    Previous Testing?

    @@ylluz Yes I sure did, I'm 8 + months out. Notice my lovely tracker below
  2. Hello! I am 5'8 and had 0 co-morbs. I did have to have and keep a BMI of 40 due to that fact, throughout my 3 month "diet" phase which was a joke because I had to gain 8 lbs to stay qualified..crazy, but I did it and was approved the first go round. I stayed in the hospital for 2 days. As far as the hair yes, I lost hair from month 3-7ish it happens which is the reason for my lovely new short hair. I can't complain I'm down almost 100 lbs and I like my new hair sooooo whatever, small price to pay. As far as water everything is a work in progress and you can't really rely on having any of the same outcomes as me or anyone else for that matter. It's just a journey you have to take for yourself to see what happens. It's a blast! No regrets!!

    It will depend on the time frame they want the test done in to be valid. I'm not sure why you would even need a colonoscopy? I didn't have to do any of those test. Your right he will be able to tell you for sure, good luck!

    Vomiting postop

    @@rnsamantha I was doing that quit a bit, I went practically vegetarian for awhile but drank my protein shakes to keep protein count high. Meat is hit or miss with me too. I think chicken is the worst, and I'm a notorious fast eater, doomed! I'm not really sure what you could do since I'm In the same boat but do vegetarian for awhile....

  13. Coffee is acidic so it could be contributing to the problem. Go a couple days w/o it and see.

  22. One of the main reasons why you can't wear a bra besides it being in the way is because a lot of bras have metal in them, if God forbid something were to happen where you were to need a defibrillator used to restart your heart you would NOT want any metal on your body while being shocked. You would get fried. Trust me nobody is going to give a second thought to what you look like, we healthcare professionals see so much on a daily basis it's not even worth mentioning, unless you come in the ER with a foreign object shoved up your butt....we will laugh at you behind your back and then keep it moving good luck on your surgery!!!
