    Hi Cheyenne, thats a good idea. I'll give them until Wednesday. I have to weigh in on that day. If I don't hear from them by then, I will call. Thanks.

    Still no word on my surgery date

    I'm so frustrated. It's going on the third week and I haven't heard anything from the Nurse who is supposed to contact me about the date I get my surgery. I guess this is a hurry up and wait thing. I've done everything I've been asked to do. I've seen two psychiatrists. Mine and the one for the...

    The pain... Omg...

    Hi Debbie S, sounds like you're doing better. Pretty soon you'll be able to drink different things and even get into puréeing different foods. I looked on Amazon.com. They have a couple of ID Medic Alert Bracelets you can get. I think the best one was $29.99. That is the one I would like to get...

    The pain... Omg...

    Hi Debbie S, I'm so sorry you were in so much pain. Wow they had to do a lot. How are you feeling now? I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. i had to go for an EKG before I find out my surgery date. Now I have to wait for the results of that then get my surgery date. The nurse said it...

    Surgery is in 2 DAYS!

    Dear Debbie S. You're a very brave person to be cooking meals while not being able to eat them yourself. I totally applaud you. You're awesome. Keep up the great work. The surgery will be over before you know it. I guess between you and I, we both have real determination to get this weight off...

    I had my Psychiatric evaluation on May 1, 2015. It went very well. I will know in about two weeks the date of my surgery. I am so excited. Nervous but excited. This is what I have worked and am working so hard for. Waiting to hear from the Person who makes the surgery dates. Whoooo hoooo!!!!

    Thanks Debbie S, I wish I could say who it was who was not supporting me but I feel really bad saying it. It is someone extra close to me though. I was very shocked when she told me she wouldn't support me. She told me she wouldn't support me because she didn't think I would continue dieting...

    Hi everybody, well tomorrow, May 1, 2015 I weigh in and get my Psychiatric evaluation. I'm really nervous. My biggest problem right now is I'm so bloated and I'm afraid I won't lose the few pounds I need to lose before tomorrow. I'm hoping I get a surgery date tomorrow. I won't if I'm not at my...

    Hi Debbie S, congrats being off of 2 meds. That's awesome. Not focusing on losing pounds is really hard when that's what we have been doing for all of these months. It's scary to see any weight come back on, at least for me because I have worked soooooo hard to get where I'm at as I'm sure...

    I need some support HELP!!!

    Hi sips or naw, I'm not a professional about this by any means but I watched the you tube video on the sips procedure. My opinion is that the sips procedure is too new and not enough is known about it. I think Gastric Bypass is probably the best way to go myself but that is just my opinion...

    Hi Cheyenne, thank you for telling me that. I really needed that reassurance. That's awesome. My husband and Daughter said they want to have a bonfire and burn my chair, lol. They hate it so much, lol. Even if I have to use crutches later on that's better than a wheelchair. I'm so happy about...

    Well, I did it. I weighed in on April 20th. I'm excited to say I went below my goal weight of 345. I weighed in at 342. I came home and called my Bariatrics Office and I have an appt for the Psychiatric evaluation on May 1, 2015. I'm so close to getting my surgery. I'm nervous and excited at the...

    Hi dancinbr, thank you for reminding me its for me. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing it for everyone else. I get comments like, oh I'm sick and tired of having to deal with this wheelchair and I wish you wouldn't use this wheelchair all of the time, etc. I'm trying to get out of my wheelchair...

    Hi Cheyenne, thank you for your input. That really helped me a lot. Maybe they will change their minds and maybe they won't. Either way, I'm having the surgery and they can't change that. I'm doing it for me. I'm sure you're right. It will probably take me having the surgery for them to realize...

    Hi !

    Hi Alicia, welcome. My name is Nisey. I am new to this myself. I am supposed to weigh in on Monday, April 20, to see if I can get my Psychatric Evaluation. Then, hopefully I'll find out a surgery day. From what the doctors office told me, they will weigh me, do the evaluation then put me on a...
