Valentina, that is heartbreaking. I am so terribly sorry.

I could quote your entire post except it wasn't my mother, it was my grandmother. She was tiny. Constant criticism about me being too big and eating too much. Then when I was on a diet I was not eating enough. It was never the right thing! I was so frustrated. It's crazy now that I almost understand her.... After my own daughter started developing I have found myself saying things to her about watching her eating habits. I did this strictly out of love and concern, not wanting her to go through what I have my whole life. I caught myself one day and cried for a solid hour.... Sometimes those who Iove us and want to help us don't realize they can also hurt us with their "helpful" words. I would never call my baby a hurtful name. I truly don't think they realize how much it hurts. TELL HER.

So sorry to hear this. Hang in there!

...

Thanks y'all!

I'd probably just omit that part but I'm sure that's not the right answer ???? All joking aside, I wish you the best of luck. I was bulimic in HS and through my college years also.

Omgosh do NOT let him talk you out of it!!! My husband did 6 mos ago and now I'm 20 pounds heavier.... Wishing I would've just listened to my gut and done it then! Thankful I'm doing it now!

RN, DON

I'm not sure about most surgeons, but mine doesn't require a psych eval. Yes, I'm cash pay due to low BMI. As far as EGD, I had one several years ago - and the other test you mentioned aren't required for a patient my age, only pre op labs.

I don't have a surgery date either, but should be February too!! So excited!

Congrats!

Went in today for my consult. I was so excited and nervous! I should be having my sleeve in February if all goes as planned!!! *happy dance*

My BMI is 31.8 - I'm self pay & have my consult today!!! I am so freaking excited I can't stand it!!!

I'm just depressed and pissed after my husband guilt talked me out of it!! I should have flown out today ???? I promised him I would try truly dieting and exercising for real ONE TIME (I have never done it in a healthy way)... Haven't lost a single pound even though I've been doing Zumba, elliptical, swimming etc. I am so discouraged. But so excited for all of you!!! I started weight watchers today. I hate weight watchers but my scale hasn't moved with low carb. I don't think my body can handle that many cals

Premier is my favorite, except the chocolate which I literally can't choke down. The unjury was okay, but premier is better. I have some unflavored protein powder from genepro that's highly recommended here, haven't tried that yet.
