My doctors told me not to trust the scale the first month . You are intaking different amount of fluids every day . Therefore some days you weight more than others . Focus on measurements on your cloths fitting lighter not on the number on the scale Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Heyy guys . So my surgery is scheduled for Tuesday morning ! And I have off from work on till June 8th . That's just a week of recovery they know I'm getting surgery and I think are understanding if I can't return then but how long did it take you guys to recover ? And I keep seeing Posts about the drain . How long is that usually in for ?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thankfully I work in an office . So no mandatory heavy lifting . Sips you mean because of the liquid diet right ? Meaning to be prepared to have the necessary liquids here at work Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You were required to lose a certain amount during your pre op? Yes!! For my insurance I had to do 3 months of nutritionist and I gained like 5 pounds after he first meeting and thy told me if I didn't loose what I had gained the insurance wouldn't cover me . Then they usually require some type of pre op diet . I have read some people get to eat some meals but most of them are pure liquid .the amount of weeks differentiate but I got 3 weeks and I had to loose 25 pounds (7 % of my body weight ) before surgery and I only have lost 20 so far Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Its posible but I think you should call again asking that specific question if there are any requirements because I know I had to ask so many times for them to get me the accurate information . It's better to be safe than sorry you get me ? But If they don't require anything that's great that means that it will take less time and 500 is also great !!! Gooood luck !

So I did this and I gained so much weight prior to my surgery and guess what I had to loose even more when it came down to my pre op diet . Yes have your favriote food because come on we love food but don't over do it or i feel it's going to be harder in the long run :/ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The first thing you need to do is call your jnsurance !!!! You need to find out if they cover it and what they require in order to cover it . For instance Medicaid requires 6 months of Doctor visits stating your over weight , a psychology visit , a nutritionist visit (atleast that's what they required when I was going to do it with them ) . My insurance now required 3 nutritionist visits , 1 psych evaluation and that's it and I had to lose weight during these nutritional visits. Once I did all that my doctors office submitted it to my insurance and that's when they gave me clearance for my surgery . It is really important to talk to your insurance first . Because mine is blue cross blue shield and they required it to be in a specific hospital . And in regards to covering your pre op visits that also depends on your insurance I had a large out of pocket so I had to pay all my pre op visits cash but if you have a lower deductible or none at all then your jnsurance should cover the pre visits . So my biggest suggestion is to call your insurance and find out what they require If it's even an option . Good luck ❤️❤️ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I honestly have no idea ! There are a few girls getting te surgery the same day as me at my clinic and one of them is way bigger than me and she still only got 2 weeks like the rest. I don't know what they base them selves on Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My Surgery is on The 31st. I was assigned to do 3 weeks of pre op pure Protein shake diet . The first week was hard but I did it lost 12 pounds. These past two days have been dreadful though yesterday I tried some food but was able to spit it out before swallowing but today I wasn't able to stop . I binge ate a bunch of crap . I'm so anxious I don't know if I can do this anymore . I just want to give up Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I went to the courses that they require and the nutritionist visits . They teach you what is right and wrong and all that but they don't teach you how to deal with binge eating or stress eating atleast not the ones I went to :/ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
