  1. This is just too much, I love it! I can sooo see this happening to me and my husband lhao! (Laughing his ass off) ???? This has nothing to do with WLS however...when I was a teen at a friends house she was mowing the yard and was being goofy, she turned n thought she farted (I didn't know at the time hehe) nope she ran as fast as she could bowlegged to the bathroom. It was hilarious and I was wondering what she was doing so I went in n she was in the shower, yep she shit herself. Damn, them snake turds just sneak up on ya lol!! Knocking on wood as I write this ☆Jeni☆
  2. Well on the plus side...not constipated! ???? ☆Jeni☆
  3. I had a 6 month weight loss for my ins also. What the woman did was count the 1st meeting with the surgeon as my 1st visit then the next time my visit with the nut was the actual 1st weight one. So it equals 7 visits and 6 weights or months. It's crazy just jump through there hoops and let them approve you my last one is a week from tomorrow!! I'm so ready to get this new journey started lol I plan on bugging ins too ☆Jeni☆
  4. So I went home and apologized perfusly to the husband and he hugged me n said there was nothing to be sorry for. He wasn't mad and he knows I'm gonna be emotional, he is such an amazing man I am really blessed to have him. Couldn't stop apologizing though lol I felt so bad. Feeling so much better now though ???? a good cry n release does wonders ???? ☆Jeni☆
  5. @@KristenLe, yeah and with the husband as he did n I knew he would he said things too so maybe it will be better to just rip the stiches n let it out. Hell what we've been through it can only make things even more better. Thank you
  6. @Inner Surf Girl, no haven't done that yet but have started eating cleaner less chocolate sweets n bread trying to get ready for the pre-op. Lord help me I will have everyone I love ran off lol (so not funny though) ???? Yes..this should be fun lol (not really) lol Thank you, I appreciate that and I'm gonna join that group ASAP lol ????????
  7. Not sure that's what it's called but omg! I have cried n cried today about stuff that happened yrs ago. Told my husband I can't believe I let all the stuff happen that did, that he made me feel worthless and I let him do it. That I still to this day don't feel I am good enough and that I am trying to make sure to do everything right so he won't leave. That I allowed myself to become this way so big and just feel like a whale. I think I have lost it today, what's going on? I usually hold all that in, the way I was raised I guess always to be strong. By the way, we have been getting along great, no problems and it was cheating on both our parts. Just don't know what happened today to bring all of this up. Maybe it's because my last app is next Wednesday and it's nerves kicking in. Just wondering if it's happened to anyone else before surgery?
  8. Congratulations to you both!!! Sorry, to you all 3!! Woohoo!!
  9. @@twinmom2015, no I just started this thing at 312.5 n right now I'm at 320. So I wanna get back down at least to where I was so there is no reason for ins to deny me. Just a personal preference. They did say if you gained you could be denied I just don't wanna try em ya know.
  10. I am tossing up sleeve vs bypass. My last app is the 25th, one week from tomorrow ???? can't wait. The 6 month wait is killer it actually went quick though, this past month has taken forever it seems. I have to lose 8lbs by then so I'm at least the same weight that I started off with. ☆Jeni☆
  11. @@KristenLe, I think she was just saying for people that are overweight from eating wrong. Of you read back you did say you would have to change your habits as we all would some need more deterrent than others. If you can do it with the sleeve and your not afraid at some point you will start choosing bigger portions or eating more bad stuff than good then by all means choose the sleeve. We are all trying to get help with our weight n there's plenty of ways to do it, many different ways for the different people. I don't think it was a bad thing by any means but I'm just me ☆Jeni☆
  12. @@CrissyCakes whatever you decide I wish you the best and good luck you will do great and it's not for everyone at all and thats ok too :-) ☆Jeni☆
  13. @@CrissyCakes the dumping is a consequence of what your not suppose to be eating. To much sugar or even carbs n maybe fat I'm not 100% sure have read about it just not sure. If you don't eat that "bad" stuff you should be fine. As far as the sleeve I thought the same thing, you can eat all the stuff you used to just not as much supposing but I don't even wanna have that option as that's what git me where I am now, a bite here a bite there a lil this a lil that n well hello portions for 2 the bypass is more strict n thats what I know I need ☆Jeni☆
  14. @@CharlotteKat that's why I have decided to do the bypass. I know me and I know having the "dumping" is what I'm gonna need as consequences, kinda like a "Wth are you doing" to myself lol my bmi is 50 however I never wanna be this way again and if I get off track I want my tool to make sure I know I jacked up so I know what not to do again. ☆Jeni☆
  15. Congratulations @@hazelzay ☆Jeni☆
  16. @@CrissyCakes even minus the drugs as long as it was like my 1st lol the 2nd was unreal amounts of lower back pain ???????????? hehe I would so ask and I 2nd the rest no band you don't want something man made in your body like that for yrs, IMO. Yep, I think I just literally made up my mind, bypass for me I'm 5'5" 1/2 n 300 ☆Jeni☆
  17. @@CrissyCakes I have thought about it and I don't wanna be this way again, ever! I need the extra push to keep me on track like the dumping cause I hate to be sick, would rather give birth than be sick lol. I think this will definitely be the extra that I need. My bmi is 49-50 so I think I will be ok, what is yours? ☆Jeni☆
  18. Umr and was sleeve, think I'm going with the bypass now though ☆Jeni☆
  19. Congratulations! ! ☆Jeni☆
  20. Congrats to you both!! Looking good! ☆Jeni☆
  21. @@KristenLe I plan on talking with them for sure as this is my final appointment this month actually about 2 1/2 weeks just nerves I think ☆Jeni☆
  22. I'm not real sure to be honest, I just know I don't wanna fail at this. I am tired of being this way and there's alot to do n alot goes on and it's work I just wanna be successful and do what's best for me. I know I cheat when on a "diet" so I don't wanna be able to do that and something that reinforces that it's not good will be great for me ☆Jeni☆
  23. @@FatDan&TiredOfIt, dumping and a more strict eating habits could be a good thing for me. I'm just so confused now. Thank you ☆Jeni☆
  24. Ok so I am 5' 5" 1/2 I weigh 312 and I was thinking I wanted the sleeve, now I'm thinking maybe the GB. I'm so confused! I am on meds for HBP, and Prozac for anxiety plus Water pills to help with BP. I am not pre diabetic I do like sweets though just not all the time. I think my thing is breads n pastas and not moving enough obviously. Just needing some input from some that have had this done and if you was debating what did you choose and why. Also I will be getting my surgeon's advice just looking for others also. Thank you ☆Jeni☆ ☆Jeni☆ Quoted myself, sorry for the messup ☆Jeni☆
