Congrats Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. It makes since. I just have to choose the right foods now. It's now or never. I don't want to be the one who regains all the weight back. That's disappointing and embarrassing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you guys. I know I sounded like I'm not sure about this. Honestly it is a huge change. I will take the hound ladies advice about everyday giving myself a goal. I believe that will help me. I tend to be an emotional eater and going through marriage separation is Not helping at all. I just have to pray and ask God to take my hand through this journey. I look at everyone's success and say that will be me one day . Once I get serious. I will I promise . It's like a drug addict Quitting Cold Turkey with No Help or support. It's funny because I have family members who have gone through this process and succeeded and I have a family member who have failed. I want a better life I just have to step away from bad food choices. I must say my 6 month doctor visits was nothing like some of you guys stories. It was a piece of cake. I lost , I gained, I lost, I gained. I didn't get in any trouble. We will see what the nutritionist says Oct 4th. Thank you guys again for your honesty.

You almost made me cry.... . That has been thee best advice I've had this whole journey. It will change my life. God Bless. I will remember to have a goal everyday. Thanks love. Awwww I'm really touched Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok!!!! For the shade . I understand surgery is "Grown up Stuff" that's what you said right. Anyway I am asking questions because I didn't get Fat over night. I've always been fat. I have tried and failed several times at this. I don't think by any chance this surgery is magic but hell if you ask me it almost is. Give me one person that have lost over 100 plus pounds in 6 months just changing their eating habits..... I'll wait. No one. I really just wanted to know when to seriously get on the ball with this . I haven't gained any weight by the way. Thank you for your comment. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm sure you all have heard this question several times. I have researched and talked about it myself. I just want an honest opinion. I originally wanted to get the sleeve, but I did not want to only lose 100lbs. I want to lose more. I'm currently 378, 5'5 and I carry my weight in pretty well places . So my question is..... If I went with the sleeve will I lose weight slower than having gastric bypass? Will the sleeve help me keep my shape? Will the sleeve be better for me because I have NO Health issues besides being overweight? Will I get under 200 lbs with the sleeve? That's based on my current weight. Or have you sleevers been unsatisfied with your results and got a revision? Did you get a revision because of easy weight gain? Not enough weight loss ? I really would like to know. I'm getting closer to surgery and need to get serious here. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I know , I know. That's what I keep telling myself. I'm like ok Tanette you want this surgery but you haven't changed you eating habits yet.... Why Not? That's the hardest thing for me. That's why I'm fat now. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Honestly. I don't care if these babies are gone. My spouse might but that's what magazines are for. Look at those boobs. I will just thank god for the day when I can get in the car and fasten my seat belt with out feeling choked. Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow .... Look at you ma ma. Looking good. I'm happy for you. And stylish too. ???????? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am going with Dr Singh at St Agnes. I originally was going with John Hopkins Bayview. Boy did that go wrong. I was suppose to see doctor Kimberly Steele and she was Not there so they had me see her nurse practitioner. Well she was not a lot of help. So I did all of my requirements and tried to see if I could finally see my surgeon. To find out she was on leave and they were not sure if she was coming back. Look at God won't he do it. It was nothing but a blessing that I went through all of that to be right where I belong in the hands of the surgeon who preformed on my sister 2 years ago. I also have to see things on my own first before I make a decision . Dr Singh is a very pleasant man. I trust him with my body. Good luck to those still waiting on surgery. Mines will not be until the end of the year. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you guys. I'm telling you, you would have thought she was not a Bariatric patient . Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh my gosh that is terrible . That she went through everything and then got denied. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow. Yeah I've been reading this. I thank god I switched surgeons because had I went with John Hopkins I would have to to start all over again. It took them forever to return calls with questions I had. I went to see the other surgeon and his assistant informed me that BCBS requires 7 months of diet .

Thank you guys . I can't wait to see what I look like after surgery. I'm excited Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The time is surely approaching to my surgery. I have been wanting this surgery since 2008. However at that time I quit my job where I had good insurance. So once I got better insurance I went for it again. This is now so exciting. I have never been a small size girl or woman. I've always been heavy. Has anyone every had the feeling of what will I look like now since Ive always been big question?!?? I wonder a lot. I look at other peoples success and my mom and my sisters success. I just know I want to be happy and healthy and still sexy . So with that being said I have only one more requirement left and that's to see the Nutritionist on Oct 4th oh and they just threw in that BC/BS is a 7 month requirement visit with weight management so I have to see my doctor on Sept 26 for my final monthly report. They said after that they will submit everything and I will know within a week about the approval and the surgery date. HW: 386 CW: 378 GW: I want to be in the lower 200s no smaller than 175 though.
