amberakamom replied to Renee1003's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm done with all my testing. Just waiting for them to call me to let me know insurance has approved! I was excited to learn that my surgeons office provides all the protein powder and vitamins. -
That's awesome! Great job!
-
Protein shakes- UGH!!!

I love Unjury, especially the chocolate splendor flavor. -
I haven't had any problems with Tricare either. =)

Awesome!!!

What percentage of your excess weight have you lost?
-
That sucks. I'm sure you look amazing.

If you are 2 Years + post-op....

So I guess the "average of 50% of excess weight patients" don't visit this forum. lol -
Anyone having trouble "seeing" themselves thin?
amberakamom replied to Pamalamadingdong's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I was 18 I weighed 115 (I'm 5' 7"), so I know how I'll look alllllll the way down. lol My goal is 159. I am 33 now, so it's been a while since I was a normal weight. It'll be fun! -

i GET BANDED ON DEC 16TH !!!
amberakamom replied to Eveandlauren23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Exciting! Congrats! -
So the rest of my testing is scheduled for thusday, the 16th. Just hope they don't make me start the pre-op diet on Christmas or something! Lol
-
Well I didn't get to finish my testing on Thursday. I guess my insurance approved an endoscopy rather than an upper GI, so they called and canceled. So, I continue to wait.........

To tell or not to tell...
amberakamom replied to Swan56's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'd tell him about it AFTER surgery. -
The website is fine, but I like the old blog format WAY better. My custom pages are gone now. Congrats on the weight loss!
-
From what I understand, it is before you have restriction and you are starving because you are sticking to the Dr's diet.
-
HUGS! I hope you are feeling better now!
-
Sounds like you are doing great!
-
So that's done. The "apparatus" wasn't comfy but it was much better than I thought it would be. It came off once during the night and the thing woke me up and told me to put it back on. Pretty cool I thought. Much better than having to go to a sleep clinic but I was glad when it was time to take it off. I did have a dream that Sally Jesse Raphael was my therapist. Hopefully it didn't pick up on that. lmao All in all, a painless experience.

I think what you are doing is fine. If you are following your docs instructions, I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck!
-
On Thursday I have the last of my testing. Upper GI, Lab work, and Nutritionist. It's going to suck not being able to even drink water until after the Upper GI! It's an hour and 15 minute drive. blah! I will be so glad to be done with everything though! Tonight is my home sleep study. I get to wear one of these lol. I will let you know how it goes.
