May 26 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Finally approved for May 26... Hate I still have 6 weeks but happy that I can finally dream about the day Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If you are around 280, and have a job where you sit all day, how long after surgery did you return to work? I am not active, but I walk, have a sitting job, I am 28 and surgery will be on a Thursday, planning to go back to work Monday/Tuesday. It's a sitting job, I want to do, how many people have done this. I don't want to be the only crazy one Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am in Stafford. How was your surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm in the similar boat... My parents, sister and husband now. I will not tell anyone else. People are easy to judge and I don't want to hear it. I don't want to tell my boss, even thou I will be out for 2/3 days. I wonder if the Doctor will say on a note I got my gallbladder removed? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have acid reflux and doctor recommended gastric bypass. I wanted a sleeve bc they don't mess that much with my stomach but bypass fits me best Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It wasn't bad at all. They spray something on your throat before you sleep. They found an ulcer. Sucks bc now my surgery got pushed back Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Due to my acid reflex, they will be doing the gastric bypass and not sleeve Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was told the the purpose for liquid diet is to separate your stomach from organs and to be easy for surgery. I'm not looking forward to the liquid dirt Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am waiting for my date as well Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Had my EGD this morning and looks like I have ulcers. Anyone experience with ulcers? Due to GERD, I will get the gastric bypass. I am scared that the ulcers will push everything back and possibly not have a surgery. Has anyone gone through this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks everyone. I have a EGD today and due to GERD, I will be getting bypass. They also found ulcers in my stomach which will delay the surgery. I am so fed up on how I let myself gain so much weigt Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How long did it take you to go back to work? Specially those who have desk jobs. Please tell me what surgery you had done. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi, I am 27 years old, 5'2 and 280 lbs. I am waiting for my insurance approval but I am undecided on which surgery to get. At first, I was set on gastric, but I talked to a friend and she's happy she did a sleeve. I am looking for log term weight loss. Any input your would like to give me? Gastric or sleeve?
