Well' date=' I had my surgery on the 25th and 9 days later I was ready to attack my husband. My surgeon basically told me if I feel good enough, go for it. But, deff use birth control!!![/quote']

Well my only thing is my husband is an over the road truck driver so knowing my luck I'll be ready when he's not home lol

My Dr said when I ready to go for it. 2 Weeks and I was there.

I heard that most people feel ready 2 weeks out

I waited a little before a wk! Jut make sure to use protection... Iam on nuvarig an still use a condom!

Well we will be using condoms lol I was on nuvaring but had to stop it due to severe abdominal pains due to it. I have to wait until a month after surgery before I can go on the pill

I waited like 3 weeks... but that was me. I would check with your doctor.

Okay thanks

I have surgery scheduled for Friday August 3rd WOOHOO but I have a question and I know my husband is going to ask me lol my husband is an over the road truck driver and I see him 2-3 times a month. How long do u have to wait after surgery before having sex? I'm sorry if it's a TMI question but no one ever asks or talks about it. Thanks Everyone

Good luck let us know how it went

Good luck my surgery is August 3rd

Wow that is awsome! I too did the portion cut and started heavy on the Protein shakes! I have only lost a few pounds but I am starting to see some muscle!

Congrats on the date!!

Thanks I'm excited and nervous and anxious lol I know that when surgery day is here I'll be emotional lol but a good emotional

Good luck I have surgery August 3rd

Congrats!! How did you use all the weight prior? I want to lose some before surgery...

I cut out all soda and started portioning my food and more exercise. I went from 315 to 290 just from cutting out all soda lol I've notice my stomach doesn't hold much anymore but it definitely wont hold as much after surgery lol just keep ur mind to losin weight and you can do it

I think that is so great! You have been waiting some time and making wonderful progress which is a good indication that you will be successful in taking off the rest and keeping it all off. Preparation is so worth it!! I am now in the prep phase also...all tests completed...just waiting for date.

Thanks I've been trying my hardest lol I hope you find out your date soon my husband is going to be shocked with my weight loss because he's an over the road truck driver and I only see him 2-3 times a month so he's definitely going to notice the weight loss after surgery

oh no doesn't she understand that you're smaller now?

So I found out today that my insurance approved me for gastric bypass and that my surgery is scheduled for Friday August 3rd WOOHOO I go for my pre-op diet class this friday which is my dad's birthday then Friday July 20th I start my pre-op diet which isn't all liquid. I'm now down to 257 pounds I weighed 315 pounds back in September/October time. I'm excited and nervous. I do suffer panic attacks so I hope those will get better also with weight loss.

Okay so I'm a little frustrated right now. Friday I had scheduled my surgery date for July 18th but then the woman called me back and told me that the woman in charge of getting approval from insurances emailed her to tell her that they need to cancel my surgery date because I have VT Medicaid and it could take 1 week to 1 1/2 months to get approval and they don't want to have to reschedule my surgery at the last minute if they still hadn't gotten approval. Once she gets the approval from my insurance company I have to schedule my surgery date again. Anyone with state insurance, how long did it take before you were approved?

You're in my thoughts and prayers

Wow that's a great Pc I can't wait until I have some of those pics I can't wait until I have surgery

I am having some pain. I took my percocet pill a couple hrs ago. I took my vitamens and.drank my 4oz of carnation. I am so full...any ideas when when to take your.vitamins etc

They gave u pain pills? I haven't had surgery yet. I should be finding out on Thursday when I meet with my surgeon but where I'm going they give u a prescription for liquid pain medication because they said u aren't supposed to swallow anything bigger then a baby aspirin for the first month of surgery and all Vitamins u have to cut. Huh I guess each place is different. I'm glad ur surgery went good

Does anyone know how long it takes for state health insurance to approve gastric bypass surgery? I go for my second 2 hour long pre-op appointment and I meet my surgeon. Now they are either going to schedule my surgery then get approval from my insurance or get approval from my insurance then schedule my surgery date. I have Vermont state health insurance and they said it could take awhile. Anyone know?

It will get better I'm 25 and I'm trying to stay on track so I can keep up with my 4 year old daughter and 10 year old step daughter and my husband. I have cheated a few times also. I find out Thursday when my surgery is and they said I should have surgery by August 1st hopefully. Just keep reminding yourself why you are doing this. Also what I have found has helped me and post pictures of yourself at your heaviest all around your house especially in the kitchen. I did that and when I want ice cream or cake I see those pictures and I automatically get nauseas and grab a piece of fruit. It'll get better once your surgery date gets closer keep your head up

Welcome I'm also going for RNY I should be finding out Thursday June 14th when my surgery is

Wow that is awesome!!! I should be finding out on Thursday when my surgery is keep up the great work

The program that I'm going through does have a support group but it takes 2-2 1/2 hours to drive there one way. I'm trying to find one closer to my house but I'm just thankful for this group. Reading everyone's stories and hearing about their surgery and what they have gone through has helped calm my nerves a little bit except for this whole drainage tube thing lol I hope that I don't need one but if I do then I do. I'm excited that I only have 6 days left until I meet my surgeon I'm hoping I find out then when my surgery date is

Yess! I need a couple support buddies myself. my surgery date was 5-29-12

Oh I'll be supporting u also how did your surgery go? Did u have tubes afterwards or no? I'm nervous about if I'm going to have tubes coming out of me or not lol

Oh I know how it is to be nervous and excited I'm so happy u have ur surgery date and keep me updated I'd love to know your progress throughout ur journey I should know a week from today when my surgery is hopefully

I haven't had the surgery yet. Diabetes is my main reason, although PCOS is a factor as well. My cycle is so out of whack. I want to be regular and have a child or two.

Thankfully I'm not diabetic yet BUT because of the PCOS I am insulin resistant plus Diabetes runs on both sides of my family. I'm trying to hold off becoming diabetic but my husband and I do want at least 1 more and I've had 5 miscarriages...2 miscarriages last year which I had my first one exactly a year ago today :'( Do you have your surgery date set yet? hopefully next thursday they will set my surgery date
