I'm already planning my reconstruction surgery in the DR for May 2017. At 43 I hoping by 45 to be in another entire space. Thanks for the recipe. wrkngonme2015

@ InItToWinIt2015 my surgery date is 2/24. Is the Bariatric Smoothie all you are taking during Stage 1? What supplements have you purchased? I'm assuming you purchased two big jars of Protein because you enjoyed the taste, which two did you purchase? Would you mind sharing your recipe? wrkngonme2015

Thanks for all of the awesome advice.

@ Juanita Hicks my surgery is scheduled for February 24th. I'm in Wauwatosa, WI. I too am having Bypass. Do have to do any pre surgery diet? Oh @ starbuckscoffeegal I see you are having surgery 1 day after me. I will be thinking of you as I leave the hospital. Good Luck to everyone that has received their surgery date.

Okay? Can anyone advise me what I should bring to the hospital with me the day of surgery, Feb. 24th? How long is the typical hospital stay? Does the area where the incisions are fade over time, should I use any specific type of cream? Sorry, I have so many questions that I hope to get answered before surgery.

@ sassy1963 I'm am so excited but I am so scared too. I am made at myself for completely going off my diet...today I began the high protein low carb diet. I will exercise too and see where I get before I have to begin my liquid diet which should be the 8th or 9th of Feb. Your weight loss is awesome...When I grow up I want to be like you. Please please please keep in touch. I am in Wauwatosa.

Thanks for the reply. Exercise helps that's good to know too..

Hello, I have not had my surgery yet. I am scheduled for 2/24. My HW 264 following 6 month supervised WL 241 CW not sure but I have gained weight...I went off the 1800 calorie diet. I have to try to get back to that weight if 241. Have anyone experienced extra skin following the rapid weight loss.

Saying a Prayer for you. Get well soon.

Congrats! !!!

Congratulations. ...Keep striving for your dreams.

@@SuzeMuze this is extremely discouraging....but I know I can not give up.

@Jerserose43 I may just do that....it can not hurt to try, right? The reason they provided me was that it is not medically necessary because I gave no underlying medical issues. Which is not true I am pre diabetic, I have fluctuating high blood pressure, most importantly I have 2 bulging disc's and a pain in the neck sciatica that causes me to have to be on the ER at least 1 a month for morphine shots to ease the pain and allow me to walk.
