That is the exact situation I am in too. Surgery date in July or August. I am right at 40%, and need to maintain just to make sure I don't drop below and risk that chance of being denied. Really stinks cause I am loving my new fitbit! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Not a dumb question at all! I'm still learning too, but so far, I LOVE my fitbit!! You don't have to do anything special, just as long as it is on, it is tracking your steps! You should get a bunch in with Zumba! Send me your email address if you want to do a weekend challenge with us! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Yay!! What is your email? I can add you both right now and start a challenge for tomorrow if you want! I will send the challenge invite once you are added. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

That is great!! Congratulations! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations! That is awesome - nice job!!! No wondering "if" here!! Can't wait for my revision. July (or august) can't come soon enough! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Normally I love it, but this was very odd! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Exactly!! Let me know when you are up and running with your fitbit and I can add you to our challenges! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

You look great! What an awesome accomplishment for you. Be proud!! I feel the same way about no way in hell can I do it now, but that is my goal. I can walk a 5K, but I want to RUN one!! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Yep!! I didn't "win" the first challenge I participated in yesterday, but it still pushed me to make my step goal for the day. I did that and that made me happy! It was fun and our group of peeps were so nice and supportive! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Absolutely. Just let me know and I can add you to ours if you want. I'm just starting too. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I will set a weekend up one right now too! I have mine set up at 10k, but only cause it was a "standard goal" that my dr recommended. I think I will give it a week and lower it if I don't feel up to that much just yet. It's a good feeling just to be movitated to move it! I might not be ready for 10k just yet, but I can assure you that just by having this on me, I have more steps than I did 3 days ago. I love it. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Done! ???? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I'm looking at it as motivation to just get moving. I'm pretty certain I won't be winning any myself, just thought it'd be fun! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

It is Water resistant (sweat, rain and splash proof). But not swim proof or showerproof. I think they do make other types that can be worn while swimming. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Disregard...... it was in reference to another thread that got crazy by that simple statement... apparently my quoting feature to include the intended comment didn't work... or quite possibly operator error on my part. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Thread re-activater! I am in Macomb County, live in Warren. Heading for band to sleeve revision in July or August. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

My insurance co requires the first scenario you gave (with the May date). Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I love my Trek! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Have you already had your band removed, or are they doing the removal and revision at the same time? I am having my band removed and sleeve revision in one surgery (that's the plan anyway!) Aiming for the end of July! Good luck!! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App I had my band removed in 2013! I had a terrible slip and was very very sick! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I got mine in October 2008. I also had a slippage in August 2013 and had it repaired. Should have had the revision done then. Grrrrr!!

Folks, please know that unless a FB page is "secret", your friends (and anyone else!) can see that you belong to the group! Unless you're ok with everyone knowing you belong to "Bariatric Surgeries 2016", please be careful. If you're ok with everyone knowing, rock on! I just feel that not everyone understand that "closed" is NOT the same as "private". See pic for what I was easily able to find with a quick search...

Is it a "secret" group? I want to join it also, but do not want anyone on my friends list (or anyone who is not a member of the group for that matter) to see that I am in it, or see any of my posts. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Yes, I am going with my original surgeon that did my band. Getting a revision to the sleeve in July/August. The OP on this thread was looking for one tho. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Did you have any luck finding a Dr? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
