Do whats best for you and if your pcp doesnt agree get another one. I didn't go through my pcp they had a weight loss seminar I went to and went from there. I had diabetes (no more) on metformin and a Weekndek shot. High bp(gone). Pain in back and legs sciatica( mostly gone) took baclofen, lyrica, both 3x a day and oxycodne 4-5 a day. Now I may take the pain med 2x a month. Pcos. Cervical cancer from it and in the end 6 months before surgery uterine cancer that led to a hysterectomy in June. I am 9 weeks out. Everyone tried talking me out of it. Especially with the 2 surgeries already this year. People who actually love you will love you still, even when you don't live your life like they think. Those who don't probably never did. My fiance was against it. His was fear of loosing me that's it. He's my biggest supporter and fan now. He even keeps me on track. You have to live and be around for your kids. If you feel this will help then you should. As a participant under his insurance you don't need his permission. If you have been led to believe that I would evaluate that situation. From a woman who lived in and survived getting out of a controlling abusive relationship.

I have challenges every Sunday and Wednesday at church. They eat every Wed night there and Sundays we go out. Normally not healthy restaurants either. Its a challenge. I try to eat just the meat and green veggies of they are available. Sigh and the Water. I never drink enough I'm never thirsty and liquids are uncomfortable. I'm 9 weeks out rny, but I love my clothes falling off. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Great post. I'm fairly new as well. It would be nice if people just didn't answer ?s they were "tired of answering" instead of treating others like idiots. I've been on here around 2 months and just recently found the search part. Believe me some things I personally would rather not ask but sometimes you just gotta.

To be honest I started to work out and loose weight almost 3 years ago. After about 3months I lost around 65 lbs. I had the excess skin issues and, well then I was quite vain. I'd rather be fluffy than flabby I'd say...only to gain that 65 back + a few more. I lost my mom December 28th last year, after 25 days of her coming to live with me on hospice. Something finally clicked on me. I wanted to get healthy. My mom was far from obese and ate about as much as I do now, but had high bp, copd, was on o2, with a series of her own health issues. I don't want to die at 50 like my dad or 64 like my mom. If hanging skin is all I have from getting healthy, its just battle scars from this journey of life. I have other scars too just reminders of where I been. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App
