sometimes, you need to be selfish! ppl have a misconception that being selfish is a bad thing. its not! we need to be selfish and take care of our selves! youre investing into your future, your marriage & your kids lives!

what insurance do u have?

yay! congrats

yeah when i had my gall bladder surgery, it sat on my incision. 2yrs later, that incision still itches!!! a good sports bra fixes that issue though! i dont want a boob lift because of the scar & because i have a tattoo on my boobs but if it gets bad, ill be getting implants & a lift! BELIEVE THAT! lol. they do have a slight sag to them but not bad. my nipples still face up & not down at my feet. lol.

first i want to say welcome! congrats on getting through your 6months and getting your surgery date! you are well on your way to becoming a new person! someone healthy, happy, & the best mom to your kids grandma to your grandson and future grandkids! this will be your final battle of weight loss! im happy you found us!! my story, im 23. 5months into my 6 month supervised diet. im praying to be sleeved on dec 20th. i meet with my surgeon on nov 30th!

oh wait.. i have one more huge fear!!!!! LOSING MY BOOBS!!!! i have REALLY big boobs and i love them. as a kid, i prayed for them! lol. thing is, ive lost 80lbs before through dieting & my boobs WENT NO WHERE so is it possible that i wont lose them? ima DDD. i should be an E but its hard to find E bras. i dont mind going into a DD or MAYBE even a D but a C? yikes! i havent been a C since elementry school. lol. i mean, if worse comes to worse, i guess id rather lose them than stay fat but :'( i dont want to! i know someone who was big breasted & she had the sleeve and now shes as flat as a pancake! granted, she mightve only had boobs because she was fat & she had 2kids. i think mine are naturally big & they were always a DDD/E whether i was a size 6 or 18! and i have no kids. lol yikes!

i believe im magic now! lol. im praying to be sleeved on dec 20th! youre an inspiration to us all. keep up the good work!

i meant how much in a pack, im sorry lol. but i googled it so i know. thanks!

how many servings does it bring?

thanks so much

im LOVING everyones response and i could have not said it better myself.

what id EAS ADVANTEDGE?

youre welcome my dear!

well, i was told that the hospital has experienced 3leaks. there is 2 surgeons in that office so im not sure which dr it was but EVERYONE looks at my dr like hes a LEGEND!!!! so im dying to meet this superstar! lol. i meet him nov 30th. yikes!! im afraid of not waking up but thats anytime ppl get put under! ill just pray! i know this wont be my last surgery so im ok! im TERRIFIED of not making it home for christmas. i will even ask my dr to send me home & i just wont drink or eat anything if i have a leak & ill come back the day after christmas or after all my family leaves that night (wishful thinking). lol. i just dont want to miss my family & dont want my mom to be depressed without me! i think im going to be just find tho. i dont see myself having a bad experience. i think im going to be one of the lucky ones (((HUGS)))

from the TONS of research ive done, ive read that all the pain is gas & hunger feelings are gas as well. walking relieves the gas. when laying in bed, put pillows under you to keep your upoer body slightly elevated. this should help with the gas a little. whenever you feel pain, get up and walk. even if its to the bathroom & back. u may feel nausea because of the meds & because u r no longer taking in as many carbs! ur body is using fat for energy instead of carbs! i pray u get better soon!

well put sis<3

thank you for posting this. when im sleeved, im going to attempt to keep moving and walking. i def want a nice recovery!

congrats! im praying to be sleeved on dec 20th!!

so ive read everything & i can honestly say that i am still excited. maybe a little nervous? but excited! i have a friend who i call my sleeve sister. she had the surgery oct 18th & with the same dr and same hospital. thankfully, i have no hospital worries. im not worried about pain because i know every up has a down! i know the pain wont last forever and ive had my gall bladder removed. i think this will hurt a little more but my gall bladder removal wasnt THAT BAD! i think i milked as much attention as i could get from my nurses & loved ones!! i mean hey, who doesnt like being catered to? lol. so after seeing my sleeve sister, im not really worried! my biggest fears are: 1. not waking up. 2. complications. 3. not making it home for christmas (i am HOPEFULLY getting sleeved on dec 20th). 4. too much extra skin (after losing the weight) so i think im ready! so my surgeon can bring on the pain....... WITH THE MORPHINE plz! LOL!!!

chipped teeth? oh hell no!

thank you!! i sure hope so. i went today for my 5th month appt and they said my insurance is good at giving answers but that they ask for "everything" so im like ahhhhhhhh lol. i just pray that all is submitted & good enough to be approved!

yay! congrats & god bless. stay in touch <3

yayyy! congrats! im so happy for u. i hope to get such a quick response. maybe even quicker? haha! i have no patience. ill be praying my butt off until i do get it! my 6th month appt is dec 1st & want to be sleeved either the 19th or 20th! im going to start my preop diet on nov 28th which is the monday following thanksgiving.

oh wow! i would be devestated if they made me wait a month! yikes! what do u think went wrong?

thanks love! do you have a 6 month process as well? i just feel like its RIGHT around the corner. im so excited but nervous about everything. im not scared of the pain at all but im scared of the lifestyle change.
