Yes my hospital does drug and alcohol tests and takes careful inventory of all drugs in their supply. Weed is illegal for a reason. I just don't like my nurses disobeying the law. If they can't be trusted in the workplace, I would not trust them with my health.

When I lose weight the first thing I want to do is get a breast reduction! Maybe look at that option?

How are you a nurse and smoke weed? Don't they drug test? I hope I don't get a nurse when I'm in the hospital who is high on weed.

Oh no I hope you feel better! This is exactly what I'm worried about. I have a weak stomach as it is! Can't imagine it after surgery...

I have to do 2 weeks of pure liquid diet. I'm gonna die!

Did anyone go into shock ever on the pre op diet? My body did once on another Protein Shake diet I did. I was so sick and shaking.

January 8th!

Hey everyone!

I'm still pre-op but getting close to my surgery date. I'm trying to think about what I will eat post op. I'm not a big meat eater and I don't like fish. What else can I eat to get my Protein in?

This is what I am terrified of! I have to go back to work two weeks after surgery. I hope I don't fall asleep at my desk!

I'm going to have to double dose on my anxiety meds when it gets close to my surgery date. So scared!

Yeah I went to outback and had their cheese fries one last time. I'm just working out everyday so I don't gain weight.

Did the lap band not work? I know another person who got the band removed and did sleeve.

I heard the first 3 months are tough but it only gets better!

Yeah its especially going to be hard around christmas time. I think I might be a hermit and hide in my house!

I was told to wait 2 years

I do the Cookies and cream. I like to mix it with ice! Tastes like a shake. When I went they only had berry, chocolate, vanilla, and cookies and cream. The others sound yummy!!

My surgery date is January 8, 2014! It's been a long process of 11 months of trying to get approved. Anybody else having the surgery in January? I am terrified of the two weeks of a liquid diet before surgery. I can't get my mind around not eating anything but liquids after surgery too for awhile. If I do that now, I get very sick!

My insurance requires you to be morbidly obese for 5 years before they will approve you for surgery. I am 5'4 and 246 pounds. 5 years ago I was 216 pounds. I do not meet the requirement. They also said I need to follow a supervised diet for 6 consecutive months before my claim can be submitted. My doctor does not think I will be approved but I still am going to keep pushing. I can't live 5 more years like this!

I am still debating the surgery... I went in wanting to do the lap band, however after learning about the sleeve I think it might be more beneficial for me. My BMI is 41 and I do not have any major health concerns, so I am hoping I don't get denied. Eeeek!

I haven't had my surgery yet. However, the straw that broke the camels back for me was having a hard time fastening the seat belt in an airplane.
