I am going through the process now . 1 yr food log and gym membership ? Are those required ? Everything else looks good. My Dr is requesting endoscopy / upper GI . I am planning to get the sleeved. Hopefully around March or April 2017 What about Short term Disability insurance / FMLA ? Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

If everything goes well I will be having my sergury in March or April. My online class starts in January for 16wk .

Congratulations your sergury was successful I'm happy to hear that you are doing well no pain you are walking and getting some food down. Keep up the good work . So far I've met with Katlen, NUT, and I atended class 1 . I appt to meet with phyotheapist in December, so everything is moving along pretty fast. I'm having a problem with is sticking to a diet plan, I would like to lose 10-15 lbs before the sergury. My fitness pal is not working for me . I need more structure . Maybe I should go back to Weight Watchers I had some success with them in the pass. Nut said as long as I don't gain weight I will be ok. Thanks for the reply. Take good care.

Hello everyone , I am AA women living in Midwest . I'm having my sergury at NW w Dr Nagle. I met with the ANP today and found out the process takes 6 months and I will only loss 60% of my weight which is 60lbs .Yup ????I was hoping for at least 80 -100 lbs she said with diet and exercise I can lose more weight. I'm 54yrs old weigh 260 lbs I have Hypothyroidism , Back pain. But to go though all of this and only get down to 200lbs , I don't know , it's seems like it's not worth it. I m not going to give up. So am going to try and lose a little weight before my sergury , I have 5 month so hopefully I can lose 10-15lbs . lbs.
