Had sex I'm a month pre op the other day. I don't know what it was but I felt sexier it felt like the first time my wife and I had sex.

Can you have tomato soup post op? Bought a whole bunch of broth but I dont see myself not having some sort of flavor.

I am at my heaviest I have ever been. For me I just used this tool as a last option. I was also like you loose it only to gain it back. But then I look at my rewards in the end. For you doing things with your kids, getting off medication, and being out of the pre diabetic box. I am also afraid of dying Diabetes is what killed both of my grandparents. My father was just put on insulin a year ago. My surgeon alsl said I am pre diabetic but he said this will help me improve my overall health. I know money is an issue but look at what you get in the end. I have just started a new job and have to take off without pay but I cant do my job if I am not feeling well or my mind is not in my job because of my health.

Well let me comment on how I feel! Cigarettes are different from weed along with alcohol. No place in anything that I have read you cant smoke weed. Unless you are her nurse or doctor STOP BEING HER JUDGE AND JURY! If you didnt have **** to say but bs then you need to keep **** to yourself. Things you missed in elementary school+

Who are you to judge? What makes her not serious because she smokes weed and she did say once in a while.

I am a weed smoker because of my PTSD and anxiety from the military. When I did my hospital admit the nurse asked and I told her I was honest. She said that weed wouldnt be a tie breaker for my surgery. I have read numerous people post op say that weed did not hurt their surgery.

So I didnt see it in my paperwork for my pre-op diet. But is crystal lite okay pre-op?

Thank you so much it has been helping get this water down!

15 more days!

The waiting game will kill you. My doctors office and myself called my insurance for a week and a half finally I got approved. I have tricare and they said usually it only take three or less days to approve. Im guessing they got tired of fighting and approved it. Im going in August 16!

Finally have a date August 17!

I am currently going through the same thing. They submitted my paperwork to insurance at the end of June. Insurance told them they had to resubmit. According to my doctors office they did and even put urgent on it. Called insurance and doctors office thursday but the insurance said they have nothing. Doctors office said they will call again. From what I hear it only takes my insurance two days to get back. So I am giving them until Wednesday and I am calling again. My doctors office said we will call you but I am not waiting on that. As I start school in September and need to have my surgery scheduled in August!

Has anyone had to do less days of the liquid diet because of being close to the minimum bmi range? I am having stomach issues so one week im borderline and the next my weight is in range. Im scared that if I do the liquid diet I will lose too much weight for surgery.

Thank you all again. It was very basic questions more like a conversation with a friend. Needless to say I passed and should hopefully get to set a date for my surgery.

Has anyone had there psych eval done from this website? If so how long did it take for them to submit your results to your doctor? And what was it like?

Thank you all mine is tomorrow. I wasnt worried just wanted to know about the whole process of it. So I guess I will know by the end of next week when my surgery will be!

It all depends on your insurance. I have tricare and all I needed was one visit with a nutritionist, labs, psych eval. Started in February and really could have been done with everything at the end march with surgery this month or next. But I was letting others determine things for me. But now that I am back on track they said all I need is a psych eval that is scheduled this week. From what I read on here my insurance only takes a few days to approve. So with all that said it really depends on your insurance and what they require and your surgeons schedule.

I am hoping to have mine in August. All I need is my psych eval and from what I have read here tricare only takes a couple of days to approve it! Super excited ready to drop this wait and pick up a new attitude!
