I don't get all the negativity I see here on this site.... ( Yes I quietly read a post a day or two ago that just stayed on my mind...) I kept strolling because I don't care to go back and forth with ppl it's not my style. I feel how I feel and I understand ppl will always have disagreements. But in the future if a person is doing good and post a before and after pic, don't put them down! If it's a Troll.... well it sucks to be them : ( Seriously how messed up must their life be to troll a WLS website!

I went to one appointment at the bariatrics center after referral from my PCP. At that appointment they submitted paperwork for an approval for the weight loss surgery. They put me on the books for next month and march for blood work, dietician, everything that they require etc.... everything I've read, people did their requirements first then the doctor/surgeon sent in the insurance request. So if insurance approves then what? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Clear liquids only since noon... heading to bed now... leaving for hospital in the morning to have my VSG... having no food today has my medication, at its normal dosage, making me feel quite loopy... I wonder if I'll have to talk to my doctor about adjusting the dose, especially while I can't eat more than clear liquids for several days? Anyone else experience this?

In Australia we can apply to pay for our operation with our superannuation money. This is a warning text for anyone tempted to use a company to do this...DON'T. I forked out $680.00 to a company who claim to speed up the process and know how to get Centrelink approval. They have no more pull with Centrelink than you do! they are also pushing the boundaries of fraudulent behaviour as they require you to hand over your MyGov passwords and login. They have cost me big dollars and I ended up doing all the negotiating with Centrelink myself. The Centrelink Early release of Superannuation team are excellent and will walk you through the process without you having to give…

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 8:00 am (24 hours from now!) I don't know what anyone else's day before surgery looks like, but this is mine: Protein sake at 7:30 and 10:30 I can't have anything but Clear liquids from lunchtime today until midnight... but NO solid food is allowed today so I will have my last shake at 12:00-12:30 this afternoon. After I shower normally tonight, I then have to shower with a special soap, which involves turning off the Water and rubbing the soap all over me for 5 minutes before I rinse, after which, no lotions, powders, deodorants, perfumes, etc. I have to get up at 4 am and do the shower thing a second time.

I just made the decision to have gastric sleeve surgery and have a seminar to attend in 2 weeks to kick off the process. This is the scariest thing I have ever done and keep trying to talk myself out of it. I am 50, have about 125-130 lbs to lose, and am in constant pain from being so big. I know I need to do this but how does everyone get past the fear of something going wrong? Thanks for any input/suggestions you have. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have my surgery scheduled for the 28th and I'm supposed to be on a pre-op diet for 2 weeks (liquids only). I couldn't stick with it and cheated a little yesterday and more today. I have no will power. Should I reconsider? If I can't do it now, how am I supposed to be successful after surgery? Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

I'm New. And I'm just sooo amazed by everyone's stories and different topic's. I'm so glad that I have found this! To make a long story short, I've been on the heavy side all my life. But this is the biggest I've ever been and I'm soooo over it. 330 pounds is my heaviest. I'm ready to loose this unwanted weight and keep it off and get healthy. I've been doing a lot of research on the Gastric Sleeve and I think that it is the best in my eyes. I have a close friend that had it done last year and she looks GREAT. I went to my seminar and filled out the application last week and I got a call Friday saying that my insurance would cover it and I knew they would because I work f…

Anyone on here going to any Drs in Ashland, Ky? I see Dr Tompkins and my last nutritional visit in September 9th.

Hey everyone, There's an article on MSN today about 2017 Winners: Half their size....It's basically before and after photos with a quick summary of how these people literally lost half their size in weight. and Idk why but while I was reading through it, I started getting really pissed off. They pretty much listed every popular 'diet' they mention this one did weight watchers and walked or that one did Jenny Craig and 30 min cardio oh she tried Atkins. NEWSFLASH!!! That's not typically the norm. These diets don't help people stay in shape and once in a very blue moon do these diet help people lose 100+ lbs. I've done weight watchers before and yes I've lost weight on …

Of course at 9:51am my first day on the pre op diet and all I can think about is, Shrimp and Broccoli w/ garlic sauce...... I promise you this is nothing but the DEVIL!!!! LOL I need a hug : )

My spouse is a dear, fully supporting me in my efforts to get healthy again. Here in MA it is about 20 degrees out. Biting cold. Well, I got a nice fire going on in the backyard and invited her to join me! No too cold she said. Ok so I'll enjoy it while you watch TV. I went in the house just now, she hugged me and said, "I should have come out, that was awfully nice of you." Awe, I truly love that girl. I went back out and she just called me in because she was making a nice supper for me. M mmmm! Potatoe Soup with bacon and onions. Bread sticks on the side!

This is long... but I really need to get it off my chest and see what you all think. My situation is this: I have a husband with a brain condition, an 8 year old son, and a 25 year old daughter (plus 5 grandsons all under the age of 10). I live in a rural area about an hour from the hospital where my surgery is supposed to happen on Wednesday. I have to check in at the hospital at 6:00 am that day... but my son needs to get on the school bus at 8:15 am that day. We have just one vehicle, and my husband doesn't drive much... but he is going to come with me Wednesday and stick around until I go to the OR... at which point he will come home and get updates by phone un…

I'm currently waiting on approval from my insurance company and have been following the diet given to me by my nutritionist. I've cut back on portions, getting more Protein and drinking more Water. I go walking 3 times a week and do exercises at home as well. I haven't lost a pound on my own. I started this 2 weeks ago. I bounce between 253 and 256 everyday. It's very discouraging and I'm afraid it will affect me being approved for surgery by my doctor. What else can I do? BTMOMOF3

Hey everyone, so I just got my surgery date. And I must admit I am very nervous and executed. Initially I had wanted to get the sleeve done but my surgeon insists that bypass is better for long term results. I am looking for long term results but the bypass procedure is a bit more invasive than the sleeve and that works my nerves. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone. I start my pre-op diet in two days and have had a horrible week food wise. It's like everything suddenly looks good and I feel ravenous and want to eat it all and in some cases I do. I've been doing so good and suddenly I'm falling into my old habits. I really want the sleeve to work and I want a new chance at life but I feel like I've already failed. Has anyone else gone through this? What has helped you stay the course? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good morning everyone. This morning I woke up that knowing next week today I will be on my way to the hospital and my life will change for better . Its been a journey thus far when I started it July 2016 at the seminar and now I have 7 days left . Im excited, anxious and a bit nervous but more so very much excited. Looking forward to hear the my cardiologist tell me I no longer need to take my HBP pills or no need to start you on diabetes medication but the highlight will be when I reach my goal weight of 155 lbs . Here is to soon I will be joining the losers bench. Have a great day everyone. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

Clear liquid starts today and im struggling! This is harder than I thought it would be. I only have to do this till tomorrow night at midnight. Its hard though! Especially when all you want to do is fill your belly with actual real food. So, any suggestions of other Clear liquids, other than just broth and Water? Has anyone ever tried the Wylers mix drink compared to Crystal light? Is there a difference? I couldnt find the Crystal light where I live. Any Suggestions, would help. Thanks!
