I can not believe what I am reading. If I say I am gonna pray for someone I am not projecting my religion. I am simply saying I will ask my God to look over you. If you don't believe that's all well and good. But it never hurts to have someone thinking about you.

Bcbs, but I found out that they had submitted it twice I am approved having surgery the 16th of April

Had surgery last Tuesday and was over 300lbs. Went home on Thursday and have had no painkillers, pain or issues healing since then. Best decision I've made after marrying my hubby and be prepared for a day or so of feeling bad but IT WILL IMPROVE. good luck Sent from my HTC One M9 using BariatricPal mobile app

Nice to meet u Leanne. I was sleeved on the 4 th of April . So far it's going well I think, I'm on puréed food til my next docs appointment. How are u doing and what sort of vitamins r u taking. My main struggle is with getting iron in as the tablets here that I crush m take taste like blood, and the syrup alternative also makes me vomit 😰

I will be there too! I'm pretty excited! Are you flying to San Diego? Have you booked your flights yet?

In response to the question of why my lap band failed after 10 years, I have to say I do not know. It was never effective and i was able to cheat. but I had a bad time with it. I would vomit and wretch for hours at times when I over ate. And recently, the cheating foods did not pass through. The surgeon thought there may be some narrowing from all the vomiting. We could not find any slippage. I elected to have the band removed and sleeve done. It was the best decision. No more hunger. No vomiting no wretching and down 30 lbs.

I finally made it under 200!! It's been 10 years since I've seen a 1 in the front of my weight. Never thought I would be there again. So thankful I decided to go through the surgery. My HW was 247.4 I lost 10 before surgery which was on 1/31/17. So I am currently down a total of 48lbs!!

I have surgery on Monday 4/24. Good luck!!!

I just started my pre-op diet today for 10 days. I'm praying I can make it through this part.
