  3. My was abnormal I got sent to a a specialist I had to wear a heart monitor for 2days stress Test and ultra sound of my heart every thing came out fine I just have PVcs like palpitations in my heart but a healthy heart can have that as well they might run more tests that's might delay you alittle but it's worth it
  4. I see the surgeon on dec 6 to sumit and talk about a few things I was just wonder was it your choice about the Rny I kno you'll do great and yes do please visit I bounced back many of times to educate myself so good luck
  5. Off topic but lovealways I remember u once talking about getting the Rny what happen w that I believe I seen you on that support group did u change your mind I'm curious cause it getting close to me getting sleeve
  6. My cost $225 like others stated we talk about my life kids how did I hear about this surgery how was I educating my self about it who will help me we talk about how does my husband feel about it cause he said that if u having problems in your marriage like control issue u will soon be divorce cause ppl will look and give u more attention after wards he wanted to make sure that I was aware of risk and diet after and complications that I wasn't going into it blind then I had to do like 500 Q and it ask the same things but in a different way to kinda see my thinking process failing is not always bad he said its no such thing that just want to sort out all the issue first so they are there to help and if you going in nervous Start out by saying your nervous that way they will do there best to make u more comfortable but I pass and it wasn't kinda nice to have someone to talk to about wanting to have the sleeve not a very interesting convo for some of the world

  15. That's what I'm worried about .. I've heard of some who's counted but I guess I just have to call and found out .. That sucks
  16. Some companies don't except WW and that such as a stand alone weightloss program if I was u I would go see a pcp and let them record your weight in the doctors notes because you going to need a pcp anyways to write your letter of medically necessity ... If you don't allready have a pcp this will give the doc time to kno you for when he writes his letter ..I also was told by my coordinator and pcp that I could lose wieght on the program even though my Bmi is 43 that it won't affect the insurance company but this still in the air ..good luck I'm on my fifth month of supervised diet and I lose 15 pounds five more to goal ...
  17. How much weightloss u had with the first sleeve
  18. I seen that video .. Very inspirational
