Thats so exciting...I hope all works out for you!!!

I have had 2 upper GI, the 1st one I had the worst experience ever I was awake I felt everything they did the whole thing rough I told myself I'd never do it again well 4 years later mu surgeon said I had to do another one I was in tears but honestly the 2nd one I was completely out, I don't know what that have me but it worked wonders! I was woosy after but I'm glad it's over!

Went to my last appointment I hope! Today went in everything went smooth! Now they sent my paperwork to my insurance to try and get approved again after coming back in June that I needed 6 months, they said I should be good and that they are scheduling SURGERYS in beginning of October! So excited! Gonna be leaving my job in September and after surgery in moving down to PA!! eek

So i was suppose to get my surgery date june 18th but my insurance came back and said i need six months of consecative visits, which mad me very mad and upset but then got a call and said i only need at least 2-3 more visits and i should be fine! So i went in july 31st and ended up gaining 4lbs last time i seen the surgeon, my fault so i have until August 27th to lose that 4lbs plus more! i am still in that 5% range tho, but what i want from you is ur recipes of ur favorite healthy food u like! I need new food to try!! If u can help me thatd be great!!!

eek thanks!!!! so excited!

Me and my husband want to get tattoos,but he said we should wait becasue if i get a tattoo now it will look horrable after surgery...i just wanna know what you guys think.. and im planning on getting the tattoo on my inside forarm. which is mostly muscle..need input!

Today I went for my check up and I can officially say that I meet with the sergeon June 18th!!! And ill get my date!!! It's coming to reality and im soo excited but also getting so nervous!!!! I'm so ready to be sleeved!!!

It's Been awhile since ive been here. Been really busy.When i started the process i was working for fast food, i knew that if im gonna go through with this surgury i need to find something else so i did, I now work at a Casino! i love it and ur constantly moving which is a plus, but i went to my second hospital i only lost 2 lbs in like a month...BAD! but she told me if i lose about another 5 lbs i can meet the surgeon, which as of today i lost 6-7...i go June 7th..im nervous and scared at the same time, all my test are done which i found out i got sleep apnea,but im so ready to get my DATE!! ready for change!

today i went for my blood work, tomarrows my sleep study test then the 26th is when i go for my psych evaluation....getting closer to meeting with my surgeon!!!

really..she just gave me a shopping list. not like a specified meal plan

Can you have protein shakes in Phase 1? im just wondering cause i bought some so i can try if im gonna be on them for a long time...and if i am when should i take them?

Aww that is wonderful.it does make you feel a million bucks when someone else says ur beautiful. Thats all we need.but i hope it lifted ur spirits now and to stay positive!!

Good Luck...hope everything goes great!!!

How do u make pizza without the crust...that sounds very yummy and interesting

So i started my phase 1 yesturday and let me tell u..its gonna be tuff. i went shopping saturday and i feel like i barly got anything...and that im gonna be eating the same thing everyday! And im confused on what to make for lunch today..i just gotta find my routine..i guess. I made my 2nd appt. with the hospital today...which is March 28th.. thats something good to look forward too. well i guess i should go and do some strength excercise

Thanks So much, Yea im doing a lot of research. It takes time.... guess you just pray for the best.

So as of today i was going to get the Lapband...Today was my first clinical visit at the hospital and we were talking and decided the lapband probally wasnt the best bet for me...so she decided the sleeve was starting to get popular and there is a faster weight loss compared to the Lapband..which i want. So I guess im kinda new..i did all my infomation on the lapband now have to learn this surgury...

Thanks so much

Today was my 1st clinic appt with the hopital..it went really well. Got to go back in 4 weeks. just need a sleep Study and blood work and go for my phych evalutation then im Medical cleared for surgery.. the only thing is the nurse and talked and felt that the lapband was not for me so im gonna get the Vertical Sleeve. I just want to know if I'm still allowed to be here even though im not getting the actually lapband done?

Good Luck!! Hope everything goes great!!!
