woke up at 4:30 to spend some time with the love before he left for surgery. And, never went back to bed. Instead, W4D1 of C25K was done, the dogs were taken on a mile walk. And, then got ready for work. I win

4th of July - WHAT WILL YOU WEIGH???
MRSKOUBiK replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My weight loss has been slowing down recently. I believe I know why... but, just in case it's just starting to be slow, I'm not going to shot for AS high as number as the Easter challenge... (35 lbs , which I lost 32 of!) I can always up it if need be! MRSKOUBiK..............317........220.......195.......25 WHEW! Did I really type that number? with just THAT much space between it? I can't remember EVER EVER being that tiny. -
Easter Sunday - WHAT WILL YOU WEIGH???
MRSKOUBiK replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Congratulations to all who made their goal. I was 3 pound short!! But, that's okay because in the beginning I set a REALLY high goal of losing 35 lbs before Easter. I'm glad that I came as close as I did. -
I don't think they really look at the weight loss. I think they just want to make sure you're staying consistent. My advice: Make sure when you go to submit your paperwork, you have EVERYTHING. Food journal, weigh in's supervised a doctor, all the necessary tests they required, a letter of necessity. They're pretty good with approving IF you have all your ducks lined up. But, if in the case you get denied... keep calling, find out what you're missing. I was denied at first, and was HEARTBROKEN. I called and asked what all they needed. I got all that stuff.... And, was quickly approved. No appeal needed GOOD LUCK

Support? where is it?
MRSKOUBiK replied to Valentina's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not really, everyone chooses their option for their own reason. I never even looked into the RNY because I didn't like malabsorption concerns. I didn't want the re-routing. And, I was worried about re-gain. A lot of people think the sleeve is a new new procedure, when in reality it's new as being a standalone procedure. It was done in the past as a stepping ground for patients who were too big to have the DS (I think, my brain is off on lala land this morning!) They would do the sleeve, once the patient lost enough weight, they'd go back in and do the other part. But, the found it had enough success as a standalone procedure. I wish you luck on figuring out which you want -
Congratulations! Good luck.

Just look at the label and see if it is okay to YOU. Everyone has a different set of rules they follow. Just be careful with the sugar alcohols like mentioned!
