OMGGGG lol, even your bra ?? Lol do they put in the catheter while I'm sedated ?

Ew what they tell you to take off your undies ?? Omg lol whyyyy

I did that too but you'll have catheter/folly the first day and then an IV the whole time you're there so you own clothes can be tricky. I did wear pajama shorts after my folly came out. I mean I'll wear short sleeves.. And like Lon pajama pants but the first day I guess I'll have to wear a gown but once that catheter is out .. I'm changing lol

I'm guessing sigh of relief for me. My bmi is 47. Diabetic hypertension and high cholesterol.... My insurance I have no idea how it goes.. I'm just waiting on my date .. ???????????? my surgeon just had to call the or so happy

I think I'll be taking my own sleep wear like pajamas because I don't feel comfy at all walking around a hospital in a hospital gown ewes lol I'm so excited

Yes I know thank you. I met with him on Wednesday. He said the next time he'll see me is surgery day.. It's all sinking in like whoaaaa lol I'm so ready

I'm 250lbs.. 5'1, bmi of 47. High cholesterol, diabetic ( with no medications ) hypertension.. I swear it's not cool. I don't like any of this.. Horrible back pains, and shortness of breath. All his drains me out my goodness lol well i should be having surgery at the end of the month., it's so real now. Like it's insane to me that this is all happening so quick so exciting

Aw ok... My heart rate was at 92 per minute I don't know if that's ok.. Super excited though to have the surgery so all these health issues can just go bye bye

Lol me too girl.. What's normal heart beat per minute ladies

Lol girl I can't go without shower and brushed teeth 2 times a day for both. I'll be taking a couple things I know I'll be using ..

I'll do as the doctors say but I need to keep my wooha clean. And my hair as well lol

Yikes what's that pain like ? The blood clot pain ? I heard that's very common in the bypass

Yikes loll.. Every single day I must shower 2 times a day.. So I have to shower there as well I pla. On walking as much as possible so I won't get clots. Those are very dangerous. Even when I go home I'll walk 2 times a day for 30 minutes each

Yes me too. I'm real picky with all that stuff I prefer taking my own personal everything

We have the same thinking lol I don't want to be wearing the gowns all the time during my stay. I'll be taking my own everything.

Lol, I have my period right now. I'm getting surgery hopefully end of June.. Or early July.

I did the same thing. I didn't tell anyone in my family no one knows about my surgery except for my husband, my mother and siblings. Other than that no one else. It'll be a surprise. This is a major step and it's something very special. I didn't want anyone to ruin or steal my shine for myself. So I kept it to myself. I'll know when the time is right

Lol, I have to shower it's a must I can't do a day without taking my 2'showers yuck. I always take my own things more because I have type sensitive skin so I use aveeno. I'll take my phone and iPad ( hope the hospital has wifi ) my own towel and blanket. I sleep with a specific blanket lol ( they better crank that ac all the way up ) I'm so existed my surgery is late June early July.. But they didn't put me on a pre op diet

4 weeks to prep for surgery.. Thank god so happyyyyyyy

Today is my final appt with my surgeon I'm going with sleeve because it's not so invasive like thr by pass and tht lap band just won't do justice for my goal. But from friends their outcomes have been outstanding and they look AMAZING !

A very close friend of mine did the lap band 6 years ago.. She just lost weight. It's really not worth it, why don't you go with the sleeve ? With the lap hand you gain the right too

Hope you're ok, and congrats to you..

It's ok to feel what you're feeling. I have my final appt with my surgeon this Wednesday .. The 4th it was a quick journey in happy to say.. Still waiting on my approval .. Thr papers haven't even been submitted but I'm being positive and all that good stuff.. Praying on it. I have a bmi of 46.7 247 lbs, hypertension, pre diabetic, high cholesterol, prior depressant ( at times I still get depressed ) elevated thyroid ( abnormal ) high triglycerides .. Thankfully I'm not taking anything for any of it. I'm also 5'1 I live in Ny I have health First.. Let's see fingers crossed I get this approval becauSe I'm SOOO done being the " fat one " everywhere I go. I'm always the one standing out because I'm the big girl

Hey ladies, any of you have Health First through Medicaid ?
