STARTING NEW

I just had surgery and I was covered with children's COMUNITY ... DO Not change the only thing you need with them is to have a high bmi that is it you don't have to have co-morbidities nothing just have a bmi over I believe it's 40 6 months supervised diet with primary and nutritionist and that's it ! If you have all that done u are approved it usually takes them 8 days to let you know your approved if not sooner! Good luck I am 7 weeks out 55lbs down so far and so excited about how this is working out for me! Vicky

Congrats!!! left you a message on you tube!!

@@dhrguru you should be excited 45lbs down imagine you do that again in 2 months that is 90lbs in 4 months yikes that's awesome so keep doing what your doing!! And be proud of your 45lbs that's 4 10lb bags of rice and 1 5lb bag that's a heck of alot of weight!!!! And rice lmao!!

Hello, I am having my Rny surgery on 7/8 and i was informed it is distal 150cm what does this mean .. i am confused i have been reading and i am understanding there is less weight loss. My Doctors assistant advised me i would loose more ?? I am confused someone please educate me that knows the correct answer... I want to know if this is the case to let him know not to do a distal he recommended it because of the fact that i told him my bowels are sometimes hard for me?? Please if anyone can answer??

@@dhrguru if you don't mind me asking when did you have surgery how much was your begin and what are you at.now?

@@muzical1 thanks for the reassurance! ! Praying for your speedy recovery!!

@@muzical1 how was the surgery I have mines on 7/8 is it painful?? Details please!!!lol

Good luck to everyone!!! Prayers for a fast and speedy recovery!! I have my surgery July 8th at 5am!!

I am having rny on July 8th! Can't wait!!

@ if you don't mind me asking what pain med are you on and how many times a day do u take it. I have 5 ,herniated disks, degenerative disk disease, Ostioarthriatis in my knees and I was on all types of pain meds for years got addicted in the sense I couldn't function without them. I have been on methadone for 5 years for my chronic issues contrary to popular belief methadone is also given for chronic issues I was on a high dose 1 time daily and I have been tapering down my docs all seem to think I should wait till after surgery to continue to taper down they feel that because of all my chronic pain and issues I will forever need something for pain and I am trying to be optimistic and hope with the weight loss my pain will be manageable

@@mwilson1981 you look beautiful wow! What a inspiration! ! If you don't mind can you share your starting weight?

@@Tracy6035 thanks for the reassurance. I had my stress test today and it was not what I imagined it to be the most uncomfortable I got was a little warm they were really good in calming my nerves especially my nurse and the cardiologist so now I am ok to have surgery...so excited???? so how is your weight loss going an most important how are you feeling?

My surgery is rescheduled to July 8th I need to do a stress test on Jun 4th because my ekg came back slightly abnormal so I am feeling sad because I have to wait and nervous because of my stress test

Congrats!!!! My surgery is scheduled for the May 20 th sending prayers and positive vibes everyrthing will go smooth for you!! ????

I got my date today!! For May 20th I need the same help please!!!

HELLO!! MY name is Vicky I looked into surgery back in 2002 I was in a awful marriage got divorced since and gained a ton of weight probably around 100 pounds I am at 331.5. I started this process about 6 and half to 7 months ago with my hope of finally doing something for myself my children are grown and now it's time for me. I got my much anticipated call today I was approved and I am now scheduled for May 20th! I am 39 and my biggest regret so far is I didn't do it years ago! But here I am and it's never to late! I would love to find some buddies or a buddy for encouragement and I can also give my help in anyway as we all start this new life change! Please add me as a friend to your list if you like. I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US!!!

@@Jennifer2322 I weigh 331.5 I honestly have never heard of to big I read all these postings and watch you tube all the time I have seen people much heavier than us and have never heard a one talk about too heavy. What I did was go on a liquid diet for two weeks because I gained 5lbs in 6months and part of my ins. Must do's is not gain a pound so I had premier protein for two of my meals and I found some low sodium broth chicken flavor added the water to it and dropped two eggs and let it come to a boil I ate that for lunch and I piggd out on sugar free Popsicles and drank crystal light all day and in 6days I lost 12pounds. Talk to your nutritionist ask her to design a liquid diet for you to drop a few pounds... so your doc will back off it will also give you a test in seeing how ready you are for the surgery.. at least it is what I told myself. You can also try low low Carb high protein that will be a way of life after surgery☺

Prayer for you!! Keep us updated!!

@ jennifer2322 This is the first I have heard of too heavy for surgery I am waiting on insurance approval and I am at 61 bmi. I HAVE been watching my 600lb life and I assusmed over 650lbs is too heavy. I am gonna get to reading some more. What state are you in?

Hello I am feeling like its been forever! In reality only 6-7 months. My Dr. Held on to her office notes for 1 month before faxing them over to my surgeon.. Now its the waiting game.... Iam wondering if anyone has used them and if they are really slow? It took them 4 days to scan and enter my info now its under review.. I guess everyone goes thru this anxiety of wanting to be approved and having a answer NOW!!!

@@Jb1176 I believe first you need to be on a laptop or desk top and sighn in through the full site not the mobile site and then go to profile and there will be more options than through the mobile site.
