Finding Myself 146 Posted May 24, 2012 I think the reason they ask these questions is to get a history of your obesity. I didn't remember what I weighed but I was a skinny kid. I got fat in my twenties. Do the best you can, they will help you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thinmymind 107 Posted May 24, 2012 Thank you, Finding Myself. That was my thought. I would just put - healthy weight in those spaces until I could answer with an actual number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJsharon 119 Posted May 24, 2012 Omar responded to my email and sent the questionnaire. Some things are hard to answer - does anyone know what they weighed when they started school? (Age 5-6). I don't even know my teacher's name! How one earth do I answer that? I wasn't ever conscious of a scale until college. I left a couple of answers blank if I could not answer them. I just tried to answer as many as I could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put "unknown - above average" for some of the responses. I remember when I started noticing I was heavier than other kids in about 3rd grade. I also remember my first grade pictures were a normal weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks.[/quote'] Everything went well. My biggest issue thus far has been sinus pressure. Very little gas and pain. I stopped taking the ant nausea and pain meds yesterday bc they were setting me back. Going stir crazy now. Waiting for Dr Kelly to come do discharge papers then going for the leak test about noon. The staff at the hospital are all very sweet. There is a language barrier with some but we have managed. A smile is a universal language and it puts both you and the nurses at ease. The one thing that was a life saver for me that I have not seen anyone else post was a cool washcloth over my face. Some if the medicines were making me have hot flashes. You will do great!

NJsharon 119 Posted May 25, 2012 Sherlee, yay, so glad you are doing so well! That is great you are being discharged today & the leak test isn't that bad either. I didn't think it tasted that bad really (not something I would drink every day, but not bad). Enjoy the hotel! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
