glitterpockets replied to neequa25's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If everything goes as planned ill be having my surgery in January it seems so far away and I'm anxious but I know ill be doing a lot of research throughout the six months. The wiser the better I suppose I'm 25, 5'4", and 230. -

I personally know how you feel. I struggle with depression and other mental illnesses already and I've already been seeing them for that so I'm wondering how this is gonna go for me as well. -
Congrats and speedy recovery!! usually how long is the hospital stay after surgery?

yes, my insurance requires me to have atleast 3 medical reasons to be approved. I'm insulin resistant, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cellulitus in my legs which is causing boils on my thighs, and I have a hypothyroid. My first appt was today and he didn't say I had to lose weight but it was just a first appt. He said I should be ok to have surgery 01/16. I was there for over an hr and still have so many questions.

what happens if during this six months I lose some weight since ill be following a dietician/nutritionist? Will I still be able to do surgery? My bmi is 39 so I'd still be in the obese range..

I'm also new I had my first appt today and I'm so excited to do this that I'm depressed I have to wait 6 months, which I know is normal, but its finally happening !! I've never had a major surgery so I am pretty nervous about being under and something happening (I'm a mother so im a worry wart)
