That is fantastic news. I know I you feel. Congrats to you and good luck!!!

I am suppose to go back after 2 weeks too. How did u guys do it? I'm nervous. Thinking like I will have tO run to the bathroom to get sick or whatever, how would that work?

Sorry. What are the HMR shakes?

I don't think all insurance companies send them out to patients. But I'm not sure. I will keep the injury stuff in mind. Thank you. What are the HHR shakes?

Good luck to you all with ur upcoming surgeries. ???? What shakes are u drinking??

I got my approval from the insurance. I'm hoping my date will be in February too. I received my approval letter from my insurance company and it said Feb 15th on there, but my dr hasn't actually given me a date yet. I meet with him Jan24th.

I just got the call that my insurance has APPROVED my surgery. Woooohoooo I could just cry right now

Good luck to you. Hopefully you will hear something soon. I know for me I have been at this for a couple years, I can't believe I am this close b

Thank you. This has been years in the making.

Be careful with the e-cigs because my doctor said no to them too.

How did you know that u needed to have the pressure lowered?

You will love having the machine. You will feel so much better. I went thru several masks to find one comfortable enough for me. Now I wear it every night. I travel with it. Even if I'm not in bed but feeling like I'm gonna fall asleep, I go to bed just so I can wear it. Good luck to you.

I have only my EGD to do next week then I wait for approval. Because of another surgery I have to have in September I won't be able to do my WLS til beginning of next year. ????. Is there any advice anyone can give me on what to do ahead of time to prepare and think ahead before surgery? Thanks

Just have to say that everyone here is great. No matter what you choose to do or not to do, no matter what your story is or what your struggles are, nothing is TMI here. Every one here is great. No one judges anyone. I'm so glad I stumbled across this. everyone offers their support and recommendations.

Good luck to you. You are in the right place for support. Keep us posted.

Thank you very much. Wha vitamins are recommended to ake? I take a multi and vitamin C now.

A friend of mine had the band done in Mexico and was very successful! However she did get sick a lot. She found a fill station in the US for her post op fills. When I was looking into it, I found out that most of the surgeons there (Mexico) taught the surgeons in the US. Keep doing ur research but I hope this helps.

I really hope you feel better soon. I too have kidney stones and pass the all the time, I I have one now so I understand ur pain! I also have 2 stones right now in the right kidney and each of them are the size of golf balls. Because of that I have to postpone my surgery. I have to have surgery to remove them next week. They have to cut me from the back then cut into the kidney to her them. Wish me luck. I hope you pass them soon, the pain is terrible. If the pain doesn't ease up for me by tomorrow I'm going to the ER myself. Good luck to you. Hang in there!

Glad you guys are doing well and can go home.

Good luck to you. Think positive.

Good luck to you all that had surgery today and will have tomorrow.

50 lbs is great!! Good job. Even tho it doesn't seem much, that's still fantastic.

That's how I feel now. Glad I'm not the only one.

Sorry to hear about your brother. I'm having the hardest time trying to quit smoking. What can I do?
