I am so excited!! I wasn't sure what my husbands reaction would be when I told him I researched long and hard and decided I wanted to proceed with gastric sleeve surgery and that I have an appointment for a consultation next week Today he informed me that he wants to do it with me and now we both have an appt together next week. !!!

Can you just use baby food ? Seems easier to just buy the jars Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I'm a little confused, Some or most ins co require that you see a nutritionist for 6 months prior to approval . Are you supposed to lose weight in that timeframe or is it to show you can't lose weight and would benefit from the sleeve?? If you do lose weight do they not approve you ???

How fast did you return to work ? I am not telling anyone at my job . Not embarrassed in any way at all . I just don't feel it's anyone's business . My support system is at home . My plan is to NOT request time off of work and just call and say I had appendicitis or something and take off 2 weeks. Would that be enough time ?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm a little confused as to why we see a nutritionist ?? If we could lose the weight on our own we wouldn't need the surgery right ?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
