Really! Any complications determined1LD

Just re-reading: I have to do 2 days before surgery 2 tablespoons of milk of magnesia and 8 oz of Water before bed and then the day before surgery just 2 tablespoons of milk of magnesia in the morning drinking only full liquids for the rest of the day. But NO OPTI-FAST I'm going to ask him tomorrow determined1LD

I'm in Akron, Ohio too Akron General is where I'm having mine (I'm getting the sleeve done I hope soon) determined1LD

I have real bad knee pain and need to kick start this weight loss but I'm in constant pain because of my knees. I want to exercise but it hurts to bad. Any ideas? My hospital I'm going with wants to get me in Water aerobics. But I want some more things I can do. I have to lose 20lbs on my own. I want to show that I'm determined. I need help. determined1LD

I'm at my Dr's appointment now asking about the fillers. The nurse said that's something I'm going to need a referral for so I will see when he comes in what he says I'll keep u posted. Thanks determined1LD

Congrats determined1LD

I will ask thanks determined1LD

Thanks determined1LD

Ok I'll try I hope it doesn't hurt bad. It hurts to bend and straighten my knees determined1LD

Thank you for these ideas but the bending and straightening of knee hurts as well I'm on bone on bone and will need knee replacement surgery after this one. Any other ideas ???? determined1LD

I wouldn't go as far as say the word never to anyone! Just know there are support groups that you can go to that you find support. That's what I have to do. I don't have much support either. Even a sister who had the surgery herself is not supportive of me. So I have to find support elsewhere and that's ok. I was scared to. I waited 3 years myself now I'm on a journey all my appointments are almost scheduled determined1LD That is why I said probably before never, qualifying words matter, and so does reading comprehension. And statistically, someone that morbidly obese has less than a 5% chance of losing weight on their own and keeping it off. I just think being rude to me and mean to her in inappropriate. This supposed to uplifting and supportive saying things like that is uncalled for. determined1LD

Did you already have the surgery done? Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

I just had my first consultation appointment on 8-8-16 which they said what would be beneficial for me is get the sleeve and then later get the RNY and seen my dietitian the same day. I've scheduled my cardiology appointment and education class appointment as well. I've called to schedule my psychology appointment but nothing yet (they haven't called me back 3rd time calling them) so far all my appointments are in September. I have to lose 20 pounds in four months before they will consider me. Which I'm nervous about. It's not impossible. I've already loss 4lbs before this appointment. I pray I can keep this going. So as for support my family I don't have any. My sister had it done a year ago but had the Rny not the sleeve. You would think she would be supportive but she says she only wants me to experience the pain and the miserable parts of the surgery. I medically need a tool to help me with my weight. My sister told me she done her surgery for preventive measures not a necessity like what I need it for. So I didn't tell her I am going to get the surgery. So the people I did tell I went back a told them I wasn't having it. So I stand alone. I'll keep you all posted.

Yes there are support groups that I can attend. I will keep you all posted. Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App
