Can someone explain this "drain" that scares me! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

People use it for other reasons. Not wanting a period is not mine. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi ladies, Has anyone had an IUD and had wls? I've had my IUD now for almost a year and I'm terrified about having to take it out. Is it really necessary to take out for this surgery? Any thoughts or advice would be great! Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was asking if it's necessary to remove it for the surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Which IUD do you have? The mirena? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

An IUD releases hormones.... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Really? What was the reasoning behind that? I've read everywhere that if you are on birth control you must stop it! I'm terrified of having to take it out!!

What are these drains you all speak of? Why do they put drains in? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's amazing! I don't have a date yet! I'm seeing my surgeon on Wednesday of this week Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi ladies! Just curious! What should I expect on my first visit? And if I don't have to do any supervised weight loss (which I don't) how soon will I have my surgery date? What was your experience like? Give me some insight! Thank you in advanced! Jessica:) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

WOW! Congratulations on your accomplishment! Thank you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's awesome!!! How's it going for you? I'm doing it at memorial! I'm also an employee there and I'm doing it with Dr Eckstein! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi ladies! I do have insurance, but I'm a nurse and I have the hospital insurance! My surgery is covered 100% and I don't have to do any supervised weightloss! I just wanted to know what the average wait time was for people who have the same "insurance requirements" as me?! Good luck to all of you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Dr. Weisman, he's great! I have personally stood in surgery with him and have watched the surgery live! Good luck! You are in good hands! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just added you on IG! I'm doing it with Dr. Eckstein in Memorial. You? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! And yes I am! I'm so excited! Wow! Congratulations! You must be feeling great! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Whenever you have surgery and you're under anesthesia it's protocol to be kept on oxygen! I'm an RN. It's normal to be connected to a whole bunch of wires and IV lines especially an hour after surgery! It's the most crucial time if something were to happen!

Ugh!!!! I don't want to wait that long! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What insurance do you have? If you don't mind me asking? I'm hoping I don't have to wait 3 months and LOL sometimes being a nurse makes things 100 times worse because we know exactly what to expect and we know the things that happen in the field haha! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm an RN, and my anxiety level about the surgery is insane, but I think it has more to do with the excitement of this new journey! If you're worried about the surgery itself, you won't remember or feel a thing. Anesthesiologist are at the head of the bed and will ensure that you wake up at the end of your surgery.....and IF you don't, there are medications that will wake you up! I assure you that it won't be a problem! Anyhow, I'm seeing my surgeon in 2 weeks! How long did it take you all to get a surgery date? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
