Wow! You look great! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's interesting to me the different requirements among surgeons. My pre op diet is a lot less strict than some I have heard. They said I just need to stick to 1000 calories per day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I would also be interested to know. I am pre-op but also have PCOS and wondering how long it takes to hopefully have some improvements without medication. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think self pay for my surgeon in Utah is around 18,000 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I downloaded one called Baritastic that I believe has trackers for that. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone! Surgery Apr 20th Height 5'9" Highest weight 340 Current 309 Would love to be under 300 by surgery day! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Energy!! Getting through the day without feeling WORN OUT! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

We have a lot in common. I started at 340 & also with health issues. The PCOS was the last straw for me to decide having surgery. My surgery will be apr 20. Please don't let others discourage you. I experienced a little of that but I just kept praying for the right thing to do and the surgery was approved. I look at it this way- I don't know the exact outcome for what it will be like after surgery but I do know what will happen if I don't & I don't wish to continue living with those health issues. I wish you all the best! If you need to talk let me know! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine will be 1 overnight stay. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was in a store today and there were 5 kids that were being offensive. I asked them to watch their language in front of my daughter and one of the kids went on a two minute rant about me being fat. I was so sad. I know I shouldn't have let it get to me so much but I just can't wait until hopefully one day people can see me for more as a fat lady. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

. I have United Health Care. They have been good- just the surgeon's office was my struggle. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good luck! Getting to that point was the hardest part for me. Now I am remarried & couldn't be happier!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Looks like we have a few things in common. My surgery is scheduled for April 20th. We are also the same height & almost the same weight. I have kind of used the time to start preparing already but I am feeling like I just want it to hurry up. I almost feel like I am a kid waiting for Christmas!

"It's so permanent!" .... Ummmm yep. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh my goodness that is the worst thing I could imagine Valentina I am so sorry Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Praying for you & also for your kiddos going through this. I would say don't look back no matter what, because I would guess at some point he will come back regretful (as easy as it sounds I know it is hard for the first little while.) The Lord has something in store for you. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
