I hope to be a Feb sleever. I see my surgeon on Tuesday to get a surgery date

The leg pain could be from doing too much on the treadmill if you are just starting out using it. I know when I push myself too hard on the treadmill my shins ache. Try going slower or sometimes I speed up then slow down during my walk. Hope it's nothing serious. Way to go with the weight loss!

Wow! That's fantastic! I hope that's me in a month or two. I should be getting my surgery date this tuesday.

I love to drink crystal light, but I only drink it half strength because it tastes too sweet to me.....try using less crystal light. For instance I put a 2 quart packet into a gallon of water...sometimes I think that even tastes too sweet so I dilute it some more. As for lemon in my water. I LOVE lemon and I use to drink lemon water all day everyday for six months. I went to the dentist and got my first cavities ever! I went from NO cavities to 6 cavities. So no more lemon water for me...lol

Unjury makes an unflavored protein powder and they have a chicken broth also. I bought them in preparation for my surgery. I had to show the nutritionist what I would be taking after surgery. I go on Tuesday for my appointment with the surgeon. I should get a surgery date then! It's starting to feel real

I've been working towards surgery since August! It's a six month journey to get final approval and a referral to see the surgeon. I've finally arrived at the stage to meet with the surgeon, which is scheduled for Tuesday. Hopefully I will get WLS date then. In some respects it's been a long process, but in other's it seems like the 6 months went by quickly....of course it could be because of my age...the older I get the quicker time seems to fly by

Wow, that's great! I can't wait til I have surgery. On Tuesday, I go to see the surgeon and I should be getting a date then also.

Congrats! I just found out I got my referral to see the WLS surgeon! I can't wait to make my appointment and get the surgical process going!

I had my last nutritionist appointment Jan 3rd. Then, with Kaiser, the nutritionist submits my information to the committee for final approval/referral to the WLS surgeon. Yesterday, I checked with Kaiser and saw I had an appointment "pending" with the surgeon and when I checked today, it said authorized! Yayyy, I've put a reminder on my phone to call tomorrow morning to make my appointment with the surgeon! I see the light at the end of the tunnel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I'm going towards it....can't wait til I come out of the tunnel and onto the loser's bench!

Yaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks ladies! It never hit me that it could mean "women". I just thought it was "wide" like in shoes....lol Well hopefully I'll here from Kaiser soon about my WLS then hopefully I won't be "wide" anymore

I was talking to a friend about clothes sizes since I've managed to go down 1.5 sizes in the last 6 months (still waiting for final approval for WLS from Kaiser). I thought the "W" in sizing stood for "wide". My friend thinks it stands for "womens". Whose right?

hey, that's great! I think the main thing is your moving. I haven't had surgery yet, but my pedometer has become my faithful sidekick. I aim for 10,000 steps or more per day......then when I saw the NUT she said 12,000.

Sorry, I haven't be sleeved yet, but do suffer from depression. I would suggest you go and talk to a doctor to see about adjusting your meds and to talk to a therapist. Hope you feel better real soon.

Great Info. I noticed Kaiser wasn't on the list. Kaiser requires a 6 month program with the Nutritionist/Weight Loss Surgery classes.

Thanks AngelEyesInNJ. I actually saw that post. I was still wondering if many actually wear these medical bracelets/tags or is it kept in a drawer somewhere hoping to be worn I've also read that people have worn them and they were overlooked by the medics. Is it because they tend to look like jewelry as oppose to the "classic" medical id bracelets?

Thanks. I wondered what should be written on them

Congrats!

I haven't been sleeved yet, but I am wondering how many of you have actually gotten the id bracelet or tag and what did you put on it? Thanks

Hope everything goes well for you and wishing you a speedy recovery! Sorry I don't know anything about the magnesium citrate.

Congrats! I hope to get approved this month and get a Feb date....keep your fingers crossed for me

Wow! Congrats!

thanks...I have Kaiser............................ the Losers Bench seems so far awwwaaaaaaaaaaaaay

I have finally finished with my 6 months with the nutritionist. She will send my info to the committee for approval which she told me could take up to a month because of the holiday season. Once approved, I will have a referral to contact the surgeon. I hope the approval comes soon!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
