Get chantix from your doctor! Best way to quit!

Thanks everyone. My Children are 8 and 7 yrs old. I do not have a date yet I am in month 3 of 6 month. I am thinking surgery will be March.

So my nurse stated she wanted to make sure I have support after surgery. So I know I will need someone to drive me to and from follow up appt. What other kind of support do I need? I an a big loner and have a few close friends. I am a single Mother so it is just me and my kids.

I Have been having a lot of hip and lower back issues. I haven't been able to even walk very good. My PCP told me to stop working out! Ugh I don't know what to do I really like my workouts!

Thank You!!!!

My Company is changing insurance to United Healthcare! any one have this coverage for your surgery? How hard was it to get approved?

I have celiac disease and my doctor said the only surgery he would do was the sleeve because it does not mess with my intestines. Hope it helps!

What keeps you going on this Journey? Mine I can't wait to be able to go running!!!!!! I want to run a marathon!

So I do not own a scale!!!!! I work in a ER so I weight myself at work. I try to only weight my self 2 times a month. Once at the NUT and once at work. I got so frustrated if the scale don't move and I eat!!!!!! So I am thinking I should keep it out of my house after surgery too! I want to judge my weight loss by my new abilities and not numbers. Numbers I seem to loss my mine with! Anyone think it is a good idea or should I give in and buy one for after surgery?

A tooth infection can be very dangerous. Even cause death. I have seen it in the ER. So 10 days of antibiotics. Then a dentist to fix it and you will be back on track! Trust me you don't want to mess with a infected tooth! Keep your head up! They did the best thing for you. You got this!

THANK YOU ALL. A LOT OF GOOD IDEAS! MY PARENTS ARE BOTH PASSED SO I ONLY REALLY HAVE MY EXHUSBANDS MOTHER THAT HELPS WITH THE KIDS. I AM THINKING OF STAYING AT HER HOUSE FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER SURGERY.

So I just started my 6 month supervised dieting! Hoping to get my sleeve done in March 2016. I am a single mother of a 8 year old girl and a 7 year old boy. It is pretty much just us 3. I will have minimal help after my surgery. I want to be as prepared as possible. I haven't taken a day off in over 2 years so I have vacation time for my surgery and also got a second job to save up extra money if needed. What foods and supplies should I stock up on so I don't depend on someone driving my to the store? What was the thing you wish you did before surgery because you are to wore out to do after? What things would I want at home to get me through the first 2 weeks? All and any advise is welcome from what to take to the hospital to what to wear at home!! Thanks!! Single mom entering a new territory, a lot nervous!
