@ BenisaMartim4 ((((HUGS))) So sorry you have to wait until February. Please keep talking with us December Divas. You will be our honorary member!. I will meet you on the loser's bench in February.

My highest weight was 314. I am now 291. I wear size 24 bottoms, 3x tops, 24/26. I haven't set an actual goal weight. When I was in my twenties I got down to 145 but my body had to fight to stay there. I was more comfotrtable at 160. I will probably set my weight at 165. I start a 2 week liquid diet on Nov. 28. Anyone doing a 2 weeker?

Hi My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 13, at the Hurley Bariatric Center in Flint, Michigan. I begin a 2 week pre-op liquid diet on Nov. 28. I am so excited to finally get a date. It has been a long drawn out process. :tongue2:

I won't but, my surgery date is the same. I will be in Michigan!

Thanks MimiMermaid! I use a candle warmer at work for my coffee and tea. I will definately get one for home. Tahnsk for the well wishes on my journey!

HI, I am having my sleeve done Dec., 12. I am so excited! I want to make sure that I have a smooth trasition coming home from the hospital and over the holidays. What helped you the most the first 4 weeks. What should I so to prepare and have my home ready before surgery. WHat are some things you found invaluable? Thanks, Roxy

That happend to me too. If you can contact WW and get records, you are in business,. If not, just start with a physican...my program with my doctor is very laxed. She has to record what I tried and what we talked about. I am in month 3. It is going by quickly.. Good luck.

Hi I am in the process of being approved for surgery. I have to do 4 more months of supervised diet/wl before insurance will approve me. That will put me in to Novemeber/December for surgery. I am an elementary teacher. I was wondering if it is conceivable to have surgery on Christmas break and return to school in Januarhy. (approx 15 days). Thanks so much, Roxy

I am waiting surgery. My NUT and doctor said that food tastes change afer surgery. Have any of you experienced this?

Have you checked out Hurley Bariatrirc Center in Flint? I have not had my surgery yet, but am in the process. People from all over Michigan are there. One thing that I learned with BCBS PPO is that you are going to need 6 consecutive months of supervised diet. This bit me in the butt as I a only had 5! Good Luck

My surgeon requires us to by a pre/post diet kit from him that runs $325. This is stated upfront so that it doesn't come as a shock later. It is supposed to cover a 2 week pre and 2 week post diet.

My TMJ always acts up when I am stressed. I think it is because I chew a lot of gum during stressful times. Two things that help me are my bite splint that I had made at my dental office and my chiropractor. And of course...less gum. Good Luck!
