In Louisiana you need to do a 6 month supervised diet. Once you do that and meet all qualifications it usually is pretty quick. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

3...2...1...Liquid diet!

So far I have learned Protein powder is awful!!! I guess I will have to do the shakes and I really don't like milky stuff. After my experience with the "flavorless" powder, I welcome milky stuff! Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App -

May 10th. Start my liquid diet today. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App -
Met with my surgeon and nutrionist today. When I asked him how long I will need to take off of work he said 6 weeks. I definitely wasn't expecting it to be that long. It didn't take me that long after I had a hysterectomy. I have a housecleaning business and work for myself. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I just finished my 6 month process and hope to be sleeved in May. Can anyone tell me how often and how many post-op appointments to expect? I will be losing my current insurance in June. I see my surgeon next week. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I found out an hour ago...May 10th! Louisiana here. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App -

No benifits like that for me. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I do both. It will be tough, but I'll figure out how to take the 6 weeks. It's just really hard to find someone dependable to take my place cleaning. Also, most the houses I clean only want me because I have been doing it so long and they know me well. I do have great clients though and they want the best for me.

What was your "Yep. I'm getting WLS." moment?

It's almost as if you wrote "my story". My mom was 68 when she passed away. She was a very old 68! Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App -

So what's the deal with fizzy drinks?
sbdooly73 replied to MamaRhea's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I met my surgeon and nutrionist today and they said wait at least 3 months before drinking out of a straw. I was also told no more carbonated drinks EVER. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App -
Good news today! The surgeon said I'm an excellent candidate! All of my records were submitted to insurance today. Looks like early May! I should get a date Friday or Monday after approval! I'm thinking positive. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I was on synthroid for a while and it made me extremely emotional, (which is unlike me) and I stopped taking it. My former doctor wouldn't listen to me and uped the dose. I quit going to him and my new doc has me on armor thyroid. It seems to be working, it's just taking time. Every 6 weeks my levels improve. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I actually go for bloodwork tomorrow morning. Hopefully my thyroid will be in the normal range. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I'm on medication but the dose isn't right yet. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

My BMI is high enough. They can deny me because my thyroid levels are not in the normal range, even with medication, which causes weight gain. They can say WLS won't be successful. Hopefully I'm just stressing because of being so close. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App
