betterme38 275 Posted November 24, 2015 So today my hubby n I went to my initial consult 1st official visit!! So excited and ready to do this. I have to start taking my blood pressure meds again cause with them being prescribed n me not taking them it makes me look non compliant so to speak which isn't good. I have my 1st NUT class the 22nd of Dec and my Psyc eval earlier that same day. All in all it was a good day, they did say for me not to gain that I don't have to lose bit try n definitely not gain. Anyway, excited to get this started, 6 months n 6 classes left I think lol. Oh n I have to do a support group also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sophie74656 1,572 Posted November 24, 2015 good luck to you on this journey!! are you doing sleeve or bypass. I had the sleeve, feel free to ask me any questions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betterme38 275 Posted November 24, 2015 Sleeve is what I'm gonna do, I don't wanna be on all them vitamins/meds for life. The sleeve just seems like the best option for me. How long ago did you have this done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mania 128 Posted November 24, 2015 Even with the sleeve you are going to be on Vitamins for the rest of your life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 24, 2015 Sleeve is what I'm gonna do, I don't wanna be on all them vitamins/meds for life. The sleeve just seems like the best option for me. How long ago did you have this done? Please continue to research. Even with the sleeve you need Vitamins for life. Routine bloodwork is key to monitoring your nutritional levels.

betterme38 275 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) @ and @@BLERDgirl, Yes, that was my fault as they did ask me if I took a Multivitamin already. Was excited and yes I have more research to do. Thank you both for pointing that out to me. Edited November 24, 2015 by betterme38 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
