    Hi All! Once you were cleared to exercise what work outs did you find helpful that had the most weight loss? I'm thinking about getting a personal trainer but not sure about the cost especially if it's something I can do. Any suggestions?

    Post surgery work out

    Thanks so much for the information! In addition to the 90 days of cardio do you work out the other days with weights? I like the idea of getting a personal trainer for a month just to show me how and what to do. How long before you were cleared by the dr to start exercising?

    Is Gatorade okay?

    I appreciate everyone's response. I love plain water but I know after several months I will need to mix it up a bit.

    I'm not a huge crystal light fan. I do like lemon and limes in my water. Another thing is I have a fruit infused pitcher which helps. Are powerade zeros okay?

    Hi! So my bariatric center is submitting my paperwork for approval to UHC today. The office told me that it can take up to 45 days to get an answer but typically its 2 weeks. How long did it take those who have UHC to get approved?!

    I got the call today! May 4th, Im getting sleeved!

    Hi all! I'm in my 4th month and have two months to go before I can have surgery...I've been thinking a lot about what if I never wake up etc, is it okay or proper to ask my surgeon his mortality rate? I don't wNt to offend him but this is my life. I appreciate your responses ????

    That's awesome! I'm in my 4th month and hoping to be scheduled late March/early April.

    Hi! I'm scheduled for March too!! I have to complete a 6-month food diary so I'm on target to have surgery in the middle to end of March!

    Hi! I'm in the middle of my 6-month food log (the last of the requirements by my insurance) and Im curious as to how much time everyone is taking off work? I was told by my doctor I would be off for at least two weeks but some take up to 8 weeks off? Is this something one can apply for short term disability for?
  15. raquel_c
    So probably 2-3 weeks will be safe. Thanks so much for all the responses!

    @@dashofsunshine thank you so much for that information! While I do not suffer from PCOS I have had a miscarriage. I turned 30 this year and one oft reasons for having this surgery is so I can have a healthy pregnancy and be considered "high risk". Everything I have read says one can have a healthy pregnancy, makes me feel better your surgeon agreed. Thanks again for your response and best of luck on your journey

    @@dashofsunshine #3 is a great question! What did your surgeon say?
  19. raquel_c
    Hi! I was in the same boat you are! I'm a candidate for both the sleeve or bypass and I asked my surgeon which he thought was best. While he didn't come right out and say it he did give a lot of useful and helpful information for me to decide with the sleeve! I hope this helps! Good luck at your appt!

    Hi! My nutritionist suggested that i start trying different brands of protein prior to my surgery. Any suggestions on brands would be greatly appreciated!
  21. raquel_c
    I have UHC too! I'm in the middle of my six months! I'm hoping I get approved. I am the same height and weight but I do have high blood pressure. Good luck to you!

    Hi! My psych Eval was just a conversation. We chatted and she asked a few questions but it was nothing to stress about. Good luck!
