First timer here on this... I just had my appointment with my doctor and I have decided on the gastric bypass since I want to lose 200lbs+. Today I had my first nutritionist appointment and now I have to do my 90 days for insurance approval! Patience is not my virtue! Haha I want it now! My story: I had lap band done in 2010 and was doing great had lost about 70lbs (from 352 to 278) and then I started having complications. I started throwing up everything I ate or drank. I would have fluid removed from the band and then we would add more. It was a constant battle, so in 2014 I had it removed. And now... I've gained all my weight back plus some. I was shocked to find out that they no longer do the band where I go. They are taking more bands out. [emoji52] So I am super excited that I have decided to take this step in having the bypass done! I really want this to work out for me! I need all the support I can get! Friends and family are great but they don't know how it feels. They never will. What have you all been doing to keep yourself busy while you wait?!
