  1. I have seen posts about tests prior to surgery. What tests are they? I have already done all tests besides psych evaluation. Are there other tests like a week or two after you get a surgery date?

    Approved!

    I sure hope that's the case for me LOL. I just wish they would get rid of the 6 month (7 consecutive) supervised weight loss

    Have To Lose A Little...

    BB I had 2 weeks prior to surgery as well. I chose to quit earlier in case I had a hard time with it. Not really understanding the weight gain that comes with it I wish I would have waited but I've come to far to start back for a couple months to just quit again.

    Have To Lose A Little...

    Sunshine I am struggling with this as well. And it is really hard trying to get this 7 pounds off. Which I gained literally in one month when I quit smoking in July. I have lost 3.2 pounds of it so far but it has taken 3 weeks to do it so far. You may just need to up your exercise a little each day to help

    Before Surgery

    Well before my pcp said to eat a banana a day to help with potassium loss due to meds so I am going to start taking one potassium supplement till I her bananas. I don't need this being something that delays me getting surgery So i am going to try and fix it. I don't go till the 24th for monthly weigh in and I will sure be armed with a lot of questions for the NP

    Before Surgery

    I think my potassium is low too. I am on fluid pill with my high blood pressure pills and I am not consuming enough food with potassium right now. I have potassium vitamins just don't know if I should take 1 or 2 of them daily

    When I went to my seminar the surgeons explained each procedure and went over complications etc..when the seminar was over you could either stand in line and make appointment then or call. I stood in line LOL when I first walked in they had paperwork for everyone to fill out and turned in before seminar started

    Also check to see if your surgeon has a website you can get more info from there too if they do

    Welcome Brittany!! Usually after the seminar they will make appointments for first consultation. At the first appointment you usually see the surgeon the nurse the dietitian and exercise physiologist. The nurse will go over your medical history. Your surgeon may have test that you have to get prior to surgery such as EKG, Endoscopy. And blood work. Each surgeon is different in what tests they want you to do

    My husband is same way as well as my adult son living back home. They have no compassion on what I am having to do. So the other day in the midde of cooking something I know I can't have I put the cooking utensils down went in while they were just laying in the couch watching TV like always and said I was done. I refuse to cook what I can't eat so if you want to eat cook it yourselves. Gave them the utensils and walked away.

    Weight Gain?

    Most of my snacks have been like SF jello to try and curb the hunger. And of course the snacks is where I record most of my coffee. The nurse practioner told me I had to lose this 5 pounds this month to make up for gaining the 7. Because it is from quitting smoking she said she would document that but insurance can deny a person for gaining. Just like you can get denied for losing to much too. Sigh....

    Weight Gain?

    I think I can handle doctor postponing a week or so till I lost it then to get denied by insurance for it
