Are you unable to find someone to spend the night and stay with the kids and get them to school or let the kids take a holiday from school while the hubby gets you checked in?

Quickly go to the doctor to check your blood preasure I am sure it is through the roof right now. Have them log it so it will show a comorbity

Last weigh in for me will be Dec 6 then submit. Getting scared strted with BMI of exactly 40 so we will see how it goes as I have lost 18 pounds as of now.

Thank you. I firmly believe that my I am doing this for me and my sister and that she will hold my hand through it all.

Sorry please know that my sister was only 42 and had three beautiful children that have lost their mother due to obesity. And my mother that mourns for her still today and everyday wishing that she could have forced her to have the surgery

You know this saddens me deaply that family is not on board with the decision. My sister passed away 3 years ago due to obesity she weighed 450lbs. I begged her to get the surgery and I offered to pay for it since she did not have medical insurance. I wished someone had forced her to have the surgery in my opinion she should have been considered suicidel and forced to have it. I will be having the surgery in Jan I started at 216 and ready to do this no one will be making the decision for me not even my husband. I refuse to get to the pint my sister was at 450 lungs filling with fluid, heart enlarged to the size of a football, liver enlarged, splean enarged, blood pressure through the roof sitting in the hospital on life support for weeks. Morbid obesity is a dreadful horrifying disease.

So far 18 and have my final weigh in for the 6 month monitored Dec 6.

Mommyx5 who is your surgeon I am in Mansfield and I am using Dr. Harrison, hopeful to be sleeved in Jan

Congratulations you are definately on your way to a brave new world..You are doing awesome can't wait for my turn

Mansfield/Arlington

I am 5'1 and started at 216 at 198 now still pre-op hoping for surgery in Jan. Last weigh in with the PCP Dec 4th.

Its called getting sexy back.... Yeah for you!!!

This surgery is a bit drastic to lose 35 lbs. Have you tried HCG. You can lose 25 to 30 lbs in 4 weeks.

Unmodified Collagen can not be absorbed. Hydrolized collegen can be and it is very benificial to the connective tissues

Odd that the NUTs don't want Callogen Protein as it benifits hair skin joint and osteoarthritus and rhumatoid arthritis

Has both proteins in it. Both Hydrolized Whey and callogen

Anyone try these? 2.5 oz shots with 28 grams of protein. Low in surar and carbs. Saw them at walgreens by the energy shots.

January is a good time. Bring in the new year and be able to keep that resolutuion. All the holiday eating is done and you will neet out of pocket all in Jan meaning insurance should pay 100 percent of all medical for the remainder of the year for all the follow ups. Lots of upside to Jan.

I wonder how long it takes to schedule the surgery once approved. I will be submitting the first week of DEC wondering the same thing if they will push to next year the thing is though if there are compications or follow up appointments they will be covered al year next year as you will meet the out of pocket

Sorry for the typos on my blackberry

JWaller Not sure why either I would change Dr. Dessertmom: I think it is to make sure you are capaple of making the effort for the first 6 months post op and be dedicated to being diciplied during the critical months. I have not stuck to the 1200 everyday. I have however given my best effort

6 month diet is for thje insurance company requirements to ensure you are a good canidate for the surgery. Jwaller that type of diet is what I will have two weeks preop not for the 6 months monitored

I had a 1200 calorie diet and exercise. I ate progresso soup a lot. Eggs for breakfast soup or meat for lunch and salad with beef or chicken for dinner. Taco meat is a lifesavor.

Completed my 5th month today.Have lost 16 pounds and have been stuck losing and gaining the same two or three pounds over the last month. One more to go.. Ready to be done

Maybe your guardian angel was hovering helping you to heal..
