You look great! Congrats !

Believe it or not people do notice but just wont say say anything. There's those who are envious of others success and don't want you to know whatever your doing is working because your looking great, or there's those who actually keep their opinions/comments to themselves until curiosity starts killing them and they just have to know what your doing. But there's also some very clueless ones out there who wont notice anything even if its dying your hair from blonde to blue

Oh yea..I lie all the time now...well, when it comes to my weight Are you losing weight? Me: No, my clothes shrunk in the dryer, its tighter so makes me look thinner (lie) How are you losing so much weight? Me: Oh god, I live in the gym. I exercise 7 days a week, glad its paying off (lie) Thats all you eat? Me: Yea, not that hungry, Water filled me up (lie) You drink a lot of water! Me: Oh I love water! (Biggest b.s lie) Lies,lies, lies...but really I'd rather lie than to tell my business and be criticized and hear negative comments people have to say about having wls.

Hi sweetiediaz I know what your going through and can tell you its a rough road but it will get better. My husband left my son and I a few years back while I was fighting cancer. Biggest jerk move. It hurt, tore me up inside, years of taking antidepressents. Not only was I fighting cancer, I was raising a 1 yr old alone and had no job. It wasn't easy, I was so depressed but I can tell you now I'm happier then I've ever been. We deserve someone who will be there for us and support us with our life choices. Keep your head up and smile, remember your kids depend on you and it only hurts them to see you hurt. Keep your faith..it does get better!

I was sleeved 12/16/15 at Loyola with Dr Marcotte

Looking forward to being so much healthier but most of all to see the look on my ex husbands face who left me for a thinner woman!

Some hospitals offer financial assistance.

I too had hyperthyroid (which made me gain over 60lbs) , graves disease and unfortunately thyroid cancer twice last time being 2012. I'm was sleeved almost 2 months ago and am scared my thyroid issues will slow down my weight loss

I got mine the day before my surgery. I was embarrassed and ready to cancel but still went through with it. They gave me disposable undies with a long thick pad.

Right after surgery I noticed my vision changed too. I couldn't see anything up close and I started panicking then we noticed it was a side effect of the anti nausea patch that was behind my ear lol whew..

I started off with those too but can't tolerate the pills. I throw them up everytime

Use their negative comments as an inspiration to be successful and prove them wrong!

Nurse Jackie!

I'd say about 3 weeks when I started soft foods. I felt pressure in my chest and didn't realize it was a sign of full feeling. I thought it was gas lol. You will get the feeling soon

I felt the same way after surgery and I got scared too but as time passed and I kept recovering (I'm only a month out) I now feel and recognize that full feeling.

Eating like every meal was my last! Oh yea and thyroid issues but mostly me pigging out.

The Dr's office gave me a list of what I should be taking, maybe yours may have one too. If you have BCBS they cover Nascobal a B12 nasal spray and it comes with your baraitric vitamins for a $25 copay

I saw both as well. Mine was 1st visit ARNP then my dr then ARNP. I have BCBS and I was covered. You should call your insurance to be sure though.

Congrats! Can't wait to get there myself. Only 1 month out but down 30 pounds!
