It looks good!!! Where do you get this drink from? Thank you... I got it at my Kroger and trees there were different flavors! I know Think Thin has a website, if you can't find it 50 year old me!! Thank you so much for the advice.

A nurse friend of mine told me that even chewing gum causes the digestive fluids in your stomach to digest the food that is in there. Then you get hungry faster. It made sense to me. I rarely ever chew gum. Just sayin...

Awwww. I can understand. I'm just beginning. I go to my Seminar on Feb. 1st. I'll probably be a basket case when the time comes. I will keep you in my prayers. God will protect you. Please keep us updated hun. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I have been reading posts on this site for a while. The posts are so educating. I have learned A LOT about the Gastric Sleeve, the surgery, the diet, problems and successes, you name it. This forum is so encouraging because I know where to go if I have problems. You all are so kind. I want to be like you all. I am going to my Seminar on Feb. 1st, so I have a way to go before surgery. I'm just trying to get my ducks in a row and get the ball rolling. My insurance will cover the surgery (not all of it of course). United Health Care requires a 6 month documented diet. I was on a 1500 calorie diet last summer for 4 months and I lost 17 pounds. I couldn't do it any more, I was starving. This was from 5/5/16-9/16/16. I started another diet {Low Carb} in October for 3 months. I lost 19 pounds total. I even made it through Thanksgiving and lost weight. This diet was from 10/10/16-1/4/17. My doctor knew about these diets because she told me about the 1500 calorie diet. I went to see her during the diets and she noticed on my chart that I had lost weight. I don't know if she wrote them down or not but, I did. Do you think this would pass for my 6 month documented diet for insurance? Does the insurance send her a form to fill out for me, do they send it to me to give to her, how does she get it? I want to mention these diets to her to see what she thinks. Thank you all so much for your friendship... Chris

Beautiful! Beautiful pictures as well. I admire you. God Bless. {{{Hugs}}}

GOOD for you sweetie. You go! Congratulations to your sister.

Thank you so much. Just hoping that will work. If not...Oh well.

I hope everything goes GREAT for you. You will be in my prayers. I go to my Seminar Feb. 1st. I can barely wait to get my surgery. Please keep us informed.

Good Luck and God Bless! I hope your journey is a great one. I can barely wait to get mine started. I go to my Seminar Feb. 1, 2017. I am sooo excited. Keep us informed please... Chris

I have United Health Care Insurance. I called them to make sure the Gastric Sleeve is in our policy and it is! Yea!!! My question is, does anyone have this insurance? Does anyone know if they require anything before surgery, like 6 months dieting...etc... My seminar is Feb 1st. Thank you

Thank you for your help! I hope my UHC doesn't require 6 months of dieting. I've dieted most of my life already. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Hi, I am sooo new because I haven't even been to my seminar yet. It is scheduled for Feb. 1, 2017. I have been reading some of your posts on here and they are so encouraging. You all really lift each other up. I know I am going to need all of the support I can get. I called our insurance and surgery for the gastric sleeve is covered!!! My name is Chris, female, I am 62 years old, I weigh 300 lbs and am 5'2" tall. I live in Indiana. We have 3 grown children, 11 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. Our kids have been busy. LOL Initially I was going to get the Lap Band Surgery. I had an appointment with my family doctor Monday. She questioned me about getting the Gastric Sleeve instead of the Lap Band. I asked her why. She told me all about patients of hers that had the Lap Band done and was NOT happy with it at all. They didn't lose the weight they thought they were going to lose, some had problems with it, some were getting the band removed and going for the Gastric Sleeve. So, I did some research on the Gastric Sleeve vs the Lap Band. I am pretty sure the Sleeve is the way to go for me. I am already nervous and ready to get the ball rolling. How long does it take from the seminar to getting surgery? I am anxious and scared. Probably just like a lot of you all were. I will keep checking in with you all. Thank you in advance for any and all of your advice and support. God Bless!

Congratulations!!! You look amazing! Keep up the good work hun. I go to my Seminar on Feb. 1, I am excited to get going. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You look amazing! Going to my seminar on Feb. 1, 2017. I can barely wait to get the ball rolling. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations!!!

I hope this doesn't sound too dumb. I was wondering what happens to the staples they use in surgery? Do they just dissolve, fall out or stay there? That kinda concerns me. Anyone ever ask that?

That is what made me question the staples. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. I have already watched a video on YouTube about the surgery. Yes, it was definately interesting to see the cutter/stapler in action. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all for answering my question. I already have titanium in my neck so no problem. I figured there had to be a way for them not to come lose and be floating around in your body. LOL I was really concerned about it though. Thank you all for your help.
