ANY WORD ON THE BIOPSIES???

Maybe you can set a timer on your cellphone and only take one bite per 5 minutes?

Can I ask why you were denied?

Yes ...there is. Can you text me on my cellphone? I'm going to pm you my number okay?

Please come back and let me know how it went...I'm so afraid of getting turned down, this is torture...it's my last hope.

Agreed. I've had 4 c sections and a lower body lift. The lower body lift almost killed me but it was worth it. Hoping to get my sleeve soon...

I hope you feel better :-(

Just curious....

Been stationed at Fort Stewart before. Actually bought a home in Midway. I am in El Paso tx (fort bliss) and I am a Air Force veteran, 100% disabled.

True^^^

Well I hope my psych eval goes as smoothly as y'all's did :-)

If you don't mind me asking where are you at? Are you a veteran or spouse? Thank you for taking the time to help me!!!!

It won't let me see :-(. Booo

P.s. I don't smoke :-). Yucky never have lol

Oh yes it helps ALOT!!! However the Bariatric Coordinator who said I was approved told me the entire process happens in 6-8 weeks...is that a valid statement because everything you just described seems like it's going to take months! Do you think he exaggerated when he said 6-8 weeks!?

It's amazing how the pictures look like two different people. I know gaining weight has changed my looks so much I can't wait to lose again.

YOU LOOK AH MA ZING!!!!!!!!

Well it's all a part of the "protocol". After I do the 3 hour seminar and 1 support group meeting then they will schedule me with the surgeon, psych eval and then move Onto labs, tests and EKG etc. but the coordinator told me the entire process from start to finish is 8 weeks. So I started August 1st and really wanting to get the surgery done by October. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm like spazIng out over here wondering what I should expect at my psych eval to get this surgery approved. Does anyone have any information they could share on what happens during this particular part of the process? I was watching a show lastnight called "My Weight is Killing Me" and one of the females got denied because the psychiatrist said she "presented with depression" and "wasn't ready for surgery" ALL BECAUSE she cried a little during the interview... Is this true that we can't have any emotion during these interviews or we get denied???

Praying for you!!!! I have my first seminar and support group coming in the next two weeks and then psych eval/labs/tests next. Please pray for me too!

Thought it would be awesome to start a thread with ONLY before and after weights. The before (highest weight ever) and after (current picture). I can't wait to see you all!!!!

A anyone had WLS at William Beaumont Army Medical Center or knew of anyone who has?

Were supporting you 100% sweetie! I have your back! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! You are loved and you are worth it! Take it day by day and trust me you will be at goal in no time. I haven't had my surgery yet but I started the journey. Love you and god bless

Thank you so much girlie!!! See you over there!

OMG that would be a MIRACLE!!!! Okay I will be watching my weight! Definitely! I am READY for this life change, more ready then I've ever been! Do you have anymore advice or information??? Anything you tell me is like gold to me!
