My boyfriends gonna LOVE that lolol

This gives me so much hope!! I'm so scared but I'm really trying to not think about the actual surgery.. I'm just trying to think about the afterwards

Me too!! I cannot wait til after my surgery (sometime in July)! I'm so ready to be able to wear nice things and not be so self conscious and to actually feel good about myself

Ahhh that gives me so much hope cuz that's my size now.. I can't wait to be a 12 again!!!

How bad does gas get after surgery?

Awesome!! Hope everything goes well!

Lol yay for drugs! Good luck with the recovery! Enjoy your long weekend!

I'm finishing up my psych evals and the work shops... I start them in June.. How was the surgery?? And the recovery??

We're you a "grazer" before? Not sure if it's used in other programs but my nutritionist said its someone that picks in between meals and eats from boredom.. Which is me now lol I can't wait to just get this over with tho! Every appt is one step closer but then I have a ton more! Agh!! Lol

Yeah that's not fun.. I'm glad youre doing well with it tho, it's encouraging.. How was it transitioning from real food to liquids/purée?

How long did it take u to recover and not be in pain from surgery.. I can only take a week off for surgery so I'm hoping it'll be enough.. I'm a hygienist so it's not too much lifting or moving around..

This would be my first

Pretty sure it's once a week for 3 weeks.. Like a giant support group with other rny ppl too

I have bc bs of ri, healthcare coast to coast.. Think it's a ppo.. And they have all same requirements.. I'm almost done with all the evals and already got the medical clearance.. Hoping they'll deem the rny medically necessary!!

How did u end up with thrush? I'm a dental hygienist so im just curious lol

I'm in the same boat you are Jennifer.. Would never do the band or the sleeve.. Just trying not to think of the surgery part.. Think of the end results!!

so how are you feeling about 1 week post op?

How are you doing?? How did the surgery go??

GOOD LUCK!!!

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!!

Yes banding is def out of the question for me!! Not interested in having a port hole lol

Does anyone else have poly cystic ovarian syndrome? And if so how has your progress been?? I've been dealing with it since I was 15 and coincidentally enough have been gaining about 15 lbs per year since then! Not scheduled for surgery yet, still going thru counseling

Ok so I'm totally new to this process. Just got qualified for the surgery on Friday. First nutritional appt is 4-28-12... I've been reading some of the posts.. Some ppl regret getting it scares me alot. How did you guys cope and get thru the initial scariness?
