Thank you both for responding to this! I really appreciate it! I am just hoping that seeing the guy who read my results is enough since it was in 2011! I don't want to go through another sleep study! At least not now!

Was diagnosed with it in 2011! I am going to see the pulmonologist that read my report for clearance for surgery instead of one on their list. I am hoping that I don't have to go through another sleep study! And I'm hoping seeing him is enough and I don't have to go see another one on their list! Does anyone have any experience with this? And, how do they handle someone with sleep apnea during surgery and after? Thanks!

Wow Bunnyk! That is great! I love seeing results like yours. What did you start at If you don't mind me asking!

Thanks so much! I hope I get a date soon too!

That is so great to hear! I hope I'm as lucky!

Thanks! I'm excited! Did you have any nausea or the bad gas pains people keep talking about?

That's great you are down 41 lbs! Good for you!

Oh thank you so much! My name is Stacie by the way!

So, how is your weigh loss coming? I am so glad you are doing great!!

I have all of my appts scheduled with all drs to get the ok for surgery the first half of Jan! My consultation with the bariatric dr is the 15th. I had to go to a seminar first. And then insurance was approved and now this is my 3rd step I guess you could say.

Oh cool!! When did you have your surgery? How are you doing?

I live in Aurora Illinois. I am having my surgery in New Lenox which is close to Joliet! Are you in IL?

M looking for someone in Illinois! I have not got a surgery date yet! My consultation is on Jan 15th.

Wow you look amazing!!! I bet you feel great too! Good for you! I don't have a surgery date yet. My consultation is on Jan 15th. I already have my dr appointments scheduled for clearance for surgery. All the first half of Jan! I can't wait! I sure hope I get approved and get a surgery date soon after my consultation.

Wow!!! You look amazing! How much weight did you lose and how long did it take? Congrats!

Wow!!! 123 lbs in a little over 7 months? Good for you! . That is just great! Did you work out at all? I work out but hate it so much! I wish I enjoyed it. My husband loves it! I know the dr will want me to work out after the surgery and I am cleared for it! I say ick haha!

Yes I am talking about the prep diet! Thanks everyone for responding to my post!

Hi everyone! I don't have a surgery date yet. I am in the very beginning of this journey. I'm very concerned because I'm always so hungry now! How am I gonna get through the liquid phase? I know this probably seems like a small thing to worry about, but I am worried.

All I can say is WOW! Great job!! I am so excited for you! I bet you look and feel great! Did you work out at all?

Well that is really good to know! My friend tried rice and it hurt her stomach so bad she was doubled over in pain. She said the reason is that it expands. And she just had a little bit too. She did say no popcorn!

Hi everyone! Is there any foods you can't have after to are cleared for a regular diet again? My best friend had gastric bipass a few years ago and she can not have popcorn or rice ever again she was told! I love popcorn!! Especially when going to the movies. I can't imagine having to give that up all together! Thanks everyone! I'm just starting the process but trying to get as much info as I can!

Oh my! That's what I fear! I love movie theater popcorn. When did you have your surgery? I know it's hard but you can do it!!

Sorry for that picture everyone! I guess it's workings now! That was an oops! Haha!

Thanks! It worked! Yay! Now I need to figure out how to attach pictures because I keep getting that error message!

Hi everyone. I'm having trouble figuring this out! I have an iPhone. I did figure out how to attach a picture but there is an error and it says to contact administrated. How do I do that? Thanks!

Just got off the phone with the dr office! My insurance has been approved! Woohoo! And I already filled out health history so I now have my first appointment which is Jan 15th at 2:15. I have a bmi of 56 and some conditions so the lady I talked to said that's all I need for approval! I'm so excited! I'm nervous too! I wish I didn't have to wait till the 15th though! It seems so far away!

Thanks again everyone! I really appreciate all the replies!!

Thanks so much! I just realized that my bmi was calculated wrong because I put in a wrong number. My bmi is 56.1.
