Im so sorry to hear this. Was it your actual pouch that hurt or was it pain from a breathing tube or what? Im glad things are improving and good luck at your dr appt!
-
They tried levothyroxine and now synthroid. Idk....
-
I might have to try that in the meantime. I just had labs done and my level is still in the 30s.
-
That would be amazing, wouldnt it? I'm sick of feeling so tired and blah all the time!

Finally hit my goal
Chrisb428 replied to Itsjustjustin's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You look amazing! Congrats on hitting your goal!!! -
I have gained about the same as u in the course of about 9 mos. I don't have a surgery date yet. I finish my 6 mos doctor monitored weight loss requirement in July so I'm thinking a late August/early Sept surgery date.
-
I had no questionnaire. Just a few questions and brief discussion as to my eating patterns, alternate ways to deal with stress and boredom etc. Reasons for wanting the surgery and discussion of possible mood swings and things to expect mentally after the surgery. It was very easy and informative.
-
Yes, they do. In all honesty, I end up fasting for a day or two before my weigh in just so that I don't show a gain. It's nearly impossible to lose and keep off, if it wasn't I wouldn't be in this situation...right? Lol
-
You are definitely not alone, it's tough. I'm just hoping if I go through this process, it helps regulate things somewhat. Good luck to u as well. Mind if I follow u to keep an eye on your progress?
-
Me too.... Taking synthroid 200 daily and still struggling to just NOT gain! My insurance denies approval for any net gain during the 6 mos period before surgery. Has me scared to death!

Yeah, I kinda wish I did see him already, it would seem more "real" I stress nonstop that im going to go through the entire process only to have something happen at the end and not be able to have it done. Thats how my luck works...haha! -
Sending prayers! I hope the worst is behind you. Try and stay positive!
-
I planned to clarify with my dietition, but figured i would ask here. After gastric bypass when looking for acceptable choices, am i only looking at the sugar amount or the total carbs?

I'm glad your consult went well. Now if you are anything like me, you will be impatient and waiting for your next step. I'm only halfway through my process and started buying things, planning, reading everything I can! -
