Hi and welcome!!! My surgery date is just a week before yours and I am giddy and anxious as well. The only nerves I really have about it is going under but that's just an thing of mine. It's more surreal like its not really happening but the closer I get the more real it becomes. I have a count...

You just have to do a search for bariatric support group. If you click on my ticker it should take you to the website to set it up. Ask your doctor or patient coordinator specifically what the requirements are for your insurance. They will nit pick it to death and you want all your ducks in a...

Mine is in 33 days. I am excited but nervous. My worst fear is going under. Its handing that control over to someone else.

I remember being super over weight in high school. It wasn't fun. Its not fun now! I wish you all of the best!!

Hi Myra. Just wanted to stop in to see how you're doing. I just read your story on the introduction thread

Welcome. Are you going through insurance or cash pay? Also there are some support groups on Facebook too.

Use the commercials to get up and walk around. They can't tempt you if you don't see them!!! I am super paranoid about leakage and busting a stitch that I will probably extend my soft food/puree stage by a week or 2. A big part of this is a life style change and a way to re-work your brain. The...

Yay congrats!!!

I am on Medicaid so I know the hoops you have to jump through. As is I am having to drive to Houston which is about an hour with no traffic. I am excited and nervous.

Exactly right skinny people don't get it.

I hate the bike because my butt falls asleep and hurts quick. I love going to the gym when I have time but with work school and an 8 month old its hard to find that time. Now I have been strapping him in the stroller and going for a walk

It really depends on your insurance. I had seminar, pre-op consultation, labs, 6 months of weight management with my PCP, a psych eval, cardiologist clearance, endoscopy. Then I will have another set of labs and a pre-op consultation that's on the 19th of this month and a 2 week full liquid...

I just wanted to check in on you to see how your first visit went

unjury also has an unflavored protein powder that you can slip into your purees and broth.

ditto ditto

lol mine is scheduled for dec 11th with pre-op scheduled 11/19 and liquid diet starting 11/27. Everyone said I should wait until jan but with all of the uncertainty surrounding obomacare no thanks

for me I kind of feel like I am going to jinx it you know. Like I tell everyone know and then something happens and boom no surgery.

My surgeon says to eat your protein first to make sure you are getting enough of that but yes it is perfectly normal.

My surgery is scheduled for dec 11th and I am terrified. Its a big change. I remember feeling like this earlier this year when I was having to drive to the hospital for my csection.

I know exactly how you feel. There are a few people at work that know and my parents and a very few select friends. I know that everyone would be supportive; however, its my judgment of myself and feeling like I am cheating that is stopping me from shouting it from the rooftops.
