Thanks peeps

Morning! All I feel like I do anymore is go to doctr appointments. Today at 12 is my mmpi test and 1 is my psych eval. Then today at 3 I have my egd. Tomorrow is my behavioral class. Tuesday NUT apt. the plus side after Tuesday they will submit to BCBS . Woot. Fingers crossed. Happy Friday everyone

Thanks

Ok cool. Thanks all. That's eases my mind a bit. I am taking the MMPI first and then meeting with the dr.

I have my psych eval tomorrow and I'm freaking out. Well not really but i got butterflies just thinking about it. I've never met with one before. I also just learned today that my two hr apt is really only a one he with the dr and one a test. What kinda of questions are on the test? Any insight will be great. (I can't do a search from my phone right now. I apologize as I'm sure this has been asked many a time before). Thanks

i think its because of all the ads running on it...it sucks. if i didnt love all the info i would stop coming here but i'mmmmm addicted

Ha awesome. I have partially filled mine out but won't put up pics yet. Your all strangers . I will eventually. Maybe after my surgery and I loose a little bit.

Not yet sure when my surgery will be but I am on day 3 of no Coke. It's killing me lol. I figured I had to do it early so that it's not a problem later. I did the weaning thing as well. I only had one or two a day before but weaned myself down and now none. I miss them so.

Good luck!

Good luck everyone! Here's to a perfect surgery and a speedy recovery.

Congrats lady! That's so exciting

joisey, glad all went well!

AuroraB: i think it depends on your doctor and your comorbidities/symptoms. i am getting sent because i have heartburn/reflux. because the sleeve can cause reflux he wants to get a good look in there and make sure there is no damage to the lining of my esophagus and stomach. mine is also checking for haital hernia and if i do have it he will repair it will i get the sleeve done.

Joisey01 how did it go? i have mine on the 21st at 430pm.

interesting post! i had a c-section on 3/14/10 and i had no pain. i am not even exaggerating. i was up walking around the day after, was released a day early from the hospital and then was driving by the next weekend. i hope the vsg holds up to that . i always heard terrible stories of c-sections and when i had to get one last minute with my daughter, aside from being scared of what was wrong with my baby but i was also afraid of what the c-section recovery would be like. good luck to all of you!

woohoo! congrats

I have been contemplating wls for some time now and was always going to do rny. Partial because i only knew of rny and lapband. I wasn't truly fond with either but knew I neded help. But then back in July I leaned of the sleeve. For me I feel this is the better option. Mainly do to the fact that my intestinal tract is not being screwed with and there are no malabsorption issues. Those two were big for me. Whatever you choose Is a big deal and I think you just need to do your research, pros and cons of each, talk to your gp and surgeon and make the best decision for you! I also like that there are less restriction later down the road with the sleeve.

Thanks . I was surprised. Not because I thought I had it but bc the pulse ox thing I had to do the weekend before they said was consistent with apnea which was why I was sent for the study.

Had my sleep study on 9/7. The sleep tech said that she believed I did show signs of it but that of course a dr would review it and get back to me. Heard from the pulmanologist today and I did have a few episodes but not enough to qualify me as sleep apnea. He is sure that it will get better after the surgery. I'm just so excited that I don't have it .

i personally was never told that but i have read it on this site before that people have been given cards for exactly that reason.

yes! i am just disgusted with myself as of late. i can't pinpoint why i feel this way and before i didnt but i feel the same way.

this post is fantastic. thanks for posting i'm not a guy but definitely can't wait for skinny sex and to have some drive back. i am so disgusted with myself now that i just dont want to do anything....

woohoo! congrats!

congrats! thats so exciting!
