Really? I just read this and my mouth is hanging open... I'm not sure what you are looking for as far as "advice" here but your husband spying on you, In my eyes is the least of your problems, in my book. Putting aside all of the dysfunction in this relationship. I'm just a little... Ok a lot freaked out that you say you caught him MAKING DRUGS and you continue to stay there with your 15 month old child??? I don't give a f**k if he "worships you like a goddess" you need to get your child away from a dangerous potentially deadly situation.

I just need a lot of prayer right now cuz I don't want this to send me into a dark depression. I have been miserable for years about my weight and I was actually seeing the light at the end of the tunnel anticipating the surgery.

I can tell you that I work for a hospital and with out insurance and hospital benefits we are able to have bariatric surgery for pretty much free so I work with TONS of people that have had it done. I have never noticed hairloss on any of them. They did say that they noticed it on themselves but other people don't really notice. So that's kinda positive right???

It sounds, based on your last post, that you just made a post to have people pat you on the back and tell you it would be ok. The surgery may (or may not, it's different for everyone) control your physical hunger, but it does absolutely nothing for your head hunger. You are still going to face the challenge of saying no to yourself when presented with something you shouldn't eat. I agree that the pre-op diet is tough, but you have it so much easier than many do. I couldn't have any food. I think you should at least let your surgeon know, it would be better than him/her not knowing before doing surgery on you.

I have to say that it's my opinion that you are totally overreacting on this one. I HIGHLY doubt anyone is stupid enough to think you are RESPONSIBLE for their weight gain. (Well, my husband might blame me a bit because after my three bite, I put my leftovers on his plate. HA!)
I think this is a way of complimenting YOU while putting themselves down. I can't imagine they think your fat particles are flying through the air and landing on them.

I am planning for November. Fingers-Crossed!!! I won't know for sure until we submit for approval next month.

It's usually the last thing on my mind with or without surgery lol but my man always has it on his mind

Praying for a safe f e surgery and speedy recovery!

best of luck to you! isn't it awesome that with technology today we can keep in touch with our support groups even while we're in a hospital bed???
speedy recovery!

My doc's words were that he "didn't operate down there" so he didn't care. Ha!

Thanks for sharing your story! I'm rooting for you!

Alex, I'm using the App....and it has been awful. So sad for me because I love looking at Bariatric Pal but not when it freezes every time I click something.

I had my EGD with stomach biopsy done September 12th. I've had them before and knew what to expect, but I can tell you the KC Bariatric Surgery Center (on Prairie View Parkway, Lenexa, KS) was SUPERB! I had to go no food/drink after midnight. No gowns or lab tests were required beforehand. I stayed in my street clothes the whole time. The nurse administered a small anesthetic before placing the IV line, which was practically pain free (other than the little bit when the needle first went into my arm). The procedure went quick and I hardly remember anything other than the nurse helping put the guard in my mouth and spraying the back of my throat, which was painless. I had a little soreness (and not what anyone would consider pain) afterwards because of the biopsy, but nothing that stopped me from eating or drinking anything afterwards.
Good luck and I'm sure you'll do fine.

Yes, you have unrealistic expectations.

Are you serious? You've lost more than most people ! I would love those results! Good luck, and don't worry, you're doing better than fine.

....take pictures with my kids and not hide behind them!
