  7. Wow- you poor bugga. I say all of the above comments are good. As your waiting to see your doc try the elimination thing. Other than above comments - are you using a different moisteriser or changed any product? Um um um... Maybe medication or because you body has gone through a major change- could have affected hormones? Hahahaha I sound stupid now hahaha Get to your doctor buddy Sent from my SM-G925I using BariatricPal mobile app
  8. Hi I had my first appointment in August of last yr and was sleeved the next month. I would start asking questions to be honest. State that you have met all requirements and was just wondering what the delay is as you need a time frame to organise work/family commitments? Hehehe! Say anything! I'm not too sure how it all works over your way as I'm from Australia. Hope you get your answers soon and let us know how you go Xxx Sent from my SM-G925I using BariatricPal mobile app

  16. Hi all I had a BMI of 32. 20 weeks post surgery and have lost all the weight and hit goal today. I weighed in at 87kilos and now 55kilos. First time I've let anyone know that! I had prior health issues and now I don't. Dont regret a thing. Its a process and now I need to maintain and not lose anymore - shit, didn't think I'd ever say that!

  17. Hey sweet My sister looked into this to. Her surgeon adviced her that she would be under him to monitor her throughout her pregnancy. Healthy eating, Fluid intake, Vitamins will all help darlz. Your 1 yr post op which is fantastic so you are able to eat. 9 months of dedication and you will be rewarded. Please dont worry about weight gain - this is absolutely normal. All I can say is do it right. Even if you eat small portions regularly and those portions are healthy. Get regular blood tests to check your Iron and other levels. Always check with your doctor about vitamins and what is best and safe for you and bub. Even before you fall pregnant get your levels checked. Being fully prepared body wise will be all the better for you and bubby. My surgeon told me that he had patients who fell pregnant and had 8 pound babies but he made them go under him for monitoring as well as their baby doctor. Sorry I havent been through this myself to offer you personal experiences but I wish you all the best and cant wait to aee how you go. Xx Sent from my SM-G925I using the BariatricPal App

  28. Yep, very true White Scale! Nerves are all a part of it to. Everyones journey is different and I take my hat off to anyone who has tried all means to lose weight and become healthier, then feel bariatric surgery is their last option. No judgements here! I wish you all the best but please know its a process after. I did so much research, did everything I was told but it didnt prepare me to what a process it truly was after the fact. I guess you have to do it to let it totally sink in. In saying that, I dont regret it. Hey we are all different just go for health first because the weight WILL come off!

Hope you smiled then! Go for it and research the shit out of your surgeon. Keep us updated on your journey and feelings as we get it! Time for a new beginning and there is one person in Australia who backs you! Xxxx Sent from my SM-G925I using the BariatricPal App
