What are you smoking? I'm gonna need me some of that! But, on a more helpful note, bring your blender, ice cube trays, etc. Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App

Have you been coughing or vomiting? Are the eyes itchy? Have you used any unusual makeup or eyedrops? New Vitamins or supplements? New prescriptions? Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App

Glad it was an easily replaceable specialist. Good for you! No sense giving your business to the insensitive I see our family Dr. on Thursday to talk about weight loss surgery. Let's see just how much she wants us to stop stuffing our faces! (I need her participation for my insurance). Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App

Oh the fat shaming my poor hubby went to our family dr. And she said, "well, even if you are too hurt to exercise, you can stop stuffing your face" or something to that effect... So he feels so bad, he goes and gets a Big Mac... Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App

I saw an old aquaintance one day. Stopped and chatted for a moment, and at some point during the conversation, I realized she had lost a bunch of weight. What came out of my mouth was "You look good", but what went through my mind was "I hope you aren't sick with cancer or something". I haven't seen her since, so don't know what caused the weight loss. People really do get concerned about your health! If surgery is tmi, then maybe start saying you've been on a diet. Put their minds at ease. Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App

I am laughing because of the various definitions of "invasive" given. Ultimately you will want to find the Dr. you trust, and follow his/her lead. I am in the same part of my journey! Personally I don't want the band. I think the sleeve sounds good to me, but if my Dr. recommends the RYN, I would go along, as long as they have a good reason.

If you have the time, I think it would be fun! Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App

That kind of weight loss is going to require more than just exercise (unless you can walk 20 miles a day!) You need to do something like the liquid Protein preoperative diet, or something similar. Tiny amounts of lean protein and spinach.. maybe 500 cal day. The cleanse is a good idea too. What sort of dr expects someone to lose a pound a day? (Think of it that way because it can take a couple days for the body to change the hormones to begin losing weight). Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App
