Congrats to you all in making it to the losers bench and being healthy.

Yes you are they put the Cather in and everything.

Hi and welcome first I would like to say congrats on your choice to be healthy, once you meet with your primary doctor as well as a surgery team they will discuss with you all of your options, I would listen to my doctors and do as much research as you can in preparing for my procedure, the time you spend preparing for this surgery will help you understand why you eat and begin to make changes in your daily activity and food choices, I highly recommend listening to your doctors because if you could loose the weight and keep it off then you would have no need for surgery, good luck.

Congrats I am on 5 weeks out but I'm feeling great I don't have much to add right now with the exception I'm off all of my diabetic medications. I look forward to your post.

I by chocolate shakes by premiere as well at SAMs club.

Hi I agree with other post it is natural to feel anxious about the unknown but getting put to sleep was the best rest I had in a long time, and knowing that your on the road to being healthy is worth it, good luck to you both you hot this and congrats on making the choice to be healthy.

I hope you feel better soon, I like that you are positive throughout this please keep us posted.

I would begin to focus on one day at a time if you are eating correctly and exercise daily the weight will come off I agree with the other feedback how do you feel on general I am. 5 weeks post opt and down 30 pounds I'm off diabetic medications . Good luck

Congrats on your choice to be healthy. Good luck with your surgery.

Your looking good I cant wait to see where I am at in 3 months, keep up the great work.

Congrats I a so happy for you I know this is an exciting time in your life , your new life is about to begin and trust me the surgery is so worth it keep us posted and congrats again on your choice to be healthy.

Hi when you eat and your food is getting stuck are you getting a discomfort in the top of your chest where your first incision was done? I would ensure that I am chewing my food 60 times before swallowing , if it still appears to be stuck I will revert back to protein shakes until you see your doctor. Good luck my friend.

I would contact my insurance company to see why was denied then I will began the appeal letter asap, I am sure your doctor can write you a letter stating why you need this surgery. Good luck.

Hi it's normal .

Good luck I'm sure your going to do great, walk and walk so that all the gas comes out.

Dee81 congrats on your choice to be healthy you will see every day gets better and after the gas is out your going to feel great I'm 4 weeks out and feel fantastic .welcome to the losers bench.

Hi I use bio oil and it work wonders you can see. My incisions sites hardly it did great for scars and itching good luck.

Congrats this is an exciting time good luck.

Hi I am 4 weeks out and I can't tolerate scrabble eggs, or anything fried, I don't crave sweets anymore and prefer tuna or my protein shake over anything, I like mash potatoes but hated them prior to surgery. It's like eating now is a chore and a means for survival only.

Hi all insurance companies are different it can be 48 hours to two weeks congrats on your choice to be healthy and good luck .

Hi look at the sugar content it should be under 5 grams if so it's ok.

I agree with the above statement what us more important to you what others say or think or your tight to be healthy and prolong your life. If you do MIT have the surgery you are facing a lifetime of illness and a shorter life or you can decide to become healthy. Good luck my friend. But you deserve to be healthy and do not owe anyone an explanation .

Awesome experiment

Sotobee anytime my friend.

Looking good keep up the great work.
