I know at times I didn't want people to know because I didn't want that pressure of "what if it doesn't work" everyone will know I failed ect...but I got over it. It's really not anyone's business to be talking about yours. They must be bored.

Lenox Hill Hospital--what to expect? Having sleeve on Tuesday!
Elode replied to vida81's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I made a list of all those questions for my surgeon on my last visit before surgery I actually wrote a list and took it to ask every question possible. Don't be afraid to do that! Good luck on your surgery! -

It's never to late. If I were you I would get with my bariatric team and devise a plan to get you back on track -
Aww that's awesome congratulations!

Well I guess there's really nothing you can do now but never tell that big mouth anything again. Lesson learned.

Be careful with the food. When I was allowed to have eggs they went down fine and then the next time not so much. Try not to skip ahead.

Give us a update when you find out anything. -
I had some pre-op bingeing (food funeral) What have you. I may have been a different type of case in the fact that on my insurance mandated 3 month "diet" I couldn't lose weight or else I would be disqualified. (Weird I know) so I didn't feel too bad about it. In fact my "last food splurge" before my two week liquid diet was a McDonald's Big Mac large fry and large coke (I don't even like soda) I think it's a common fear for some to think they won't be able to eat or enjoy food ever again. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Of course A lot of us love food, that's why we are where we are now. It's not easy, it takes a ton of willpower and a complete mind change. Just because you have surgery that doesn't mean you forgot what food taste like. They operate on your stomach not your brain. It's not always a easy process, you have to make adjustments and change your life style. I'm thankful for my surgery and I'm glad I did the amount of research that I did prior to having it. I don't have hunger still so it helps but I still make a conscious decision everyday on what I will allow to pass these lips. Surgery won't take the urges away.
