Please update me after your trip and tell me how everything went![emoji1] Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I do have a closet of different sizes. In high school it was easy to stay fit i did crew and field hockey and i kept all those clothes. I am just hoping that because I am 26 and my starting weight is 240 that i will be ok after 3.5 months. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you everyone! I just got the call 5 minutes ago about my insurancr approval... i am terrified! 🤢🤮🤮🤮 Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah i am going to tell him about my vacation at the meeting before the surgery and see what he has to say about it. Id rather be prepared to have a tough time and know the worst case scenarios. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Its booked thats why im so scared! No going back now even if the day before i am not doing so well. I cant do that to his family being the only non blood or marriage relative. Putting a lot of pressure on my recovery but I guess all i can do is follow the instructions to the letter and hope for the best... i am still on the fence as to whether i will even get the surgery once i get the call to see if insurance approved me or not... but deep down i think ive already decided to. Just scared to say definitively yet. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thats awesome thank you. They also bought the food package that includes 1 alcoholic drink. Im curious as to whether i will even be allowed to drink it. I know someone who got a bypass and she gets drunk off 2 drinks, so i know if i do drink not to have more than 1. But can i even have 1, 4.5 months post op? Or is that different for everyone too?

I heard waist trainers arent that healthy because they squeeze you so much your organs, after a long amount of time wearing them, start to shift.. maybe a myth but. Just be careful! [emoji6][emoji173] Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Its just scary to think about. His grandparents paid for the cruise, his parents the airfare. I just dont want to ruin anyones vacation. Including my own. I mean its Disney! But what other choice do I have. I guess im just looking for other sleevers 4 months post op experiences. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am going to disney for the second time with my boyfriend of 5 years and 18 of his family members. We take a vacation every year and i am the only one not blood related or married into the family. My surgery is scheduled for november 5th pending insurance approval... will i be able to do Disney cruise for 3 nights and then to Disney for 3 days mid March, without slowing anyone down, or being sick, or not able to do certain things? I cant be the only non blood relative and be a burden or a pain. Its causing me a lot of anxiety about the surgery. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I dont understand why in all these nutritionist appointments and such i was told id need vitamins everyday for the rest of my life. I just wish i could talk to my surgeon asap. But the scheduler said once insurance approves it i will be seeing him, before the surgery. So i guess i can ask him all these questions then. But yes, my nutritionist told me with the sleeve i will have to take vitamins everyday for the rest of my life. I guess in a perfect world if i ate perfectly i might not need to but. How can you find out what vitamins youre low on? Just a blood test? I guess its all a process. A very daunting process. I think i still want the sleeve, because that is what all the doctors have said based on my case would be best for me. I am just worried that i wont be able to tolerate so many foods. And that will make life so much more difficult. Lifes hard enough without having to be like well i cant eat lettuce beef this that and the other. I know im venting very hard right now i appreciate your patience and advice Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

What are the reasons people would want to reverse it? Because they cant eat what they want? Id rather be healthy. But if there are other reasons like your body cant tolerate a ton of foods and it just makes general day to day living extremely difficult because of your limited options and your special dietary needs. I thought they took out the part of the stomach that absorbs most of your vitamins and minerals and thats why vitamins were so important with the sleeve, but Theyre less important?
