I was told to wait 2 years after surgery because your chances of miscarriage are much higher the closer you are to surgery. So waiting Un till your body is leveled out is best.

Seeing everyone getting surgery days and surgeons say possibly next month is making me so jealous lolz. I haven't even met my surgeon yet. How is it some of you have met yours already. I can even set an appointment with him until I'm done with all my pre qualifications. This process is just so long.

I tested positive for the H pylori. It sucks they give you so many pills to take. I'm taking 8 a day and hopefully they work. I've heard they can be antibiotic resistant if you have taken alot in your life and boy have I I taken a but load. So I really hope they work I don't think I can take any more pills

Ok so how many of you hate needles and are freaking out about all the blood work we need and the IV? I know I am

Well Insurances always make you jump through hoops. But depending on the things you have tried before to lose weight will sometimes help. My insurance usually has you do 6 month of dietitian meetings before we can be approved along with a psychological evaluation, but because I had tried weight watchers the cut me down to only 2 meetings. So as long as she thinks I'm ready when we meet Aug 12th i should be all set to go. Still have to meet with my surgeon and see if he adds anything but so far it's been easy. I hope it's that way for you. It's the waiting that's the hardest on all of us. ????

Just finished my psychological evaluation today and only have 1 more appointment with my dietitian and then a sleep test. Once that's over I can schedule my next appointment with my surgeon to schedule my surgery. This has become a never ending cycle of appointments. All these hoops we have to jump through at some point becomes ridiculous, but in the end it's all 100% worth it. Everbody keep your heads up. It my seem like it will never come, but there will be an end to this. We will all meet our goal as long as we keep our heads up and focused. Just thought I would give everyone a little extra motivation today. Every once in a while we need a little push. To remember we can do this. We're strong and we'll be happy in the end just keep fighting. ????

Add me in Shes_2_nice. could use some WLS buddies

Hey, i just started this to I've only had one NUT appointment and i have to meet with her one more time before i can set a surgery date but I'm still pretty early in to the process. I'm looking for some sleeve buddies to so I'm not alone in this. I'm here if you ever need to talk.This process cant be a pain in the butt.

My Nut is making me do the "preparing for bariatric surgery diet. Which I basically following the guidelines for how to eat after surgery. The taking 30 min to eat anything and no drinking while eating and eating the recommended portions sizes and I just feel so hungry throughout the day. I know it's only to help me prepare but it's making me want to ready everything I see. Itv take alot of my will power not to stuff my face and that's really hard. Just want to know if I'm alone in this or are some of you guys hungry to?

The end for me was when I looked at all the pictures of my daughter with me in them and thinking she can't see these. Telling people hold let me move so you can take pictures of her. Being 23 and 300 lbs and having my 50 year old aunt tell me that at my age she wasn't even close to my size, and she 450 now. That scared me so much. I know I have to do something now before my life and my daughter's is over. I don't want my back to hurt or my knees to pop. I have to fix it before the damage is unfixable. I want to be here for my baby girl for as long as I can, and be healthy for her so we can run and play without mommy having to stop to catch her breath or sit down because I hurt. I'm doing this for her as much as I am for me.
