  1. Hi! !! Iam 32 and about to have my very last two tests for my clearances before i get my surgery date!!! I had a 6 month supervised diet to do before surgery that my insurance requires so now Iam waiting on my surgery date!!!!!!!
  2. Iam finished with my 6 month supervised diet and all my clearances my insurance requires except for two that I will be done with the first week of august.Iam looking for someone who is going on this same journey! My family thinks Iam insane for wanting this surgery,,even though they all would benefit from it!!!! Now Iam just waiting on a surgery date!!!!!!!
  3. I haven't been on in a while, ,,this all has been very helpful!!!!
  4. I have a good 85-95lbs to lose, ,, if i exercise regularly, ,will there be a possibility of needing surgery for sagging skin???had anyone dealt with this? ?? I've been heavy and lost a lot of weight after my first child, ,,but i was a teenager then, ,, would i most likely need to concern myself with that now? ??
  5. that is terrible! !!! I can imagine your frustration with all those complications! !!!!!
  6. I am 31,,,i have around 80lbs to lose, so i was hoping to not lose to much of my chest, ,,lol lol
  7. Thank you! !! Why did you not like the band? ??
  8. My insurance covered the bypass or the band, ,,i opted for the bypass, ,but they didn't explain to much about which surgery would be better, ,,they were going over so much with me,,i still haven't seen the surgeon yet, ,they didn't tell me anything about any hoops, ,,just my 6 month supervised diet, ,then all my clearances,,and the psych eval,,,my bmi is pretty high for my height, ,and no other health issues
  9. Thank you! !! I i have just had my second appt,,so i still have a lot of questions for my dr,,, i was just curious if anyone had any input, ,, i will continue browsing the site
  10. I have some questions about which surgery would be best, ,the bypass or the band? ?? I would like to lose around 85-90lbs,, i know this sounds silly, ,,,but ,i dont want to just continue to lose weight forever. ........iam not sure exactly how that works??? And does anyone have any input on if you will lose your boobs as well????
