Omg!!! Your pics are so inspiring, my hw was 380, I can't wait to look as good as you!! You look amazing so beautiful!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I too have super long extra heavy periods along with unbearable cramping. I bled for 6 months once, and none of my Dr's told me they could help. Do you take any form of birth control? I've tried everything under the sun and they all make me bleed for extended periods of time 2 months + with no break. I finally did my research and found a pill my insurance will cover that is a 3 month pack and stops ur period. So for me this is a win since we were told not to get pregnant for 2 yrs and to help deal with my periods. Good luck Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

No sorry, I've been living with diarrhea every day for the last 6 yrs due to having my gallbladder removed, so if it did I never noticed. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App Do you take bile salts? It may help because without the gallbladder, you are not processing fat in your diet. The fat could be causing the diarrhea. Maybe research it and try it? Just a thought.I'll have to look into that just figured it was something I was just gonna have to live with. My mom had hers taken out the year before me and she doesn't have any of the issues I do so I just figured there wasn't much I could do for it. Especially since I've mentioned it to my Dr's and they haven't said or done anything. But thank you very much I'll look into that!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I live in Nashville (:Hey, so I don't have a surgery date yet, but I'm hoping for august. I'm using a Dr in the boro. I've completed all my requirements I just have to see the surgeon and the nutritionist and meet the goal amount he wants me to lose before surgery.

I finished up my 6 months the required supervised weight loss with my pcp mid june, I'm now scheduled with my first appointment to see my surgeon and the nut on the same day july 20th.( I was honestly hoping to have surgery as close to my b day as possible the 26th). I have met all other requirements, once I meet with the surgeon he will give me an amount of weight to lose and only if I meet that goal will he schedule surgery Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Ur so lucky!!! I'm completely jealous, and still so happy for all yall. I was hoping to have my surgery by the end of july, but I will only be meeting my surgeon for the first time then and on top of that he will require me to lose so many lbs before he will consider surgery. So maybe by the end of august? Gl to all of you!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Ok so if you go to Google type in premier Protein shake coupons 2016. And it may take you a min to find the right link I believe is something like redplum. Com. Any way they have 2 coupons one for $4 off a 4 pack (walmart) and one for $3 off a 4 pack (competitor) either way walmart will take them both, one pack per coupon and you can print out each coupon twice per electronic device. And I think you can do that once a week? Not 100% sure how often u can reprint. They expire the end of july so still good for a couple more weeks, I went a stocked up. I got 12 packs for $50 instead of $100. They are almost $ 8 here a pack. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Oh also, type into Google premier Protein shake coupons 2016, and you should be able to print out coupons (2 per electric device) to save $4 per 4 pack. The coupons should be good till end of july. Also on the same site they have a competitor coupon for $3 off a 4 pack which walmart will also take. You can print two of those off as well. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I got mine at Walmart 2 weeks ago!! I will have to say I can't stand the smell or taste if they aren't ice cold, to me it kinda reminds me of baby vomit. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

So I know the point of wls, is to change ur life and ur body for the better. Does anyone ever wonder if it changes everything about who they currently are? Will I stop being strong? I had to move my entire house by myself, will I still be able to handle what I need to? Will I still be able to protect myself? For the longest time my fat was my shield, that's why I stopped running so long ago... instead of running till things felt like they worked themselves out, I ate my way into a bubble. I'm scared to be vulnerable, that thought alone makes it hard to breathe. I've seen tons of pics of ppl after wls and I've seen so many who looked sick, I don't want to look sick. Anyone else a worry wort? What are your biggest worries?

I have UHC but unfortunately I have barely set my app with my Dr which is the 21st of july as is my nutritionist app right after that one the same day. I was told the Dr will give me a certain amount to lose while we wait on approval from ins. Once I lose it then we schedule surgery. If I find anything better out before you go back I'll share. If u still have more questions call ur ins. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

This is where I count my blessings that I work in a hospital so anything not covered by insurance will be wrote off. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

So I just got off the phone with my surgeons office and I'm seriously not thrilled. So I have to see him and the nutritionist but they are scheduling a month put so my appointment is July 21st. Which makes me sad cause I was hoping this would all go faster. So they lady told me that once I see the Dr he will give me a number of pounds to lose while we wait for insurance. And honestly hate this and am so mad cause in my six months I've struggled to lose 20 lbs. My mom went through the same office back in January and they told her to lose 30, and I'm so worried that I won't be able to do it. She told me they won't schedule my surgery until I do hit that goal. Ugh I hate this its making my tummy hurt. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

My coordinator is like that too. I can only get a word with her through email and sometimes she doesn't even answer me. It's super annoying but I just try to tell myself I'm not the only one she's dealing with /:I know it's just frustrating cause she was just out on vacation for two weeks, and then the last two weeks she has been out of the office by noon at least half the time. So I can't imagine how anything gets done if she is never there. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App I finally got an answer back on whether or not my coordinator got my packet to submit to insurance. It's funny how 5 words can make your day. Now I just have to wait for her to submit it lol. Even more wait ☹️ ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1467125201.713332.jpg Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Yay one step closer, called mine this am and had to leave a message. Hoping she will actually get back with me. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App I know the waiting is killing me but the little things make me happy because I know once she sees it it'll on be a matter of time before she submits it. I assume not too long because they want to make that 30 grand lol. I hope yours gets back to you too because the wait is so anxiety inducing, thinking about if something is going wrong! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Yeah that's no lie, all I can do is make my self sick with worry over being approved or not.

I've had in the copper iud and the arm insert both maybe me bleed for 4+ months. I've also taken the shot for 8+ yrs the big down side for that is its harder for you to lose weight while on it and made me gain about 10lbs for each yr I had it. The other down side is it takes soooo much longer for the shot to work out of your system then most other birth controls. Months other birth controls take 1-6 months to work out, the shot can take 1 yr +. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App
