Ok thanks for the heads up. I'll be having the sleeve surgery this coming Monday July 1... Looking forward to losing all my weight and getting healthy again

Congrats on the journey ! I was wondering how is your mobility ? How hard to bend over and put on socks or get in and out of a car ?

Thanks, I guess I'll have some mashed cauliflower instead..lol Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi there, I'm also having a VSG done July 1. I'm filled with anticipation and anxiety at the same time. I can't wait to be done with the Cpap. High BP, bad knees and overall feeling like crap.. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Sorry this is a weird question but it takes a lot of muscle to get out of my big and tall recliner now. I was just wondering if that will be dangerous post-op ? What precautions should I take ? Has anyone else been through this ? Thanks,

It's worth looking into.. but not sure if anything that big is avail.. I'm 6'3" and almost 500lbs..

I tried the Genepro and as everyone said I cannot taste it which is great. The only issue is , that I use lukewarm water in a coffee mug about halfway and stir in the Genepro with a fork and it completly dissolves. Then I mix in more water and stir in Chicken bouillon powder and microwave it to heat everything up.. After a couple minutes sitting the protein powder starts to clump up a little.. Is this normal ? Thanks

Thanks, I'll try that one !

I have really crappy insurance and I've finally reached a point where I need to do something ... and fast ..I't affecting my driving, etc... How much on average does it cost out of pocket ? I will have to finance it for sure .. But I want to get surgery ASAP, Thanks

Thank you, I'll check it out next week Also, congrats on your weight loss .. I know it's a struggle .. good luck

Wow, that's crazy expensive .. I was checking google just now and they say avg price is about 24k$ I guess I'll have to check around and see.. or wait like everyone else... Thanks for the information

I'm in Dallas .. Where did you have it done ? That's a really good price

Congratulations ! To EVERYONE ! Stay with the plan and the weight will come off ! I even went on vacation for 3 weeks, drank a bunch of rum and lost 10 lbs ! but then I was very active also and did watch my food quality and quantity ... but I told the Doc it HAD to be the RUM ! :cursing:

That works for me

Way to go Jack ! I enjoy reading your posts !

I lost about 50 lbs before I notices a major difference... starting at near 470.. but have got 104 gone now .. here is a before and now shot... give me another year and I'll be where I want to be...

Im still here too .. I'm at 100 lbs now !

WOW, Congrats ! Way to go ! I'll be there soon too !

good luck everyone !

Cheryl Ann, the same thing happened to me .. about the 50 lbs mark ... but then I have to lose a total of 200 lbs ! so being big and tall .. it took a while for people to notice.. so I took photos every month.. and in those photos you can definately SEE the difference .. also.. take your measurements... you will see yourself losing many inches ... and you will be going down in dress sizes.. etc... it wont' be long and people will notice... and when they do.... you will feel even more invigorated to keep on track ... good luck !
