my surgeon after approving me denied me a year later :(
BarntruckCutie replied to jennabean44's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hope things work out for you. I too deal with mental health issues, I have been cleared by everyone to have surgery. Cleared by everyone that is except my husband, he wants me happy yet he is worried about my mental health going foward with the sleeve on the 21st of august.I know he is just worried about what's best for me. Ugh, what to do! -
I take Celebrate brand bariatric vitamins. They are pretty good. Good enough I can chew em down. They have different flavors. I take a multi with iron and a calcium one.Best of luck finding one you like.

Family is unsupportive :/
BarntruckCutie replied to Tisa's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You are not selfish, I just think its unrealistic to change everyone elses eating options. I feel it may be more difficult for you with those tempting foods around but its not fair to say they can't have it because you choose wls. You and me too just have to discipline ourselves and make changes that are good for us. You can do it! Stay strong and remember there are tons of us out here going through this too! Best of luck to you! -
Hi everyone! I have an appointment comeing up and I will ask my surgeon, but I was wondering if everyone who gets sleeved has a drain??? Any responses will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance

Hi, from the St. Charles, Illinois area here! -
Can NOT decide between the VSG and RNY! How did you choose
BarntruckCutie replied to iamdeannadixon's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I chose the sleeve because I did not feel I wanted to reroute my plumbing. Also felt I could keep my vitamins and minerals easier in check. I also take extended release meds and you cannot take extended release with RNY, so I chose the sleeve. Best of luck to you. -

"Why don't you just diet and work out?!?"
BarntruckCutie replied to mamaofmatthew's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just tell them that Ive tried all the diets out there more than once and I do exercise, but Ive done my research and I am happy with my choice to get the sleeve. I am doing what is going to help me get healthy again! They usually hush up and don't bother me again with a statement like that! I don't hide the fact that Im getting bariatric surgery at all. Im proud and loud about it! LOL -

Truvia tastes better than stevia and is still stevia. -
Horrible gastric issues from pre surgery antibiotics
BarntruckCutie replied to Poseyrosey's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Check into c-diff which you can get from antibiotics or h- pylori which can cause your symptoms. Hope its not anything but reaction to your meds. Good luck. -

Peter rantis is my surgeon too! My surgery is on August 21st. Its could of been sooner if I wasn't going on vacation the end of July. Nice to meet you. How did your surgery go? -
sick of movies representing fat women as stupid!
BarntruckCutie replied to iamsoworthit's topic in Rants & Raves
I love melissa mcarthy! Shes a comedian and is making her way in this world the best way she can. I for one love her talent and she makes me laugh. She's an actress , she's doing what she does and her being fat is just who she is. Other comedians have their nitch and she's got hers! I don't find her insulting, she accepts herself and is happy with who she is!! -
