i cant use the chat cause i do this through my phone :/ maybe we could do a mass email thing ya know. like just start a convo thru email. also if anyone wants to text let me know. im always texting. plus im pretty confined to my house til i feel better. so talking to someone helps pass the time

[Skinnyminded 21]

Me to!!! Got the ok! Just waiting on the insurance ..

[LosingItForMe2011 320]

I just got an ok from the therapist. Next step is the nutritionist but, I don't see her until May 15th. I've lost 9 pounds so far....11 more to go to meet the surgeon's requirements.

Ughhhh. I dont know what to do!! People say the band doesn't work! Im scared to do the bypass. I don't want to have regrets or get really sick.. its irreversible .. what about the sleeve?

[rdh1727 2]

I'm in the same boat you are Jennifer.. Would never do the band or the sleeve.. Just trying not to think of the surgery part.. Think of the end results!!

jennifer - when i got the band 3 yrs ago i did it cuz i was afraid of gastric bypass. now ive done the bypass....trust me u should go with the bypass! ive had wayy better results u wont get sick. dont worry.

Did you have any complications with the bypass? How much did you lose? How long ago was it?

[law8486 40]

i got the bypass a month ago today. i have lost 35lbs so far i got pneumonia which decided to stick around for a few weeks. but i dont regret it at all. i wish i did bypass to begin with but i was too big of a baby lol. do it. u wont regret it. and my incisions healed beautifully i sometimes forget i have them lol.

I got the therapist approval during my 4/25 visit...now I need the nutritionists approval on 5/15. Don't think I've lost much more weight though ;(

I've got a question-- why would the nutritionist or therapist not give an OKAY?? I mean, when I went in 2008 they just asked a lot of questions and said ok, you are a candidate! I don't recall it being something that could prevent me from moving forward :\
