Edy's fruit bars sugar free are so good

Well im 23 yrs old 5'8 251lbs bmi 38 i have obstructive sleep apnea I go to st. Lukes theyve done thousands of surgeries. With dr teixeira hes the head of the bariatric dept. He teaches other bariatric surgeons in other contries how to perform minimally imbasive bariatric surgery surgery. When i spoke to him he said patients come to him from other docs to get complications fixed and hes had no leaks so far. U can watch him perform a gatric bypass on the internet google julio texeira bariatric surgery. Ive been doin this since feb but i had stop bc of personal reasons. But i estimate it to 6 months top to do everything . I saw the nutritionist the first day along with blood and ekg. Most test are done st the hospital. Yea pcp gave me a referal and then i made an apt but u pick ur doc.this was wat i did. The group meating are good if ur thinkin i think u should go to one. If its cuz of metroplus they cover it n if u have wat they need theyll approve. U kno some docs dont show their faces on internet or u cant find them those r the once i dont want.

Im 5'8 and im 251 lbs and im in the process of getting approved for vsg. Even though im in the 38 bmi i have obstructive sleep apnea which is not good. I dont want to die at 23. Ive also tryed to loose it with diets but comes back and then some. Im tierd of being tierd and achy. Its true it is a life change and is better early because my life will be easier withought 100 pounds.

Metroplus in an insurence comp in ny

Yea i called they said if ur surgeon says no then no. They dont ask for 6 months. I have my 2nd visit n hope to get my date then. I had to ask my pcp for referal then make a first appt. They expained the 3 procedures and i picked the sleeve. Then they gave me a list of things i needed to do (tests) ekg abdominal sobogram ugi phyc and a support letter thats all i did it all already. Then theyll sumit to metroplus

I cant wait not to have to struggle to tie my sneakers, to not have to hold my breath and jump to put on jeans, to not have to always pull down my shirts.

Damn the days seems so long. I cant wait for that day to b tomorrow. I got my secound appt on sept 6 and yes i will get my surgery date. But the wait is sooooooo looooonnnggggg. The lady that sckedules say end of nov beggining of dec. i mean as long as i can start 2013 on a new foot great. Who else is in this waiting room with me..

As long as u do ur part of setting up appt they are good but they have long wait though. I went mid agust and asked up to where they were up to annd she said beggining november so either im mid or end of nov

Where n in wat hospitals oh n insurance companies guys pls Im with metroplus medicade im in nyc and my surgeon is in st lukes

Congrat on the loss and good luck today. I hope everything goes great n u have a good recovery.

I am also lookin n im going to start a video journal bc i got inspired bc of youtube videos. Once i get a date i will start that. Ill put a threat once i post. Cant wait for the liquid diet( wierd rite)

Well i had my ugi done and it wasnt as bad as i have heard. U cant eat or drink the night before. When they start they make u drink something similar to alka seltzer and they tell u not to burp. Then u have to gulp down a white paste-like substance ( tastes like chalk). Then they put u in diff positions and make u hold ur breath. The final thing is an esophagus x- ray. U lay on ur belly and they make u drink a waterier white liquid (tastes like Water banana milk shake no sugar) and u have to chug it down. Nice Breakfast rite? Amazingly im not hungry after that. Wat was urs like?

Lmao. Ur so funny but i understand wat u sayin. But think about it this way, ull maybe have a cateder n they hurt if they are pulled n stuff. And the iv u wont be able to change ur clothes. Once they remove all that i too am going to change bc the gown makes people feel and look sicker. Wat i hate the most is them waking u up at all hours

I feel your pain. On the 6 i have my secound appt with the surgeon n it seems so far away. And the worst part is i think they have a long wait for the surgery. I just want it to be tomorrow

I read that for weight loss paitients its better to have ur gallbladdr removed during the surgery because eventually u will have stones and they might have to operate again. I had mys removed and i can say it hurts so much. If i had the choice i would have had the gb and the vsg done at the same time.

I cant wait not to have to hoold my breath when im walking down the street. I cant wait not to look away when i think a guy is handsome I cant wait not to be affraid to take an empty seat in the train bc of not fittin I cant wait not watch other shop because theres no sizes for me I cant wait not to squeaze into a 16 and be a 6

Thats the most annoying one

Hey i feel u. Every time i look at my boys all i can think about is them not becoming fat like me. Im also making a change for them. I dont want them to go throw redicule in school and the remarks about their fat mom. Not only dat but medical issues too. My boys r 1 and 2 and love me as i am but i dont want to set this example. I want them to see their mamy healthy and able to play and not get tierd or mess up her bak or have her knees hurt. I want to c my grand kids and not die of a heart attack cuz im FAT

Yes yes wear heals i would love that

No atleast not mys i think. They to busy anyways lol but good luck to u 2

So i called the insurance and ask to speak with a supervisor regarding 6 month weighing and guess wat! I dont have to do the 6 months. Im so happy! So sept 6 is my next appt i cant wait. I hope they give me a surgery date. Bur one problem i live in mahattan and i cant seem to find a psyc that has an appt by then pls Helpppp!!!

Cant wait to wear something nice to sleep instead of a big ass shirt. I cant wait to dress my age. Cant wait for my stomach not to hang over my jeans. And always look like a rice sack wearing a belt. I cant wait to say " damn i look good in that dress" I cant wait for people to not judge me by my appearence but by my brains and heart

Ive had a diff surgery all i have to say is ull be asleep before u kno it and awake before u dream. It feels like a blink. A lil painful after and the no water thing kills. Dont struggle with the anestisia relax and let it wear off after the surgery. Gas is a killer so walk. Good luck.

Thas why i dont shop in stores anymore. Miss that . Online u find nice things plus size. But we should be able to normally shop after 6 months of post op.
