I spoke to my doctor about in the future wanting to have more kids and they said that it would not be a problem at all. They suggest waiting 12-18 months post-op to conceive so that i give myself time to heal. Any pregnancy stories post-op? I would love to know that it is going to be safe...i am only 23yrs old and i am no way near done having lil ones. I do trust my doctor after all he is a TopDoc for bariatric surgery but i want to hear success stories to ease my anxiety about it.

Hi nice to meet you Bmarion! I was beggining to wonder if anyone on here was from TX...so how far away are you from surgery? I just got my date thid past tues!

Hey everyone! My first appt was in March and i just got my surgery date fir Aug 15th! Hang in there it will all be worth it! I guess no insurance company is alike nor are the doctors... I noticed a lot of differences in insurance request just by reading all these post. I too had to go through all the testing and what not and a 3month diet with my nut but i made it! My doctor is Dr Wade Barker of Dallas,TX... Has anyone on here used him? He is a TopDoc of Dallas/Ft.Worth area

I hear that a lot from people but my doctors office only requires the all liquid diet one week before surgery idk why that is but I am glad that it isnt longer then that...and yes very true. Good luck to you! Keep us updated!

I just got my surgery date today for Aug. 15th!!! I am so excited! I start my all liquid diet Aug. 8th (I am so dreading it) :/ Any suggestions to get through my two weeks of all clear liquid diet?

I had my psych eval back in May and i too was completely honest about everything. Although im not too much of a binge eater i have very low self esteem(due to my weight gain). I suffered physical and mental abuse very quite some time from my partner and i yet to get over it not to mention other things in my past. Needless to say she diagnosed me with severe anxiety and depression that very day and after about 5 days of seeing her she called me with my results and said that my depression and anxiety was of the charts and that im so depressed i dont even realize how bad it is. She told me that she realizes it is my past and that she would go ahead and give me the ok for surgery bit wants me to see a psych at the very least once a wk. Dont get discourged because i did and look at me, as of this past Sunday i have been approved for my surgery!!! Greatest news i have received since '07 when i found out i was pregnant... I wish you the very best and remember not to stress on the small things it will all fall in place. Good luck tk you and keep us updated!
