I just want to thank you all for taking the time and replying back to me I do have my last appointment on July 25th , I'm going to still go and let them know what's going on. Hopefully they tell me I can do it after the baby is born

Hello all, I am new to this app, I am 3 months into my 3 months nutritional visits before getting my surgery and I just found out I am 4 1/2 months pregnant, my period was very irregular I didn't have it since November of 2013 so that's why I didn't think I'll be pregnant. Now I have to put my surgery on hold. I'm just curious, will I have to start over again? I'm from New York City and I was going to do my surgery in montefiore hospital in the bronx. I am kind of happy I'm pregnant and the surgery will always be there for me to do but I really wanted this and get healthy. Thanks for everyone's support

Hello, I say go for it, this will help you become healthy and live a long life. It's is a blessing that you got a surgery date. Many people don't get that chance. You have to be committed and I believe that once you get this procedure done you will be committed and become healthy. Being healthy is better than being unhealthy. I was scared to but I'm going for it. I have to do a 3 to 6 month nutritionist visit and then I'll have my surgery. I am very scared but at the end I will become healthy, be there for my daughter and live a longer life. If you have questions you should ask your surgeon. If you make your decision please update us and let us know. God bless

And also, this is why I won't tell anyone about my surgery because I know I will get negativity and people hating. The only person I told was my husband and he doesn't even want me to do it. I've been trying to talk to about it and he doesn't wanna hear it, I'm doing this to be healthy and I also have a daughter that I wanna be there for when she's older. Thanks

If she was a true friend she would support you no matter what. And if she's overweight she could even go through this journey with you. She is not your friend. And you need to stay away and do what you think is best for you. If you want to get healthy go for it!

It's funny cuz we all were in the beginning stage! And I very upset because I went to see my surgeon and the nurse that weighting me had the nerve to say, "I don't know why people are doing this surgery, they need to run around in the park and stop depending on a surgery" omg! I got so upset and I told her some people need it for medical reasons, and it's really messed up, I told my doctor I don't want her to help me at all! And he assigned a nice older nurse that understood why we are doing this,

Hello all, I have my appointment with my surgeon today. I hope all goes we'll ???? I'm from the bronx. My pcp gave me a referral and hopefully all goes we'll and I can get my surgery done. Thanks
