For the first time in years I'm not hosting thanksgiving at my house so I think that'll help me not eat as much. I'd love someone to go through this with. Had a nightmare about the surgery last night.. I went under and woke up amd said I want McDonald's... but I couldn't have it.. I know that's what's going to happen.. but it seemed like the end of the world in my dream.. creepiness...

I have had some weird dreams too. One day I woke up sooo mad at myself.. I can remember it was about the surgery and food but no idea what haooened but I was in a terrible mood that morning! I hatr that this has to be around ths holidays and not for me but my husband and well mainky daughter I know she is only 1 and will never remember but I want to be healthy to Celebrate christmas with her so I hope im at least moving around well by then

Honestly Ive thought about for years but never truly looked into it thinking my insurance would never pay for it and a friend I went to high school had the surgery and I saw her progress online. I asked her what she was doing and told me gastic bypass and highly recommended her surgeon whom she also works for. And that was late may/ early june and was hapoy to find out its covered!

A close friend of mine had it done recently. I tried to talk her out od it xause my aunt had the open done 10 yrs back and got so sick. It was horrible. But when I went to see my friend the morning after she got it done she was up walking around.. perfectly fine... so I looked into it hardcore and was also relieved to find out it was covered. My pcp signed the medical necessity form yesterday... gyn sent her clearencet in.. I'm stoked
