Questions to the ones who Had GASTRIC BYPASS!
TAJ718 replied to Missbeauty16's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Great post! Great advice too!! I am still waiting on my approval... and it seems I am not nervous about the surgery at all, but the thought of eating and making decisions on my own after surgery and sticking to the plan after surgery TOTALLY FREAKS ME OUT!!!! Can I do it? What if I fail? What if I screw up? Will I know what to do? Will I be able to tell if I am full? Will I be able to resist the cravings? Am I strong enough for this? No lie... totally freaking out and I am not even approved yet. Anyone else go through this? -
I am still waiting on a couple things, my 2nd dietician appointment, haven't even submitted for my insurance approval yet either... but I am doing everything I can to be "as prepared as I can be" I gave up coffee, working on pop, I have significantly decreased. I am watching my sugar intake and increasing my protein amounts. I guess, I am still mostly scared and nervous about the after surgery diet. Can I do it? Can I stick to it? Can I follow it exactly? What if I do it wrong? How do you all feel? Do you feel prepared? Thanks!

How's everyone doing!?

You don't look like you need weight loss surgery!

I agree and LOVE all of you for this post!!! I am 5' 6" and weigh 236. I hear the "You wear it well" also... Gee, thanks! I feel like Shrek, but... yea thanks! I have very high cholesterol, I am always out of breath, and feel uncomfortable in most of my clothes. My BMI is 38. I am waiting on my 2nd dietician appointment and then its up to the insurance approval. I am ready for this. #goodluckeveryone -
Now I wait... 2nd dietician appointment isn't until 10/25... tick tock... tick tock.

@Armygalbonnie that's what I have been working on! I have been giving up the caffeine/coffee, working on reading more food labels, trying to fit in a 30 minute elevated heart rate work out (for me, this seems to be the hardest so far!!) I work too jobs, run a house, single mom of a two year old!) I don't know where to squeak in another 30 min!) I know... don't sit and relax, wake up earlier... but damn I am beat!!

Bad new in this situation is great news!! Just got my lipid panel back and thank goodness for high cholestorol! Hopefully this will be enough for my approval!
-
Well... met with Dr. July, she doesn't think my esphogeal issues combined with my low BMI will be enough to get approval through my insurance.
I had been fasting so I had my blood drawn to check my cholesterol and if that doesn't come back as "high" then we try a sleep study, but I don't snore... and I think I sleep fairly well. I am not feeling so good about getting approved. Ugh... -
@@Sumaire Did you just happen to have a sleep study done or was it recommended by someone? I am meeting with my surgeon on the 22nd, but I would like to get all my ducks and appointments scheduled and in a row... just to be prepared!

Has anyone been nervous about what their body will look like after... like maybe my butt isn't so bad now, what if I lose all the good things about my shape/body/me!? Am I just overthinking!?
