Ok so it is about his insecurities in regards to my becoming "more attractive to other men" and "all the attention I'll be getting." But you still don't have to make hurtful comments in regards to ones current size or the extra skin that I may or may not have afterwards.

3 scales??

I'm done. I just really don't think I have it in me to deal with MY emotions and fears let alone his BS!

Virginia Medicaid pays for bariatric surgery.

I'm in my 6 months waiting period trying to desperately to not gain a single ounce but to lose what I can. In the last month I've only lost 2 pounds and this morning the day of my weigh in with my PCP for my 2nd time the scale says "back to my original weight"!!!!! I count calories I am conscience of what foods I put into my body! I'm so hard on me but isn't that why I'm having surgery anyway? Because loosing weight for me just isn't about counting calories or exercise??!!! It's still just so annoying and aggravating that I can't even seem to keep off 2 F-in pounds!!!!!!

No they don't require me to lose a certain amount, I just CAN NOT GAIN!! But it's so aggravating because I know how hard I'm trying and the scale just keeps flip floppin! Started at 280 then went to 278, 277.6, 275, 278, 281, 277.4 it's BS!!!!

DONT BE!! It's fine! Just be honest!

I was 19 and 9 months pregnant at my lowest weight of 220lbs...I am now 35 and currently hovering at 277lbs....

A few days.

I haven't been sleeved yet and I have my 2nd dr appointment tomorrow of the 6 I have to have per insurance. I have been trying new protein drinks and eating better and have lost 2 pounds in a month. However, I have this horrible pain on my left side under my ribs. I was thinking spleen issues. Question is...has anyone else had this feeling while trying to eat better and can to much protein be the issue?

Also been on the side of being cheated on. I promise guilt also comes with this side side as well. Well hope your safe in whatever/whoever you do.

What will they say after your dead from obesity and comorbitities?

I've been on both sides of the situation. The cheater comes with a TON of guilt at some point or another, I promise you WILL feel regret and guilt. Maybe not right away maybe not in a year or two but you will!

Why are you scheduled so far out?

Only list here comments you have heard others say if you have chose to tell them about your surgery. 1.) Why would you want to do that? 2.) Are you sure this is what you want to do? I told my my husband, my kids and made the mistake of telling my MIL!

Opinions are like armpits, some stink, some don't. In the end we are all responsible for our own results. So chose wisely and listen to your dr.

The vitamin patch is good for absorbing vitamins and minerals through the skin, HOWEVER, IRON AND CALCIUM DO NOT absorb through the skin! So I will use what I have bought till surgery BUT I know suggest that you follow your Drs recommendation on the vitamin chewables or capsules.

The patch doesn't provide enough

Are you working out as well?

There's no excuses! Pre make a lunch the night before!

My nutritional visit is over and I have been cleared by my registered dietitian for surgery. She said that normally they have patients come back for more classes and questions but I did not need to I was more than ready I am so proud and I am so ready. Now I am off to my psyche Val!

I almost slipped today and told my sister. Gotta keep my business in the DL!

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR RECOGNIZING THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HERE IS YOU!!!! You GO!!

I'm thinking as of now I'll have the sleeve. But I'm wondering is it really that much more difficult for the bypass? I am seeing a few people who have gone back into surgery to have the bypass after a sleeve. This is a difficult choice.
