Can't lose weight even though I'm trying hard as I can and still not losing. What are some things that you done to lose weight before surgery? Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

No I don't think so I know I have a slow metabolism but I was thinking the same about PCOS though Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

That was great I have given up my sweet tea habit but still nothing but hopefully I still get approve Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Yes I totally agree, my next appointment is Sept. 9 with my doctor and I'm going to ask her cause I need to know thank you so much for the advice Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I lost very little. Are you required to lose a certain amount? If so - have they suggested a diet?Really my doctor didn't say I had to lose a certain amount she just want me to lose weight but the dietician told me that since I haven't loss weight that they wouldn't approve me like really I don't even know if she allow to do that because I feel it's up to my insurance not her I don't know I just feel like that never told me a certain amount from the beginning on how much to lose so right now I don't know what to do because I'm trying I'm just not losing.

Need to know how much weight I need to loss to get approved for gastric bypass my dietician don't want to approve me for the surgery because I'm gaining weight instead of losing, and she feels like I'm not going to succeed if I do have the surgery because my head is not in the game even though I really the surgery and feel like I absolutely needs it. I want to get this show on the road and prove to her that I can do this now and after I have the surgery so I want to lose weight and start eating better so how much do I have to lose for her to see that I'm actually doing it and approve me? Any advice plz I really want this.

I'm starting to understand it all I thought if I loss weight they wouldn't approve me and now I understand it's the other way around the more I learn the better it will be for me so thank y'all so much for the advice I needed it Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Wow that's great now I'm starting to understand cause I didn't understand that Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I haven't as yet cut those things out and I'm a sweet tea lover so I know I have to let those things go to see weight and I do have to see a therapist because this hard on me but I know I have to do it for my health Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

The reason I said "just enough" is because I feel like the more weight I lose, I don't think I'll get approved because they going to think I can do it on my own knowing I need that extra help, I'm not saying that I'm just going to stop eating healthy and start back eating junk food I'm just saying I don't want to lose a lot to not qualify for the surgery and I'm not saying I don't know what to eat to lose the weight , I just got to start doing it that's why I am going to talk to a counselor.

Hi, I'm trying to decide between sleeve or bypass and you said it's different than the sleeve if you don't mind can I explain how it's different Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Wow you look amazing Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Exactly to Nicki24 I totally agree with u Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

O okay I'm a big sweet lover and I want the sleeve hopefully it will stop me in my tracks. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I know when I went to the seminar the surgeon was saying the sleeve was similar to the bypass but I'm like u I don't know either even tho I have awhile before I get to where u are but I do believe that both is good and going to give u great results but the good thing is the sleeve is less time under the knife Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

So if u eat a lot of sweets and so on the by pass is more suitable than sleeve? Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App Sorry I was asking that question? Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App
