To Tell or Not to Tell?
Nean4488 replied to 2beskinny's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I told my mom. She told my brother, brothers gf, aunt, grandpa and grandma and then my grandma blabbed it last night to my uncle. I am ok with that because they will notice the way I am eating changes and that I am losing weight, I just wish I didn't have to hear the negative comments from them beforehand. I havent told my dad yet and I really dont have a reason for that, guess I am just scared to tell him. I also have told my best friends because even though they are friends, i still dont want to be judged if the weight doesnt come off as quickly as they are expecting it too. I start a new job a week after surgery so im just hoping they think im just losing weight once they see it happening. I feel that once I am 50 pounds shy of my goal weight I will tell people that I am close with how I did it, but until then I am going to keep it as private as I can -
I was worried about this too! One of my insurances requirements was that I have a 5-year over weight history. I asked my surgeons office if I needed to get proof and she told me no. I was still approved. If i was you, I would keep on them about it!

The 27 pounds is from when I started my 3 month diet! I have lost 11 pounds in 1 week tho on my pre-op diet! I wish I didnt gain 6 pounds during my last week of "last meal syndrome" I would be down 6 more pounds!

4th of July Challenge!
Nean4488 replied to LeighaMason's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I get banded on the 17th but I still am focusing on losing as much weight as possible. Count me in for 20! -
I used care-credit too for the 20% that my insurance wouldnt cover.

OMG ill die if they put a catheter in me! -
Ya same here... im so looking forward to the mushies! lol

Oh yikes! What a bad time to start... but like you said just stick with the things you are allowed and you should be fine. Might be a little bitchy.... but you will get threw it! What does your pre-op diet consist of?
-
The liquid diet isnt so bad! The first day sucked and Im more tired then usual, but I love to sleep anyways, so I use it as an excuse lol The only day im having a problem with it is today. My family is having a BBQ for mothers day and im kinda down in the dumps that I cant go eat. I keep telling myself a piece of chicken and little bit of salad cant ruin it too much, but I have oppted out of the BBQ and just had over there after dinner is threw.

Nean4488 replied to Tally23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told that I needed to lose during my supervised visit or I would be denied... every insurance is different though. What does a normal day of food look like? Maybe we could help if we knew what you were eating. Also, are you working out? -
I had my last meal syndrome for about 3-4 days and gained 6 pounds! I was so mad at myself! I started my pre-op diet this past monday which consists of only liquids, Protein shakes, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, broth, low fat creamed Soups, and I am allowed to sometimes add some fruit, natural Peanut Butter, or nuts in my foods. I am suppose to stay under 50g of carbs and 800 cals. It hasnt been as bad as I thought, the first day was horrible! But now its just a part of my daily routine. I think tomorrow will be my real test! Going to a BBQ with family for Mothers Day. The good thing abut this diet that I have lost 11 pounds in 5 days!

Haha ! Im just nervous about the pain, Im such a baby when it comes to pain, I thought i was dying when I got my wisdom teeth pulled. lol
-
I suggest you go threw someone that accepts insurance, its nuts if you pay for no reason!

This was about 4 months ago that I couldnt find them, and then I went to jewel the other day and looked again, no luck! We have dominicks which is part of safeway, maybe I will check there! If they are selling them, they cant be recalled anymore.

I started my pre-op the same day for the 17th surgery. I am in shock how easy the pre-op diet is too! I have read such horror stories about it and i feel like I am doing something wrong! I have lost 10 pounds since monday and thats nuts! Hoping to lose another 10 by surgery day!

I've heard good things about Dr. Shayani. I work in bolingbrook, not a fan of the town so that put a sour taste in my mouth lol. Im getting banded by Dr. Watkins in oakbrook the 17th. Im so excited and nervous at the same time!
