Has anyone ever had tooth loss after having the sleeve? Sent from my SM-T330NU using the BariatricPal App

I hope to have VSG soon. One last appointment for insurance. I think if people ask me when I am going to stop losing weight I'll tell them I'm trying to get to my birth weight. Hahaha

I hope to have surgery in November. I don't feel like lying forever so if someone asks I'm just going to say it's personal. I figure most people won't ask again.

I am in my 6th month for my insurance requirement and I have only told my husband, kids and sister. In six months my sister has never asked me about the surgery. I told her the other day to speak now or forever hold your peace. She said one word "nervous?" Literally one word in a half a year. I don't want to hear a thing after the surgery. I'm not even going to tell her my surgery date when I have one. I'm glad my husband is supportive because I've got no support there.

How about "well enough about my weight, let's talk about yours"

Oh my gosh, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I read people's posts and they all seem so positive and it seems like it's so easy for them. If it was easy for me I wouldn't be fat. Time is just dragging and I keep thinking if I could have had the surgery months ago I would already be a smaller person. But I can't do anything about that so I just have to wait.

I'm in the six month period for my insurance and I feel like I just suck at keeping on track. Anyone else do terrible during the waiting period and then be successful with the sleeve? If I could do this by myself I wouldn't be trying to have surgery. How do I stay on track during this long wait?

My doctor flat out told me that if I lost more than 24 pounds during my six month period I would be denied by my insurance. I've lost 6 so far.

I can go ahead with the surgery despite the Lyme disease

My husband and I went on a camping trip several weeks ago. I was unfortunate enough to contract lyme disease and fortunate enough to have caught it early enough to hope for a full recovery. Does anyone have any information about lyme disease and wls? I am pre op hoping to get approved and have surgery this fall.

Thanks for the replies. I'm having s flare up and have to have my scope soon. Looking at surgery for October or November and hope to be healed by then. I have also had esophagitis. Have you ever had back pain with it? I'm feeling pretty crappy. My own fault. Been drinking way too much Diet Coke and it always ends up with some kind of stomach or esophagus pain.

Will I still be able to have the sleeve surgery if they find I have gastritis when I have my scope?

If the sleeve is a relatively new procedure (one that I am hoping to have) why do I remember the phrase stomach stapling from years and years ago? Does anyone else remember that phrase?

I'm going to have to steal that line a few times in my life. ☺ Sent from my SM-T330NU using the BariatricPal App

My problem is my metabolism is so messed up from yoyo dieting I don't even lose weight anymore. So I have no motivation from the scale. In 3 months I have lost a pound and gained a pound and a half. I can eat 1500 calories or 2000 calories and there is no difference on the scale. I have to use my fitness pal and print my food diaries. It is difficult sometimes to keep my eye on the prize when nothing is happening Sent from my SM-T330NU using the BariatricPal App
