I went and saw the nurse today and I got everything set up for what I need to do next most of my paperwork has been transferred to unity and then all I need to do is make the appointment get the approval and get a second opinion from the surgeon and doctor they put me on vitamins already

Thanks everyone for the support! I was able to go to the seminar on the 29th and I already have my first appt with the nurse at unity hospital at 3 o'clock today. This happened really fast for me!! I'm so excited but I keep hearing bad reviews about the lap band so I'm thinking about doing the sleeve instead....... We will see.... I need my new surgeons advice now, since he actually seems like he cares.

Going to unity

I live in st.cloud MN. My doctor never asked me to lose weight and due to my meds and the deposit shot I gained 18 pounds in a span of like 6 months then he asked me to lose 40 pounds in 4 months in the first month and a half I lost 17 pounds. But when I visited him last he told me he wasn't sure if he wanted to go ahead with surgery so I cried because I have been waiting so long that's when he asked me to lose 40 pounds

I have went through everything he has requested me to do.. He had me visit psych, I did that for a month and a half and the psych doctor approved me for surgery. He had me meet with several people over the last year to get things ready for surgery. I even have been doing calls with health partners for coaching..... His concern is that surgery will mess with my mental health..... I feel like in all reality it will help my mental health. I feel so discouraged that I did everything I was asked to do just to be rejected my my own surgeon. I have a seminar to go to at a different hospital in the cities area on Tuesday at 6pm..... Wish me luck!!

I am a smoker, will I need to quit before the surgery for the doctor to go ahead with it?

For my post op diet I think I'm going to be fine but I'm wondering what I all need for after my surgery.... food & supplies....? Any helpful ideas so I can be prepared?

Thank you for the information! I didn't know that. I probably will go with a low carb fruit and veggie combination to put in the juicer. With protein powder maybe, if I'm allowed....

Does the liquid diet include juicing? Because I want to get a direct support of nutrient's.

Thank you so much for your support!! That's so awesome for you I'm so excited to see myself in a year!! I know I can do anything for a short period of time! I decided to watch the whole surgery on YouTube, it's really not that bad.... Seems so minimal.. But it's the being put to sleep then waking up. Ugh I had my wisdom teeth done on anesthesia and I woke up in a total anxiety attack.... I just don't want that to happen and idk if adivan will work as I already take it for anxiety. But who knows lol

I meet with my surgeon on may 9th to talk and then I meet with the food specialist too right after. How long until I get the lap band from this point? Its been about 7 months since I started this process....

Layne Bryant is an excellent place to buy a sports bra!! they are comfy and very supportive!
