What type of counseling do I seek out?
chellyvillen replied to amyandgreg1234's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have similar eating habits and I found someone that specializes in behavioral therapy for weight loss. It is easier to find people who specializes in behavioral therapy but they usually work with OCD, and autism. Hope that helps. -
To tell or not to tell?
chellyvillen replied to Briswife15's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I am pre-op and I decided to only tell people who I *knew* were going to be supportive. Ifthere was any uncertainty or potential for someone to try to force their opinions on me, I didn't tell them. I've told a few friends, and my boss, but not my mom... -
Bariatric haul! What have you bought for your journey or plan to buy?
chellyvillen replied to Yo-yo girl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The thing I bought that hasn't been listed, is an undated daily planner. I started using it one month pre-op. I like to plan everything out, and having it all in one place (vitamin schedule, appointments, meal plans, work deadlines...) helps me out so much. -
The most common metal allergy is nickel, which is in sterling silver in different amounts. Titanium and stainless steel don't have any nickel in them as far as I know, they are considered hypoallergenic.

Need help finding multivitamin that I can take after surgery
chellyvillen replied to Italia904's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Dr recommended generic 'flinstones' style vitamins for the first 2 weeks after surgery, as long as they have 18 mg Iron. They were like $5.
