Lol! My son said he wants me to stay squishy! He thought the same thing, that I would come out skinny. Lol

Hows everything going for u since surgery! Ur on the loosing side now ????

Hey, I have my appointment today to get clearance for surgery. Im not sure what to expect. I want to make sure I dont say anything that would prolong the surgery time or make the doctor think im unqualified. Any tips or words of wisdom would help. How did you all did for your psych eval??

Thank you, I just left and im cleared. Yay!!!

Thats awesome, congrats to the both of you! May I ask how did the weight come off? Was it the change in eating from the surgery or was it a combination of things like exercise, etc.?? Just want to have an idea of some of the things I can do to assist with the weight coming off.

Good luck today! Cant wait to hear how everything went?

Thats a good tip about the lotion as well. Thanx for sharing your story with me. I too have had 2 children almost 9lbs. So I can totally relate.

How much weight have you lost and when did you have the surgery?? Im in the beginning stages still waiting for my surgery date and I wanted to hear you guys story to stay encouraged and motivated. Any before and after pictures would be great too. Cant wait to be on the other side of the journey already. ????????

Thanx you for ur advice! I have my sleep study tonight so I wanted to see what to expect.

Hey, I am waiting for my appointment with my bariatric doctor thats nxt week but in the mean time I wanted to be productive. I had an appointment with the sleep doctor. She ordered a sleep study for me. Im wondering if they say I have sleep apnea will it delay the process for my surgery, will I have to be on the machine for a certain period of time before I can have the surgery? Just curious as to how this works. Thanx for the advice!

@@Amyllf2 my BMI is 41 and Im wondering if I will have any access skin although im not loosing more than 100lbs, there still maybe some. If you dont mind me asking, do u have any access skin? If not have you been able to keep it tight?

Thanks for the stories! Im interested to know the weightloss stories of those who had the Gastric Bypass. I know everyone is different, will loose weight dofferently and just wanted to hear some success stories.

So how did the surgery go everyone??

I finally meet w/ my bariatric doctor today. Im not sure what to expect can someone tell me what to expect please?? Does he give me a list of requirements, do I have to find a nutritionist, etc??.... What I have done in the mean time while I waited for the appointment was to schedule a sleep study, get a referral for a psychiatrist, put all my weightloss documents together and my letter for the insurance. I just want to make sure when I see the doctor im pretty much half way through the list of requirements. Im ready to be on the losers bench ????

Thank you!

Hey, im in the works of having the surgery done and I wanted to know has anyone went down shoe sizes? I hope that is one of the perks because I wear a size 11 to be comfortable but would love to actually shop and not worry about them carrying my size. ????????

Oh ok, thank you very ur advice!

Do u know why they want me to wait longer?.. thank u! It should definitely help my case, ur right. Thank u again for ur input.

Good luck! Cant wait to be on the losers bench with you all!

Thank u! I have not seen my bariatric doc yet bcuz their still waiting on documents from my insurance to make sure im covered even tho they already told them im covered... it sucks bcuz its just wasting more time. In the mean time im trying to do other things that would be required. Do I have to see a cardiologist? Can I do that before I see the bariatric doctor if I have a referral from my PCP?

Hey, for my insurance united health it says I have to have 6mnths of monitored weightloss. I have had a certified personal trainer for 7 months, was apart of a workout company (FIF) for 9mnths and joined a gym a yr ago. Does this qualify for weightloss monitoring?? Has anyone sumbitted references like this and be cleared?? Im unsure because they are not doctors although they are certified and incorporated. Any advice would be helpful!

It didnt specify, I just know that it said I had to have weightloss monitoring for 6mnths

Ok I will... I did herbal life so I will make sure I have the trainer note my weihh ins, meal plans, and assisted medications I used at the time. So u have submitted similar documents and it was approved?

Oh ok, thank u!

Hey, so for the 6mnths of monitored weightloss I dont have a doctor that watched my progress. I do have a personal trainer that I was working out with for 7 months, a weightloss program I was apart of for 9 months and a gym membership I have had for a year. Do u ladys know if this will be accepted by our insurance? Have u submitted anything like this and if so how did it go??
