Fat Pat no more

I would love to help. Add me.

Wow you look great. O whole new you.

Good luck.

You look great.

Hoping for a October date waiting on insurance approval. This wait is hard.

Good work. Keep it up.

Thanks for sharing. This was is good to know for when I get my sleeve.

Great job.

LOL

I had severe pain for a full 8 and a half weeks post op! It's not typical' date=' but it does happen. (My surgery was a bit complicated because it was a revision from a messed up lapband.) But all of a sudden a few days ago, I could walk again (without pain)! So hang in there, it's only been 5 days. It may take a few weeks for you, or you could wake up in a day or two feeling good. If the pain keeps up long term, like mine did, I would advise you to get one of those abdominal binders for after a c-section--that thing made a world of difference for me! Good luck!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

Where do you get them.

Also there's the jealousy issue.

Way to go girl.

Oh btw I can't spell.

For years I said I would never have WLS. The a fried told me about a simanar

Anyway she told me about meeting. I went with her and now I'm having surgery and she's not.

Great Congrats!!! My Dr. Has me doing a 4 week Liquid Protein (Shakes & soups) diet. Are you doing anything similar?

I'm waiting foe insurance approval. I won't have to do any pre op liquid diet except for Clear Liquids day before.

I took it years ago. I didn't know I sleep eating till my sister got hurt in a wreck and had to sleep in a recliner. I stayed with her awhile she said I would get up make me something to eat then clean kitchen and go back to bed never turning on the lights. There was a night light in her kitchen. She just started telling me to put the food back and go to bed and I would. I never knew. Till later she told me why I couldn't loose wt.

I've only told one friend. She her husband and older daughters know. Others I might tell after it all said and done if they ask. I don't she where it's everyone's business. But I won't lie. Most everyone knows I've been dieting and exercising more and can see the difference. And I haven't even had my surgery yet.

Welcome it's a great site.

Pat- do u have a date yet? I am waiting on insurance approval.......

My paper work has gone to the pr advocate to send to insurance. Just have to try to wait till I hear from them. This is the hard part for me now.

I just met Dr Balder fir the first time 9/16/13. Im so glad that he opened a Hattiesburg office. I think I will be sleeved in November

He's my Dr too. I really like him as does my husband. Hope to have surgery in October. I'm waiting on insurance approval now.

Good job. Keep up the good work.

I was shopping in kohls today and decided to buy 2 shirts for myself. I bought a large from the misses dept thinking it would be small' date=' but fit in a month or two. Well, when i got home, I tried them on and they actually FIT!!! I was soooo excited! I can't remember the last time I bought something from the misses dept and not the plus size dept. anyway, I just felt the need to share my victory![/quote']
