Your response to: "but you aren't 'THAT' big!"
Big_Mama replied to MisforMimi's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I get this all the time from Co-workers. I'm 5'10" 327 lbs, wear a size 18, but very heavy chested . People tell me all the time they don't see how i can weigh as much as I do, but the scale doesn't lie, and what I want to do for my own health is not their problem. -
Just to share...the story angers me
Big_Mama replied to silvertaurus's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@silvertaurus I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. I haven't been sleeved yet, but joined this sight to learn more ang hear the good and the bad. More people tend to post the positive, but there is always that 1% that didn't go as planned. I'm sorry that had to be you. Complications of this magnitude are what scare me. -
@@BLERDgirl thanks for the info! Seems like different doctors have diffent requirements. My Dr was telling me that he no longer requires the 2 week pre-op diet because the size of the liver doesn't change significantly during that short period of time. @@Karess Haivala I'm glad you found this to be resourceful! I'm glad I posted the questions also! I'm new on here but everyone's been so helpful! I'm really glad I found this site!

Calling January Sleever????
Big_Mama replied to time for june's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm penciled in for January 2nd. -
I haven't been sleeved yet, my surgery is booked for 12/29. My highest weight was 368, I had my consultation last week and I weighed in at 337. My Dr. doesn't require a pre-op diet, but I'm going to do it anyway. I'm hoping be to in the 2's and then One-derland soon enough! I love reading all the success stories!

Thanks, everyone, for your input! How is everyone doing post-op so far, and how long has it been since your surgery?

@@della street, I asked my Dr about bowl prep and he said it's not necessary. It would be interesting to know what other Dr's responses were. @@Elode thank you! I'm thinking about doing the diet to help me prepare for the surgery, myself. I'm scared of the psych test because I'm an emotional eater, and I read somewhere that they will deny you if you do a lot of emotional eating. =/
