Post op weight loss
It's a stall that many of us go through. Mine lasted about three weeks. Our bodies have gone through a serious change and needs to adjust and heal. Be patient, you'll be seeing some wonderful changes soon! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Surgery date Nov 21st!
Oh, I hope it doesn't create an issue for you. How do they find out if it will or not? I have requested my surgical records to be sent to the WLS surgeon. I have all my pre-op appointments on the 15th. Hopefully I'll find out on the 15th when I meet with the surgeon. A lot depends on the type of mesh they used for the hernia repair. (Certain meshes allowed the intestines to adhere to the mesh (adhesions)). I'm also prepared to not find out for certain till I wake up from surgery. I'll be okay with either surgery as long as I can get one of them! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Where are all the 50 something bypass patients?
I'm 50 and scheduled for November 30th! If my insurance would have covered WLS prior to this year, I'd have gotten it done much sooner. Now it's finally going to happen! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
