Going to hospital, Good Luck and Prayers sent your way. I had my surgery Thursday the 20th of June. Other than excess drainage taking longer. Everything seems to be going good. Only wish is I'm waiting till next week to be able to eat creamed food versus straight Clear Liquids. Have a Great Day Ljj

Going in for surgery in the morning at Mobile infirmary. Panic, Anxiety off the charts. Please pray for me, as I truly believe God is holding the Dr's s hands. I will keep you updated on my progress. Lj

My mind is racing, painic attacks, aniexty off the charts. Please pray for me. As I believe God has a hold on all Dr's hands. As it takes great patience, knowledge, skill and God to be able to do what they do. I'll be at mobile infirmary. And will keep you all informed as to my progress. Lj

My dr. is dr. Dyas at mobile infirmary. Have any of you had your surgery done by him? Scared I'm 60 with high blood pressure had a stint put in 2007 And have thyroid problem 5ft 4 245lbs not very active ad I seem not to have a high energy level and depression. I'm not a pity party person. So I'm really hoping loosing this weight will give Mr back an active life. I love to walk but out of breathe and knees keep me from doing a whole lot. Can any of you tell me things to do to get in shape for my surgery as I know it will be better for me all the way around if I do. Thanks in advance for all your help

Can anyone tell me if Medicare pays for reconstructive surgery? And what all are the requirements for being approved? Any and all opinions welcome. One more question do you usually have to wait a year after your surgery? As by then you would have lost all the weight. Lj

I trying to make notes and like it I can ho back and re-read the posts. I'm I Al close to Mobile I'm already approved but waiting on my Daughters approval. They are doing a sleep test on her 8th of May. But if they come up with nothing she wont be approved. They said you have to have pre-existing condions, blood pressure, diabetes, or heart or sleep apnea. She and I are do worried please keep fingers crossed for her? She 38 5ft 2 and 246 She top heavy and miserable. Snores like a lion and can drink Water till bedtime even though they say she has no sugar. I'm 5ft 3 and 240 lbs. Have a good evening and thanks for all the great posts.

Newbie with tons of questions. I have had panic attacks ever since my thyroid and blood pressure started giving me problems. Have any of you had any good changes with your thyroid? The Dr. said my blood pressure would go down, but I didn't think to ask about my thyroid. Also I carry most my weight in my bottom half. But my legs are larger than others I'be seen. Its not Water retension but just weight. I can barely where jeans as the legs are so tight it makes it difficult and very uncomfortable. Does anyone else have this problem? My calf's and knees are huge wondering how much loose skin I will experience? And one last question are we suppose to start exercising right after surgery, or wait till after the 6 week period?

Can you please explain to me how to directly post to the list newbie struggling to learn hoe to get around site. Thanks in advance for all your help
