Looking to find a buddy to go through this together [emoji3] I have my first appointment beginning of June and I have my nutrition classes complete. Also I'm 27 so someone around my age would be awesome [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I went into my nutritionist office through my dr, and she doesn't recommend the sleeve for me. How did you choose? I have an appointment with the bariatric team, and see what they say. She said for long term gastric is the way to go. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! How far away was she from goal? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I went into my nutritionist office through my dr, and she doesn't recommend the sleeve for me. How did you choose? I have an appointment with the bariatric team, and see what they say. She said for long term gastric is the way to go, but it's more invasive. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I know everyone is different! I did a sleeve calculator, and it says around 200 with the sleeve. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you everyone!! This really helps! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

How long ago did you get the surgery? I know everyone is different, but have you gotten really sick? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

She said with the bypass you can keep it off longer. With the sleeve it can last up to 5 years. She said if I lose weight before which I'm trying to I can be a little more successful with the sleeve. How much would you like to lose? I'm around 165. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

So exciting! Good Luck the surgery will go great. Tomorrow is the start of something new! I can't wait to hear how it goes!

Getting the sleeve I'm hoping by the end of this year. My husband is going to jump on the health train 🤞🏽🤞🏽! Anyone else doing this as a FitCouple? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Wow that's awesome. Will your insurance company cover both?

That's amazing! It makes it easier as a team! He's gained wait since we've been together. I can't wait to be healthier together!

My husband doesn't eat fruit or veggies lol. He's kind of like a child ;-), but he's willing to try.

O my that's awesome. I wish I could have lost weight on my own like that. I'm really good with working out. Getting my mind ready next. You guys are doing amazing!

That's amazing! It makes it so much easier when everyone is on board lol. Hows your surgery going so far?

Congrats on the baby!! When I signed up it took a couple weeks to go to the mandatory class, and after that a month before I could get an appointment with the dr. Call your insurance. They'll give you more information. I think in general it's a slow process. My Dr said they're high accredited office and that's why they get a lot of clients. Insurances will deny you if they aren't accredited for the surgery. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

That part scares me, but it'll be worth it. Do you drink nothing but Protein shakes? I'm guessing for that two weeks and your recovery two weeks no working out at all. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'd like to be around 170 I'm 5'7. I haven't talked to my dr yet. I'm hoping to have more info soon. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

O wow that's good that your successful on your own. How much weight have you lost all together? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
