Yes it is great to have someone to talk too as you count down the days...I am having my surgery at Maimonides Hospital in NY...Best of look to you. My last pre-op evaluation is on January 7th I am so scared and nerves I pray that we don't have all those bad after surgery complication ...My name is Mari.

Hi surgery buddy! That’s my date too...

Hello everyone My question is has anyone had psoriasis or eczema resolved after WLS?

I am in NY and my WLS center had all the Doctors in the same area so all my pre-op appointments were pretty easy...All i had tp do was schedule my visits and show up all the paper work was fax or mail to my Dr. With that said try to find a wls center that works to benefit you...My appt process started end of October, by the last week of November eli was done with pre-op testing ... I thought this would take longer bc I have medicaid and just found out I yesterday I am approved for Surgery...

Where are you located?

You look great!!!Your pictures are so inspiring and motivating...Can't wait until I'm sleeved!

Wow, you look amazing!

I haven't had surgery, doing all my pre-op testing...Terrible mistake I made was telling my older sister that is also overweight and suffering from hbp about the vsl ...No support, all she did was scream and yell over the phone...She said yhat surgery is not an option ... Also spoke to one of my sister-in-law and she just gave me all the complication and problem that can happen...smh,like seriously I don't know this!! I told my husband and he supports me...With that said Keep it to yourself!

Wonderful story so happy for you!! Post some before & after pics

God bless you with successful and speedy recovery!

You look amazing!!

Wow,that just great!

Hi everyone, Currently at my pre-op stage I have seen every specials in the book.... Lol Pcp, Gastro, Phyic, Pulmonary, cardiologist and Urologist all cleared me for WNL. Last appt was with the nutritionists once again the dreadful 7day diet... I feel so ashamed when I see the amount of food I eat and feel out of control... I hate it!!! I feel hungry all the time...My medical issues are serious, I have high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol taking a bunch of meds.. I weight 230 5'4... Can the nutritional evaluación affect the insurance covering the surgery? Can the supervised diet harm my chances of being approved?

Thanks you for your feedback...

Omg, I am not sleeved neither just going through post-op appt and all I can think about is complications and death.... Smh Happ to hear I'm not the only 1...

That good... I am new to this... My name is Mari I'm from NY... Where are you from? Currently on pre-op stage with appts and evaluations... Recently started feeling so scared about having WLS... .. At this point in time do you regret having WLS?

Happy to hear your surgery was successful... How are you feeling?

You look amazing!!
