I just hope my lord blesses me with the approval of this surgery I'm 230 my highest weight was 2 weeks ago 242 and I was so depress I felt like dyeing I starved my self this couple of days and went down 12 pounds in 1 week and 3 days. I'm pretty sure I will gain them back as soon as I eat something again but that's how my body always been I never been able to maintain a healthy weight. I have high blood pressure and get so fatigue when I walk its so embarrassing to me. It's been my dream to lose weight I've tried so many things but always gain the weight back. Looking for support in this surgery my fiancé is sick and tired of me talking about the surgery he does not like the idea. He says I might get some other guy. Omg how would I do such thing. Anyways I will keep you guys inform if I get approved. Omg please lady's pray for me and this approval if not I don't now wat I'm gonna do living with this depressing body....

Fiusha, I don't know why your insurance won't tell you! I pray for all of you waiting for approval. That was one of my big fears, along with denial, but I was REALLY blessed and mine approved while my Drs office was on they phone with them submitting my info!

Your story is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too similar to mine. At my highest weight I was 242 and now 230.. if I lose 5 more pounds I'm in trouble. Disqualify, :P

Praying for hunn... good vibes. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
