Krystyneh

My surgery is August 3rd so I have 8 days left.

Welcome I'm scheduled for surgery Friday August 3rd so I have 8 days left. I have Vermont state health insurance. I started my weight loss journey back in Septemeber but went to my information seminar in November and I finally got to meet my surgeon in June. I got approved by my insurance 2 weeks ago. I on day 7 of my 14 day pre-op diet and as of yesterday I had already lost 9 pounds but I haven't weighed myself yet today lol. I had to do 6 months with a dietician. Each insurance is different because others have a set weight loss goal that u have to meet before they will approve u. Good luck on your weight loss journey

OMG!!!! Dr told me today that he hit an artery!!! No one told me this yesterday !! He said in over 10.000 patients he never saw anyone bleed like I did. That would have been nice to know. Smh!!!

OMG I hope he fixed it. I wonder if that's what's causing your dizziness

Welcome I'm set for surgery August 3rd. The people on here are awesome!!!

I just sent u a friend's request...I'm krystyneh on myfitnesspal

I just got a call from the drs office

I have a pre-surgery appoint on the 1st start the 14 day on the sixth and surgery either on the 20 or 21

YAY that's awesome I'm sooo happy for u

Finally got approved today all I have to do is fill out my paperwork and make an appointment for a consultation!!!! Then I am on my way to a new life!!

YAY congrats

Congrats

I am so happy an excited for you! I start my preop liquid diet on Sunday... Surgery will be Aug. 13th (as of now). Best wishes for your surgery!!

Thanks the pre-op diet definitely helps u lose weight before surgery but I'm able to eat 600-800 calories of food

Wishing u a speedy recovery I'm glad everything went well you look great

Started my pre-op diet Friday and since then I've lost 9 pounds I can't believe it lol I was 255 pounds on Friday and as of today I weigh 246 pounds I have 8 days left of the diet which means tomorrow I'll be exactly half way WOOHOO so I have 9 days until surgery

Going into a plus size store and not being able to even fit into the size they Carrie also having the other students with my daughter make fun of her and me because she has a fat mom (that's embarrassing and extremely hurtful)

Good luck today I hope you have a fast recovering

I'm currently on say 6 of my 14 day pre-op diet almost halfway there

Welcome I have surgery Friday August 3rd and I have PCOS and I'm praying that my PCOS gets better after surgery and that my fertility goes up

Welcome to the group I have surgery scheduled for next Friday August 3rd...I did have to attend a few classes and they definitely helped plus looking up as much as possible online helps too

Good luck!!! You will do awesome

Welcome to the group

I'll have to agree with you on this! I've tried about 13 different medications for anxiety and finally settled on zoloft. Been on it 2 years and like you, my life has changed!!

Did any of you have any burning in your head after just taking one pill? I have some burning in my head and my whole body felt cold. The burning comes and goes but it has me worried and I didn't take one today, I took an Ativan instead because my anxiety is high today because my husband is coming home for our 2 year wedding anniversary today

You are correct. You can take something like Ativan or Xanax with another anti anxiety.

Awesome!!! Thank u sooo much now I'm more relaxed lol I've calmed myself down but for future I know I'll be okay taking my Ativan

I had a LOT going on then. I was living in a bad place due to finances and then because of food poisoning my twins had to be delivered via emergency c section 2 months early. The were sent to children's hospital over an hour away & all I got to see of them before they were taken was a belly & a foot. I didn't get to see them for 3 days. Then @ 3 weeks old the twins developed NEC' date=' which is their intestines were dieing from infection. My son almost died and I couldn't hold him because it might have caused his intestines to rupture. They were in NICU for 2 months. It is by far the hardest thing I've gone through. The bypass should be easy compared to that. Anyway, the Zoloft just couldn't quite keep up with my stress level and then I got slammed with the worst case of post partum depression I've had (i have 5 kids). All this was at same time. I think anyone would crack under that.

Yes I think anyone would crack under that also lol I just don't want to feel like a walking zombie that's the thing then on top of that I'm afraid of if I do have a panic attack, if it's okay to take an Ativan while on Zoloft lol but my doctor wouldn't prescribe the 2 to me if it was unsafe right

You can do it!!!

I.was on Zoloft for 9 1/2 years but about a year ago it just stopped working for me. I know losing weight will.make the anxiety and depression a little easier to manage

Oh I hope it doesn't stop working for me I already feel a difference and I took it 2 hours ago

Are you excited?

Yes I'm extremely excited I can't wait!!!
