Can you have anything else? Mine allowed 1/2 cup cream of wheat sugar free pudding low fat yogurt, and v8, those helped me feel full.

Well I know with bypass you gotta watch your sugar intake, I was told if sugar was in the first three ingredients to stay away. Not so with sleeve.

I am choosing bypass because if the greater weight loss, and yes people do convert from a sleeve to a bypass later on if it doesn't work, so I wanted the final final procedure, no conversions for me! Also if you have heartburn then sleeve can make it way worse! Someone said this and it makes sense: the sleeve is for someone who can control what they eat but just needs help with portions, bypass will also give you that healthy fear of dumping syndrome if you eat bad food. Not everyone dumps but at least you'll have that fear in your head.

March 28 will come up soon! We'll be on the loser bench!

I am also March 28 with a two week liquid diet. Can't wait! Rny

Congrats you can do it! I have the same date as you! Rny March 28.

My bmi did go below 40 and I was approved with no comorbities.

I fell below 40 and was approved with no comorbities .

Thanks!

Thanks Thejeweledsleeve !

Good luck! I'm sure you will fly through with those comorbities!

March 28, I just found out today! Yippe!

It is especially since my bmi went to 39 after doing the diet and I was worried with no comorbities !

It was exactly a week.

I got approved today! So freaking excited! Surgery scheduler should call today or tomorrow! Cannot wait!

I can answer the last question, the Bariatric program is usually very helpful as this is all they do! They check exactly what needs to be done and they'll tell you. It's a win win for everyone involved so they are good about checking on it.

How do you know the difference between head hunger and real? If my stomach is growling is it always real? Is there a way to find out without eating food? I'm still preop. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine was just a sit down with the psych. It took 15 minutes. She asked why I wanted the surgery, what I've tried in the past, who I had for support, she wants to understand that you understand this isn't a magic bullet (not brain surgery) they like it if you called it a tool. Because a tool only works when you pick it up and use it properly. Not written test for me. She said she doesn't do that anymore. Just talks to people. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm so excited to be on to the next phase! Next Thursday the 19th, the nut and surgeon meet and they submit my paperwork to insurance! Pray for an approval! I'd like it quickly but I'll be happy with any approval! It feels so real now! I got some butterflies in the nut's office today! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
