I'm still very early in the process, and I'm still waiting for the surgeons office to initially call me, but I called my PCP and this is the doctor they said they sent the referral to anyone ever go to him the reviews say he's 4.6 stars... Sent from my KFMEWI using BariatricPal mobile app

She sent my info to the surgeons office and I still haven't heard from them at all I've called a couple times and they won't call me back ugh this wait game is killing me. I'm so anxious to hear back[emoji45] Sent from my KFMEWI using BariatricPal mobile app

I haven't had the surgery yet, I'm just wondering if ill have a rough time being that my baby just turned 1 and he still needs to be held and picked up and chased around etc. Sent from my KFMEWI using BariatricPal mobile app

Any single moms with babies under 2 have a hard time adjusting after surgery? Sent from my KFMEWI using BariatricPal mobile app

I have a doctor's appointment in a couple hours where i plan on asking my doctor for a referral so I can get a VSG my bmi is 49.7 I'm 24 and my family keeps saying no they won't do it (we all have the same doc) I've decided that this is what I want to do but I'm scared of rejection

I called my pcp a couple days ago and they are still working on the referral I'm so anxious to get the ball rolling I wanna know what happens from here on out...and I'm obsessed with watching vids from people who have gotten VSG on YouTube lol thank you for checking on me [emoji175][emoji4] Sent from my KFMEWI using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes I'm almost 24 and it stinks that I've struggled all my life with my weight I feel like I'm too young to be having back problems and knee issues I don't want to waste anymore time. I agree with it not being easy, and it bothers me when my own family tells me it's the easy way out I already know it will be a challenge but I'm ready to grab it by the horns. Thank you for the encouragement and congrats to you...This community is already so amazing it's so cool that I have so much support from those I don't even know!!!

That is awesome! I can't wait to feel confident in short little dresses again and actually feel pretty again. I had actually lost a lot of weight before I got pregnant down to 190 but during pregnancy I gained everything back and MORE!(now 315 my heaviest) I'm ready to make a long term lifestyle change..hopefully my place offers clothes that would be amazing being that I'm now a single mom who can't fit any of her old clothes...CONGRATS TO YOU! and thank you for the encouragement.

It's a hormone pregnant women produce, you inject your stomach everyday and follow a very strict 500 calorie diet. Sent from my KFMEWI using BariatricPal mobile app

She sent the referral I'm so ready to get the ball rolling! Sent from my KFMEWI using BariatricPal mobile app

Update, she was way more onboard than I expected! I'm excited to begin my journey...she sent a referral to my insurance..what happens next? Sent from my KFMEWI using BariatricPal mobile app

Anyone with United health care how long did it take for you to get approved? How long was the entire process from initially asking about the surgery to actually getting the sleeve done

Thank you

I have bad back pain and my knees give out on me....I don't have diabetes but it runs in my family

No I don't think so matt z

Fingers crossed my doc does the same miz60

I'm not a pushy person but I am prepared to switch doctors....the thing is this doctor has my history ive done HCG 4 times with no long term results I've tried weightwatchers,juicing.

I want to keep it private because I'm tired of people telling me it's just an easy way out of being fat when in reality it's a lifestyle change

Anyone here have a c section as well as VSG?Is the pain level comparable?

Thank you

Thanks you😊😉
