Well I'm in the pre-stage and I guess several family members and really close friends tried to convince me not to have it done. The closer it gets to my surgery they all seem to be coming around but I don't know I just hope that my pre warning them that I'm still going to need their support and love. So far they all seem to be on board even if they still don't agree. My husband didn't really get why I would have it but the more research I shared with him the more involved he became. I think in time people come around. Maybe your friends issue isn't even you at all. Maybe it's her own self esteem. I keep encouraging my family and friends to do clean eating with me after surgery. Trying to include them in my change because regardless of how our appearance changes our hearts never will. They just need to know that. Ask her why she's acting differently.

I was wondering what the recovery time frame was and how much time will I need to be off work? Thank you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just curious how much is the Bypass vs the Sleeve? I'm asking because they are changing my request from the Sleeve to the Bypass. The insurance company covers both but it just needs to be approved. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I haven't had my surgery yet however I remember an article I once read said something about Protein and Fiber determining the color of your stool. May be true or false but I would definitely call my doctor. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I mean if he was already in the extracting my wisdom teeth then there had to be a way to take out that darn sweet tooth! Lol So I am the person that silently throws darts at the person in the room that says "I have never been big on sweets" I'm always like "Dude, did your mother make you suck on lines with your Similac?" Well I'm trying to cut back and off of sweets. My pre-opp appointment is next Monday so I'm sure I'm going to be told when my "new normal" eating should begin. I just don't want to shock my system but slowly ease into not eating sweets ever again in life. But today I am struggling and it's the first day that I'm starting. Yeah Breakfast was a bust. IHOP French toast. lunch was Soup and dinner is stew but I really want to go to 7 Eleven and grab a "Big Kat" kit kat bar!!! What can you guys tell me on how to deal with this? How bad can dumping be? I mean I've been dumping my whole life is it nothing like what they talk about? Any vets out there? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was 2/1 but they had an OR conflict so they changed it to the 6th but then I decided that I wanted RNY instead of the Sleeve so now they are hoping I will not need another surgery date change. I am so excited!!!! I can't wait!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just read a response from someone on my thread who said that Bypass and Sleeve choices should be a personal choice and they really were right about that! Lol I just wish I had of seen that bit of advice when texting to my sister in-law who will be sleeved on 1/31 and she wanted to know why the Bypass for me since again "you're not that big" so I listed my reasons to the Bypass vs the sleeve for ME and she stopped texting. I'm not saying that the Sleeve is a bad choice but I know of a few people who have been sleeved and two years later they want a revision and they are trying to get approvals or they are trying to diet like they did post opp and losing the battle. I have heard from several people that they wish that they would of had the RNY over the Sleeve but I have never heard or seen anyone post about having the RNY and wishing that they had Sleeved instead... So my pre-opp appointment will be 1/16 and I will ask the surgeon about the mini RNY as well. I love this site. I haven't even been on Facebook as much!! Lol Thank you all for your comments and truths. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
