I've taken the surgery orientation at kaiser and it seems to be at a much faster pace than others. I wanted to know if anyone else went through. Kaiser and what their experience was like. Thanks!

Thank goodness I had to have my surgery pushed back anyway! I had a very emotional past month and my weight paid the price. I need tips on how to handle stress without junk food please.

Lol thank you Elode, but I'm referring to the "oh my god I got 3 hours of sleep, I'm not prepared for my final in an hour I forgot to eat so here's a big can of monster and oohh look pastries!" Or the "i just had a terrible day let me eat this cookie because it will make me feel better"Type situations.

I'm a little worried about mine...they are fairly perky D's and I haven't seen a weight related change to them. I'll be the same weight for months and then *boop* half cup bigger.... But out of all my friends I've always been the small boob girl I don't want small boobs again DX

Good luck 62race! Keep us posted!

I am 21 years old and morbidly obese.... With in the last three years my weight started to spiral out of control. I lost 10 lbs in 6 months and then gained 40 in a year....I'm terrified of the effects this might have had on my health and what it could mean if I don't take care of this now. I want to live the life of a healthy (almost) 22 year old...I want to go on adventures and not have to worry that my weight will keep me from doing anything.

I still live with my family and I told them to quit with the junk food and to please support me through all of this....so what do they do???? They get brownies and Mexican food and bake little cake things and cook bacon ???? How would you handle the BS?

I'm looking at sleeve but I will wait until surgeon appt. to make anything official

Awesome congratulations and thank you for your help.

And is post op going fine? It just seems weird everyone else talks about a 6 mo wait...just want to make sure I'm doing this right

Richmond, CA I had my surgery orientation and they said it takes 2-3 months to get to surgery?

They said you need to take classes and prove you're committed so you quit? Stick to it! You have already proven to yourself you can lose weight, why not prove it to them so you can get healthy???

I legit tell them ...."I have a bmi of 49 I am MORBIDLY OBESE and I refuse to live this way any longer."

When I get back into the dating scene I honestly don't want to go out for dinner and drinks. I wants to do something non-food and fun! And I think it will depend on the person at the moment when I decide to tell them.

In CoCo county as well! 5' 1" And I'm actually looking for a black dress. Please pm me

But they can make healthier choices and not do brownies Mexican food and cake all at once. And why so soon after I tell them Iwant support?

Oh god this is scary I have 130 lbs to lose..... Almost all is in my stomach..... But I'm going to do anything and everything to keep the lose skin to a minimum

I am having similar issues. My 18 year old brother told me he thought i was taking the easy way out. i asked him if he was a doctor and offered him all of my information. I am pushing my (household) family to be more supportive and what do they do? They bring brownies and get mexican food >_> They're going to find out very soon how big of a ..."brat".. I can be when I am determined. Anyone who tries to disapprove is going to listen to an hour long rant about how unsupportive they are and have been and why this TOOL is best for me.
