For those who have had surgery... Mine was the 3rd.. I'm worried I'm over-eating on my liquids.. I had about 7oz. Of soup and didn't feel full.. I stopped because of the amount... Anyone else had this concern? I thought you were supposed to feel full quickly? My doctor says up to 8oz is ok while on the liquid diet.

I think when you are at a comfortable weight and are happy where you are at, doing a consult won't hurt.. Just don't rush into anything! :-)

My uncle was over 400lbs before he started.. After his 2 year mark he had skin removal done and over his stomach, arms, and legs, they removed 27lbs!

I can deal with a little extra skin while i consider getting it corrected... I figure my overall quality of life is already improving and I just had surgery Monday! It's a big process but most importantly it's feeling confident in ourselves too!

Had surgery Monday and feel pretty good! Gas has been the worst part, but taking some gas-x really helped me this evening after drinking some milk.. Thought I was dying! Belly is slightly sore but nothing worse than a lot of crunches feeling. Officially down 4lbs since surgery day!

Very well put! A lot of crunches.. Now if the gas bubbles would go away!

Things I will not miss...

I won't miss sitting on the floor to pick my kids toys up, I won't miss squeezing into a booth if no tables are available, I won't miss achy feet after sitting, I won't miss my grandmothers remarks of how pretty I would be if I was skinnier, I won't miss being self conscious, I won't miss being embarrassed about undressing in front of my husband, perhaps sex with the light on! -

Just got my date today! June 3rd.. Super excited! A little nervous! I can't wait to be healthy again though :-). They wanted me to go into surgery next Thursday! As exciting as that would have been I can't miss my best friends wedding the following weekend while I'm recovering. I knew 2013 was my year!

I have UHC and the 6mo supervised diet is a requirement for some employers not all. So I would check specifically what your plan requirements are. I have UHC and I had to complete the 6mo weight loss diet. I just met with my surgeon and submitted everything so now I have a waiting game of 15 days....
