That's a great question? I would love that too. Would be nice to have it on you tube and maybe practice some to see if u could do a zumba class.

Well I head to the hospital in 6 hours. I'm attempting to sleep a little before hand. Lol. I only lost 14 lbs on 2 week liquid pre op but that's better than nothing. Wish me luck.
Prayers out to my re birth crew. I will attempt to post pics. Not sure how tho.

I think the best advice us as nurses can do is just refer you to your doctor. I know, I hate calling the dr myself for every little thing. People are so different and how they react to anything. Something as simple as diarrhea for one person, may be serious for another person. So on and so forth. If I can't physically see and assess the person, I have to refer them to their dr just bc I would rather be safe than sorry. Everyone has different medical problems etc.
I really hope you get to feeling better. We all I think should keep a little journal do a while. What we ate, how we feel at certain times etc. see if there Is a pattern there. Take that journal to the dr with us. I know it could be a pain in the butt, but I think it could help us especially if we are experiencing and adverse reaction or something. Just a thought.

Do do I call Bariatric Advantage and ask them to sentence the dorm for my dr to fill out and send back so I get 3 months free?
Is that a special program? How did I hear about that?
My dr sells that stuff in his office.

Good luck to all my March buddies coming up to surgery day. Hang in there only a few more days left to go. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys.

Well my surgery was finally rescheduled. It's march 19th.
Good luck to all upcoming surgeries. I know you all will do great.
Stay positive.

I was suppose to have my surgery this Monday.
Well I have a horrible sinus infection and strep throat UGH! So my surgery for Monday was canceled.
Now I have to wait to get it rescheduled again and because of work it won't e until layer on in March now.
I'm getting laid off in 2 weeks so I have to wait until after that to do my surgery. I had already done 1 week of a 2 week liquid diet so in a couple weeks I will have to start all over again.
I almost thought this was a sign and I told the dr that I no longer wanted the surgery. Then I realized how badly I wanted my life back so I decided I have it again. I think I was just an emotional wreck from not eating, getting sick and nervous about the surgery.
Stay strong everyone and good luck to you all. I'm glad to see the post ops are doing well and I will update you guys on my new surgery date when I get.
That 2 week liquid diet is no joke.

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

Thank you. This has been years in the making.

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.
