This is my last thanksgiving before surgery and me and the hubby are doing all the cooking were doing turkey stuffing rolls green beans corn mashed potatoes cranberry sauce were going to have a ham and yams made by my brother in law and another side made by my other brother in law oh and my family Mac and cheese recipie

I have a question if you're not good at taking pills how are you gonna handle the vitamin regiment that's at minimum 4 pills a day

Hi congratulations to you and your wife for taking this big step I also have pcos and its one of my main Motivator's for getting the sleeve so good luck

Happy birthday hon sounds like you're having a great time

I think for the first question I don't really compensate for being fat I like what I like. I'm a big geek. Like huge I run in geek circles and go to conventions with my friends and spouse. And all my friends are geeks. As for changes when I get thin the only thing I think will change will be my sex life. And I'm a kinkster so once I lose the weight I can enjoy my kinky side more

This thread is awesome

I like my protein shakes well enough and I love the ravens and yeah I'm in the they suck this year club plus my god the injuruys this year wtf is with all the injuries

Luckily I have a NP that works with bariatric patients and she is awesome so you might want to look into that

I received a form from my insurance company. You can call them and ask if they have a bariatric Coordinator if they do there might be a form that your insurance can send you

I've told my hubby and his entire family and they frankly just rock they are all in the medical field and know how much I need to do something about this weight so they are all on board and I told my one best friend she's supportive my gaming group because their our closest friends and would know somethings up with my eating and I told my dad. He had no reaction other than oh well don't die please

I was told by my nut I could easily lose 100 pounds

I am a diabetic so I go to the bathroom quite a bit I also take really strong drugs for sleep because of phase shifting and insomnia so at night when going to the bathroom it can be tricky because my body wants to be asleep and I need to go pee lol

I had a major surgery to correct a problem in my ear back in July and I am having the same thing done next week and while it's not nearly as major as the sleeve surgery its pretty big. All I can say is yes walk walk walk. You will feel like garbage until you do and get your fluids in. Also for anyone about to get surgery ask for the patch that goes behind your ear to prevent nausea its fucking magical

My insurance requirements are 6 nut visits so seminar in August 2015 first nut class Sept 9th last nut class will be Feb 2016 hopefully surgery will be late Feb early march

@@TristanNicole i have the same thing the nurse from the insurance calling to chat with me about the surgery i love my nurse she is super positive

i work in insurance so i can answer your question usually authorisations are good for a amount of days say 30 60 or 90 days so if you got your approval say december 12 it would be good 90 days from that date. the surgical clearnaces i work with are usually good for 6 months at a time and blood work is usually good for 1-3 months at a time hope this helps

there is also another thing most people dont know about. some insurances have a bariatric cordinator. mine dose i have united health care ppo i called and asked about my coverage for bariatric surgery and they enrolled me in a program with a nurse and a whole healthcare team that works with bariatric patients so yeah definatly go that rout if you can

i was told by my nut that even mixing with milk it counted were you told something diffrent

I put 1000 in and used all of it

I'm going into therapy now to work on my issues with anxiety and food. I'm wondering if a month of therapy will be enough to pass my eval. I'm taking meds for my various issues and I've been on the same meds for quite a while

@@hollybower message me or text me 410 375-1202 my name is jess. I'll be your buddy I love making new friends. I live in Maryland and my team is awesome especially my nut she rocks where are you at

Thanks @. I feel awesome just getting rid of fried food and soda I hope I feel even more amazing once im able to limit the amount I eat Even more and walk farther my dog loves long walks. She's a Sheppard type breed and is very energetic.

My a1c was in the 8 ish range before taking the victoza. I also tried trulicity but found the needle to be too painful and stopped after 3 weeks. The needles for victoza are very thin smaller then those for testing my blood sugar

It's less time than you think I started in August and have until February for my nutritionist classes and I can't believe how much I'm learning. Plus all the friends I'm making. I only have one more appointment then I can start scheduling all the tests I need for the Surgeon. Seriously your not going to regret having to wait 6 months because it gives you time to work on 1 bad habit a month

I realized early on in my life that some people mostly women keep people as "friends" as a yard stick for seeing well at least I'm not as bad as so and so. Sort of a schadenfreude in a way once you stop letting your life be their schadenfreude then they lose interest in you. Same with reality TV
