I love the way you handled that! ???????????????????? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

@ Sweetheart don't beat yourself up. We all have the same struggles, and set backs. Start anew today. We are all here to support eachother love. It took me some time to stop eating like crazy too. I was scheduled to have surgery initially on June 24th. My surgeon only required me to lose 10 lbs 1month before surgery. When I went to pre opt a few days before my surgery date, I had gained 5 lbs from overeating and having food funerals, and my surgeon cancelled my operation. I felt so ashamed and defeated but I regrouped, started focusing and lost the 10lbs. I needed to lose, and I'm now sceduled for Oct. 8th. ???? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

Yay! I'm scheduled for Oct. 8th. I hear some speak of a 2 week liquid diet. I wasn't required to do that with Kaiser. I guess everyone's requirements are different. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

A healthier me 1. Being able to walk with out exhaustion 2. Being able to make my kids happy and proud. 3. Have more energy and enthusiasm in life 4. To be able to go to sky zone, swimming, and do other fun and amazing things with my children. 5. To feel better mentally and physically 6. To have a healthy heart 7. To be able to sit up with out the pain in my back, and sides, and shoulders 8. To really feel good about me on the outside 9. To look in the mirror head on and like what I see. A smaller me! 10. To be able to cross my legs 11. To stop holding in my stomach 12. To just be able to inhale and exhale and just breath easy 13. To shop for clothes and feel stylish 14. Too feel sexy on the outside 15. To fit in and to feel confident 16. To take a full body selfie and feel good about it 17. To wear shorts and Tank tops, and skinny jeans and statement Tee's 17. To sit in the nail shop chair and not feel uncomfortable 18. To increase my self esteem 19. To feel confident and good about myself to allow love in 20. Ive always been depressed about my weight and its caused me to have low self image and its made me to feel insecure, and unworthy. I want to be skinny, smart, and pretty, and confident. Not the the fat lady that's always taking care of others because she feels like she's not worthy or is too fat to be loved and respected and cared for. Tired of being the fat lady the room alone and lonely. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

Yes, and the classes are so much fun! You'll meet amazing people, and the support is amazing. The 3 months go by so fast and the classes really help you to kick start healthy eating and weightloss. I reallyvenjoyed Options classes.???? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

Hollywood Kaiser has sooner start dates for options. Playa Vista Kaiser options classes start new classes every 2 month or so. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

Oh. And I called Kaiser myself the same day my primary referred. I didnt wait for them to call me. I was so excited that as soon as I left my primary after she emailed over my referal I called to see when the next options class was, and started options asap.

My procedure is being dine at West LA. But my primary doctor is in the Kaiser bldg in Inglewood. Yes the thev12 week options classes are done in Playa Vista. It takes a moth after completion to be scheduled. But during the 12 week classes they do blood work on you to make sure that you dont have Hpylori which is an infection in the lining of the stomach. It causes you to have complications as far far as healing goes in your procedure, so theyvtedt you in options class for it. If they do findvthatvyou have hpylori its sets your surgery back by 2 months because thats how long it takes to be treated. I found out I had h pylori during options class, had 2 be treated for it twice, and it set me back 4 months for surgery. They test you for it, it takes a week to tell if you have it, then you take antibiotics for 10 days, then you must wait 8 weeks after you finish the antibiotics to be retested. If you retest for it to early say like 6 weeks after you finish the meds. It will show that its still in your stomach, and then they retest you again and start the 2 months treatment process again. I tested positive for hpylori 3 times, so that's a 6 months delay. I finished my options classes in late Feb. My hpyliri test finally came back negative in June.

I take Lexapro for anxiety so it helps. Talk to a psych about your anxiety. Get a prescription for anxiety issues. Its helped me tons. I'm being sleeved on Oct. 8. Had I not been treatingvmy anxiety issues I wouldn't been stable enough to decide to get my procedure. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

Congrats! My date is also Oct. 8th. For me there was no real insurance struggle. I decided to go for it, talked to my primary, she didn't hesitate to refer me for the sleeve. I was required to do 12 weeks of bariatric surgery preparation classes, and then I was ready. The proccess took 3 months from the time I made the decision to to being able to pick a surgery date. I'm with Kaiser by the way. ???? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

You'll be losing weight so fast that if you do buy clothes in those sizes you want be able to wear them for long. ???? my sister did that, buying clothes in future sizes. Its funny because she went through those sizes so fast that she forgot to wear those size 14 jeans before she shrunk down to a 12. ????????????????????
