    New to Group, need help!

    At first I felt the same way. I didn't tell anyone who wasn't on the 'need to know' list. NOW I'm telling complete strangers. I'm telling whoever can hear me. I'm so happy and excited that I've just gone giddy. Also I am a little terrified and so I am a little whacky. I don't know why I'm doing...

    LOL. If I was on that plane with you I would've govern you 20 bucks to say that to her. Then you and I would've probably been taken down by the Air Marshal and spent rest of the day in quarantine explaining "it's just a joke"..... Ok I'm probably watching too much TV and a little wacky only 2...

    OMG! Gina what an amazing story. I'm so proud of you and grateful to that couple who had your back. They are definitely people to count as friends worth keeping. Another boohoo/woohoo moment. Heartbroken and over joyed for you. Thank you for telling this story to us all.

    Packing for hospital

    That hospital is fabulous Cheyenne, like a celebrity hospital. What's the name and location of that hospital? I don't know about the hospital I'll be in UC Davis in Sacramento. Anyone ever been or know of someone who has been to this hospital? I know I like them a lot better than Kaiser for...

    Packing for hospital

    I was wondering if pants would be ok cuz of the incisions. I wish I was getting the one above the belly button that I read about. My surgeon said that there would be 3-5 tiny incisions on the left and right sides I believe. I took the class almost 6 months ago and these details escape me. I'm...

    Getting Frusterated

    I want to wear those jeans too, when at a size 12. We're those European sizes or US? I didn't see sizes under size 20. It sucks to be 62 on the outside, but 25 on the inside particularly when it comes to fashion.

    Getting Frusterated

    Sounds like you are having a boohoo-woohoo moment on many levels; lost weight/woohoo, nothing fits/boohoo. Is this an oxymoron?

    Skin?

    In the Bariatric Orientation seminar that I had at UC Davis Bariatric Dept. both the Bariatric and plastic surgeons said that most insurance companies will take cover the cost of plastic surgery for the "belly flap" and for breast reductions for health reasons, sweat and rashes and other things...

I'm having the sleeve and my Nut wants a clear liquids while in the hospital, then protein based liquids for 2weeks, puréed weeks 3&4, then soft chopped for 2 weeks, then by week 7 I can start introducing regular food one at a time...
