Do you have to remind yourself to eat? What do you eat on a typical day?

Thanks!! I'm sure I will have a million questions once I get a little further along!

My husband is from Latham! Jealous your in Florida!! Did u have your surgery yet?

I was in and out in 15 min. They made me fill out a lot of information screening for depression an bi-polar. But everything went fine was out in no time!! Good luck ladies!!

I'm curious to see what he asks me. They told me to plan to be there about an hour. So even that won't be so bad. I'm just glad that his office and the hospital I'm going through are only 10 min. From where I live. I met a few people who traveled over an hour to go to the orientation for this hospital. That's gotta stink to have to drive so far for these appointments and weigh ins.

I go to my Psych on Wednesday! I hope I'm in and out as well!!

My first appointment was with the centers P.A. I also met with the nutritionist and my case coordinator. From there ine I do not have any other issues and everything else's like the EGD and colonoscopy are all up to date, all I had to laws get blood work and make an appointment o meet the psychologist. My appointment at the center was last Thursday, and I'm meeting with the psy on Wednesday. Sometime this week I should get an Emil for when my first appointment with my actual surgeon will be. Once I loose 5% of my body weight they will schedule the surgery. My insurance required 6 month supervised item, I was previously on weight watchers and have all my weigh in records. The costumer service agent I spoke with thought that it would be sufficient! So as long as my insurance accepts the wight watchers information, I may be looking at July surgery date!

Wow that's awesome!! I can't wait to get it done!! What made you choose the sleeve over the bypass?

I just began the process. I met with the P.A and the nutritionist last week. I don't need to gave any other test done since I do not have any other health issues. I'm waiting for the psychologist to call back to schedule an appointment. I should hear this week about my first appointment with surgeon. From there as soon as I loose 5% they schedule the surgery. As long as I'm close to the 10% the surgery is done. My insurance company required a 6 month medically supervised diet. But since I did weight watchers and kept all JT weigh in stuff, they told me to submit it and they should except it. So if that's the case my case coordinator is pretty confident that ill be ready to go by July! How far along are you? I know a girl who had the bypass at St.Peters and loved her surgeon!

I see Dr. Ingram through Ellis Bariatric center. Who's your surgeon?
