Lol... I love this. It takes me back to my philosophy 6 class. Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

Dr. Chin had his calendar with his scheduled surgeries and checked his closet appt. He asked if that was ok or if I wanted to check for a later day. He also asked if I wanted to be added to the move up list. Which is a list of people who dont mind having their surgery earlier if there are any cancellations. But even when you get your surgery date, he asks you to set another appt 1 week prior for pre-op. Mine is Nov 18 Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

There's a reason for everything right? Even for waiting than expected. Hang in here and keep us posted too! Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App *longer than Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

Im nor sure how or why. The wait is frustrating. Just be by your phone to answer that call, beacuse they have so many patients they will just move down their list. Which can extend your wait time. I can't believe I started this journey back in April and finally the day is more of a reality. You'll get that call sooner than you know it. Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

On 9/26 I was cleared by mental health physician. Tomorrow I have my appt with the surgeon. Im pretty stoked. Feels like Ive been waiting forever. Hopefully tomorrow I will have a surgery date! Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

I should be celebrating that I finally recieved the telephone call to schedule my mental health appt. Im kind of bummed that I have waited 4 weeks after my class to get this appt to find out my appt is late Sept. This means I may have to wait 4 weeks to meet with surgeon and another 4 weeks to have the surgery lol.... Im just excited the anticipation has really got to me.

I know that feeling. Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

How soon after the 12 week options programs will I receive my surgery date? I have completed all labs, attended my mandated support group and had kept all appointments scheduled thus far. I guess I'm getting anxiously excited as I enter my half way mark to completing my 12 week classes.

I checked out Youtube vids too and your right, they are outdated with no recent updates. Ive been on instagram and pinterest lots of info and ideas. Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

Alot of health plans require that. I know before surgery they are gonna have us on a liquid diet only to shrink our livers to help surgery a lil easier Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

I loved the classes so.much info. Im better prepared. Im currently waiting on my psych eval. Its only been 8 days since my last class, so we shall see how much longer for the next step. Indeed its an awesome opportunity. Im from Chino Hills are you nearby? Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

Oh you can buy their shakes, but not mandatory. Everything is basically how your changing your food choices at home. They do encourage premier Protein (sam club, walmart, winco, costco,winco) but thats really after surgery,cause you should be getting protien from regular foods.

Hi! They encourage you to practice what they teach you throughout the classes. Things like label reading, yes taking Vitamins now, breaking bad habits, choosing the right foods, slowing incorporating exercise. They also encourage to eat slowly, drink lots of Water (staying hydrated) basically if you practice what they teach and put effort you will loose weight. They weigh you at every class. They didnt ever say you have loose or no surgery. But they classes are clear that if you want the change you have to make it work for you. I gave up all sugary drinks. I drink water and crystal light and that alone I was dropping 1lbs a week. They also encourage to increase your Protein intake. As it is beneficial post op and ever after.
