Good luck

That is true I say Now I get cocky when I lose weight and then it comes back. But I am so ready for this I believe I will keep it off. I think of it like this. If someone came and got me all set up paid all my bills gave me a good job and all new stuff and all I have to do is keep it up and it is all mine. U bet ur butt I would and that's what I think about weight loss surgery.

Good morning! I am scheduled for gastric sleeve tomorrow morning 1/26. I just want to thank you ALL for keeping this place alive. Bariatric pal has been a HUGE wealth of information for me that I believe I would have even paid a fee for (but glad I don't have too LOL)
Like I said I just want to give a thanks to all my BP friends that I've never met before but have more in common with than my daily life friends.
Love to you all!!!

Hi there! Congrats on taking your first step to becoming a healthier you!
My surgery is scheduled for 1/25/17. I would first suggest finding out if your insurance company covers bariatric surgery at all, as some do not. Most insurance companies require 3-12 months of medically supervised diet/nutritional counseling, as well as a BMI of 40+ or 35 and at least 2 co-morbidities. I switched insurance mid-process, but both BC/BS and United Healthcare required 6 months. I attended an introductory seminar, 6 month nutritional counseling, and 2 support groups. Your insurance/physician may require additional testing like a sleep study, EKG, etc, as well as psychological clearance. It seems like a lot but I completed it quickly.
Best of luck to you!

Hey everyone! I'm new here.
I've finished my 6 months of weight management. My chart was sent off for clearance.. so I'm only waiting on my surgery date. I'm excited and nervous eat the same time.

The easy answer is this:
When you stop doing what worked before, it doesn't work anymore.
When you stop:
Eating Protein first
Drinking at least 64 oz of no calorie, low calorie fluids
Limiting sugar, white carbohydrates, and calorie laden drinks
Moving more than sitting
Not drinking with meals
Eating mostly fresh, non processed food
Eating tons of colored veggies
Weighing yourself to hold yourself accountable
you will gain.
Pretty much it in a nutshell.

I am 42. Best decision I have ever made in my life regarding my health. In less than three months it has changed my life in more ways than I can effectively communicate. Whether or not to have the surgery is a completely personal decision, I spent years denigrating the potential benefits by saying things like "I would never feel normal" after the procedure. I was right. I do not feel normal. I feel above average. Good luck in your research.
