Way to Go!!

It's nice to hear another person who feels that their life with food will not be "over" after surgery.

I'll be right there with you on the 30th - walk, walk, sip,sip,

Could be each psych does their evaluation differently too?

I guess in a way i'm happy that my insurance doesn't pay for this. I had to quit smoking too, but luckily, I was tired of it. I don't have to wait around, but I do have to go to Mexico to make it affordable. Surgery is next Tues. so i'll keep looking for your updates.

That's my secret too, I bake, then I give it away!!

OK so here's what I went with (FA = Future of America, M = Me):
FA: Ms. Diamond, how was your surgery?
M: I'm feeling fine, thank you!
FA: What did you have surgery on?
M: Oh, I had some things removed. It's kinda gross and you don't want to know about it.
FA: OK. (pause) What did you have removed? Your eyeballs? Can you see us? Are those fake eyeballs? Yeah, I think one's falling out!
M: No.
FA: But really, what did you have removed?
M: My testicles
That shut 'em up.

Hell Yeah!! I'm doing the same thing before my surgery - mani/pedi, roots,I want to look good for this surgery!!

Love your post! Thanks!

That is an impressive list!! Way to go!!!

You would think that they would recognize at Hallmark that WLS is an occasion. Love that one shoulder lace dress!! Congratulations on your date, that is my date as well. Can't wait!

I do not have a long post-op diet plan. I quit smoking 3 weeks ago and have gained 10lbs. God knows how fast we can all put weight on, and I have just been eating with abandon. You are also not the only ones to avoid family gatherings and cameras. I always dread them - but I push myself to go because the bottom line is they are my family. Make sure you go to see them in December. Your family loves you and wants to see you and your daughter no matter what you weigh!!

Talk to your PCP or your surgeon - it can probably be easily corrected. But you've got to let your professionals know

Most of us have lived your story! I am happy that you have finally been approved.

Now come on, expecting to get an answer the 1st or 4th phone call??? I really hope the rest of this goes better for you - but - be prepared, you may have to push and prod people to get what you want.

I read this - it has really good information. If you're light on post-op diet progression information - this provides answers

But it's your job to get rid of the wild animal that could have rabies...

Thanks for your story. This is my last fat 4th of July!!

Glad to hear that life is getting easier!!
