  1. I just got a positive pregnancy test last night. I am just a week shy of being 6 months post op. I am terrified, and don't know where to begin. This is my first pregnancy ever. Very unexpected. I reached out to an obgyn & my surgeon. I have yet to hear back from either one. Am I supposed to be jumping on a prenatal right away? Do I quit my current Vitamins? do I take anything more? How should i be going about eating? More? add in carbs (i'm a very low carber)? Like I said I have no idea where to begin, and I don't want to jeopardize myself or the pregnancy anymore than I have already. Thanks.

  4. I hear yah. My first surgery too. I think thats why I'm 10x more terrifed over anything else. Wednesday is almost here. Its all starting to become real!
  5. I know the feeling. I'm terrified too. Nerve racked. My surgery is on the 28th, the count down is on. More so for you, but good luck - you got this! =)

  10. Yes, my doctor offers Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacements. On them for 15 days before surgery. Today is day 1, so far so good! =) Good luck on your journey thus far!!
  11. So excited, yet extremly terrifed!
  12. Is being eligible for the service of gastric sleeve, the same as being approved? I got a call from my surgeon's office letting me know I was approved for surgery, and now just need to complete their requirements (pulmonlogist visit) before I can get a date. I recieved a letter copied to me, that my surgeon recieved from the insurance company saying I was eligible for the services. Was just focused on that word "approved" so was wondering if that meant the same thing! ha ha.
