newmebithebypass

I'm having my surgery in March of next year specifically because a its not the holidays b I work for a skeleton crew for a medical practice and its always all hands on deck and it will give me enough time to heal before my yearly family vacation

I'm pre-op but I am choosing sleeve in the coming months because I have several psych meds that I take everyday and need to be on them

so i am switching programs and i will have two nuts to my disposal and a exercise guru person thing so i am really happy with new program cant wait to meet the whole team

heres my experince so far i started at one hospital that was a center of excellence as required by my current insurance and started the classes and what not going every month as ordered no big deal then i had the usual sit down meeting with my dad to discuss our insurance plan for the next year because we dont live together any more so we had to do it over the holiday. turns out dads company got bought out this year and they are switching insurances. well frick so call my new insurance company turns out i now need to use a blue chip hospital and the current one i am using dosent fit that description. so in the past week ive set up the initial consult with the new surgeon along with getting my paper work in order from the previous surgeons becuase they will need all of that to submit to insurance. sorry so long winded but i am just hoping that i love the nut as much as i love my current one oh and i might not have to do that yucky liquid diet with this surgeon

Oh no I'm so sorry prayers coming your way

I'm pre-op but I just started counseling and in my first session was diagnosed with BED what do I tell the psych when I go for my eval

At target they sell 100 calorie packs of nuts by emerald I stock up on them when I have a coupon

I'm so sorry to hear about your son I don't have kids yet so I have no knowledge of what your going thru but I will send prayers to you and your family.

good luck on the liquid diet i think i might have lucked out and gotten a surgeon that does not require a liquid diet

im pre-op but i am choosing vsg over bypass because i take several medications to manage psychatric issues and need them to be absorbed

are you sure you dont have sleep apnea alot of obese people have it and dont know it even a mild case you might have to get tested for it any way and if you do it will help your case.

this year i have had 3 neccicary surgerys on my ears i have this weird conditon called a colestema that causes a pocket of infection to build up and eat away the bones in my ear and i was scared after i woke up i would be deaf from the surgery which is a real possibility. well my recovery for those were easy peasy and i know its gonna be the same for wls trust your team to get you through this

my best advice with trying new veggies is add butter no lie anytime i want to try a new veggie i steam it in my rice cooker/ veggie steamer and add butter and garlic salt. the salt is important to give it flavor. also with asparagus one of the things i do is cut if the hard stems and just eat the soft parts

i would call your nut i know with my program i am on full liquids as soon as i am home but its diffrent for every one

i have a buddy who i met on these boards who has the same surgeon i was origanly going with who got sleeved 3 weeks ago that i text and keep up with

I'm in a similar boat I'm pre-op and desperately hoping that once I lose the weight we will have a little mini me

I heard back from the insurance yes I have to switch doctors but I'm fine with it I actually feel more comfortable with the new team and will meet the Surgeon in two weeks I'm really liking the fact that my new team has someone that handles exercise because I don't know where to start

Does anyone have any idea what information I need to give to bcbs anthem for my pre cert. I was told I need one for them to cover the surgery and I'm clueless as to what is required please help

Dec is month 4 for me pm me if you want to keep in touch

It does help. Also I'm in Maryland. My insurance is switching from uhc to bcbs anthem at the first of the year and I'm having to switch hospitals mid stream but I have it handled. I just hope the nuts are good at this new hospital

I lost 2 lbs over the weekend due to all the running around and cooking even though I made 3 batches of my famous black bottom cupcakes. I had my whole family over including my dad as my last turkey day pre-op and I had a great time

I definitely recommend getting a membership to gnc its 15 bucks for the whole year and they have tons of sales on protein powders vitamins and the like

I'm 24 with a high weight of 290 and a bmi of 51 I'm hoping to be sleeved in March of next year. All I hear on these boards is how people wish they would have done it sooner. Well I want to be healthy in my late twenties I want to be healthy for my husband most of all I want to bring a kid into this world and right now its impossible

I buy mine from gnc I have they're membership which is only 15 bucks a month and the powder is 24 bucks for 31 servings

I was also told never to drink carbonated beverages and to wait a year for alcohol. Every nut is different but for me I know once I have the surgery I'm doing it to save my life so I'm not gonna mess it up because I can't say no to soda
