The Dr.likes you to loss bc it shrinks your liver& it's easier for them to get to your stomach. That's what my dr. Told me anyways!!!! Sent from my SM-T560NU using the BariatricPal App

The nurse told me you have to loss 14%of your weight,all I lost was 14 lbs before surgery & I started out at 299 pre-op, day of surgery I weighted 285. Just do the 2 Protein drinks one for Breakfast, one for lunch& lean cuisine are the best tasting dinners,in a couple days,you'll get use to it!!! You'll do great!!!!!

It's about 1/2 mile from my housec (the store)so my fat butt sure wasn't walking in Texas 90's weather,but I got a ride &didn't get exhausted from just shopping like before,so I'd say yes,my be not at your level,but I feel pretty darn good☺????

I weighed 280 at time of surgery,my post surgery weight was 293,I was told by the nurse at my surgeon's office,you need to loss 15% of your pre-op weight!!!!! Sent from my SM-T560NU using the BariatricPal App

I really need help,had my surgery July 6th,since I've been home,I feel like I'm starving!!!I guess I thought with the surgery the hungry pains would be gone,will they ever? HELP!!!! Sent from my SM-T560NU using the BariatricPal App

Goes anyone know what they check for in your last blood test? My surgery is in the morning, July6th!!!! I also found out if you loss 15%of your pos-op. Weight,if you weight 289,you will need to loss 14 lbs.

Oh,wow!!! I met my surgeon from the first time I had an appointment,where is it you live?I had to do the upper GI,stress test,sleep study, physiological evaluation &meet with a dietitian,but every month I meet with my surgeon,that just sounds weird to me. As soon as my insurance approved everything I had already had a surgery date,which is next Wednesday July 6TH. I'M SO VERY excited!!!!! Sent from my SM-T560NU using the BariatricPal App

Wow,who cares,their going to blow your stomach with co2,so I doubt their not going to have time to check out your draws!!! JK! Sent from my SM-T560NU using the BariatricPal App

Haven't had surgery yet,but I watched the view when Rosie O'Donnell was still on there &she was saying, she would take her kids to Burger King& she would get like a quarter pounder with cheese,fries & a large drink.She said now she can eat 3FF!!!!! Ya know once I have mine done I'll be so scared of stretching my stomach,I know I don't want to try & eat a whole hamburger,not even without bread,I feel like I've worked to hard to get where I'am at. I'm very blessed my insurance paid for everything but the dietitian which cost me 20$&she's cancelled twice!!!! I'm not going to worry with it now. Sent from my SM-T560NU using the BariatricPal App
