I had one guy's dad (who came with him for "support") tell me that I didn't belong there and that I could just lose the weight myself. Don't worry about it, you have to do for you. I was most definitely qualified to be there, and it was the best decision I could have made for myself. I know it's easy to say something like...I know I'm overweight, but he/she is REALLY overweight, but the truth is, we're all there for a reason. Some of us have just had our epiphany and are coming to it a little sooner than others. I knew I wasn't losing...I knew I didn't want to end up on a scooter, or diabetic, or having knees and hips replaced. I looked at my parents and looked at myself and made the decision to save my life.

Its just "recycled"

Stop after 20 min. This should help! This is one of the rules that also helps with Portion Control.< /p>

It's been almost 3 months since surgery!! I had my 3 month follow up on Friday - I'm 47 pounds down and 12.5 inches off my waist and 7 off hips. I'm happy about it. It's so weird!!!
Hope everyone is doing well. I'm going to try and read some posts as I have been MIA-

Hi all! I was sleeved today at 2pm!!!! I just wanted to post and say thank you to everyone on this site that shares. I know this is such a personal issue..... But I can't say enough how helpful and what a comfort it has been to come into this with do much knowledge. Even the nurse has commented on how much I seem to know and be aware of. I contribute so much of that to this site!!
I am soooo excited to be on this side!!!!!

That's great and after all that, the best part is only one day of liquid diet preop. We should all be so lucky!

I just spoke with my surgeon coordinator and I was approved! My date is December 20th. That's not even the best part.... I only have to do a ONE DAY liquid diet. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY|!
In all seriousness, this has been so long and so fast at the same time. I started back in 2011 with employer insurance that I had at that time and ended up leaving that job. Started over with the job I have now doing the same hoops that BCBS has you jump through:
6 month supervised diet
2 year history of obesity
Nutrition consult
Psych evaluation
Waiting patiently or not so patiently in my case (I called BCBS everyday, It only took a week mind you)
And now.... I will be sleeved on DECEMBER 20th!
Thank you to all of you who have shared. And to those of you just beginning, hang in there... it only gets better!

Good luck,
your hoops are very similar to what I had to go through as well. Also no liquid diet except the day before surgery. My Dr. said it would just "piss me off" any way (his words).

Congrats and best of luck to you!!!

Good luck.

Best of luck to you, I'm sure you'll do great!! Congrats on the date of the 'new you'!!

My surgery is 12/20/12...I need some buddies! Anyone interested?

I hope u can stop obsessing over getting any complications. The probability of having a complication is really slim so sit back and follow ur docs directions and enjoy ur journey. Enjoy the moments u notice u have lost a pant size in one day. This is truly a miracle.

I drop it... and can't get back up!

Stop drop and roll... hahahahaaaaaa.... and I'm never gonna loose my curves... I just wanna loose the smack flap
