I used this company. They take insurance or flat fee. They set your appointment around your schedule. I did mine on a Saturday morning. They have night hours as well. You set your time and the doctor will call you. Took about 45 mins. And they submitted all paperwork to my surgeon's office. Sent from my VS995 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hang on b/c it gets better. My first 2 months I was a b***h. I'll be the first to admit it. All the hormone changes with losing weight was hard to take. But I also realized that I use to depend on candy when I was "in a mood". Like happy....celebrate with candy. Mad....feel better with candy. It was my bff. After surgery I had to learn to deal with emotions and not eat my way thru them. I never realized how dependent I was on junk food. After 8 weeks I started feeling like a normal person again. You will too. Luckily, it's just a phase. Sent from my VS995 using BariatricPal mobile app

Skeechers for me were the culprates. They are so comfy, but causing such pain. So now I moved onto Asics. Sent from my VS995 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was having that from doing so much walking. It ended up I needed better support in my sneakers. Ever since I've changed my shoes, my hip pain has gone away. Sent from my VS995 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am no longer sluggish. I have energy for days. People are surprised to find out I no longer have caffeine and I can keep going from 630am to midnight. Sent from my VS995 using BariatricPal mobile app

My doctor told me "you didn't gain all in a month, you won't lose it all in a month." You got this! Don't let the scale rule your day Sent from my VS995 using BariatricPal mobile app

You look awesome

My only suggestion is bring chapstick!!!

I am so very sorry for your loss. I'm sending you prayers for strength thru this difficult time.

With all the picnics and parties centered around food. Let's have fun finding what our weight loss looks like. Here's mine. So far I have lost a bushel of corn. What's your weight loss look like?

95 lbs is amazing!!!! Half way to your goal!

That is AMAZING!!!! You are an inspiration!!! I bet you feel so much better not having "Hank" hanging on to you everyday!!

Congratulations!!!

Good luck!!!

I used them and had no issues.

So very awesome!!!

You look phenomenal!!!

Today I am 2 months + 1day past my operation. I am down 55 lbs. But this journey is more than just the weight loss. This journey is about rediscovering myself. For the last 9yrs I have hid myself in the roles of being a wife and a mother. The heavier I got, the less I did. I became a bystander to my life. And worse, to my kids life. This surgery has given me my courage back. My confidence. My sense of a adventure. The day I had my surgery I started walking and have not stopped. Today I walked my 1st 5k. And I signed up for 2 more this summer. I cannot believe I am a 5k'er. I went in to this surgery thinking I would lose weight and get healthier. I never considered I would find myself along the way!

Thank you everyone!!! It is so rewarding to be on this journey with you all!

My protein is 70grams (I usually hit 60-65). My water is 64oz. I do not keep track of my carbs. But I don't have many. I think I'm allowed 20 a day, but i prob get maybe around 10.

You will most definitely find yourself. I keep thinking that to go thru such a major life change, we will keep learning and finding ourselves! I wish you the same blessings!
