I'm from Bay Area ca

I'm 38 bmi Hypothyroidism,borderline bp & severe sleep apnea .. my surgeon says I definitely qualify but my thyroid has to get to a normal number to approve surgery normal is a 3-4 .. mine was 13 .. wow I was shocked when I saw that !! !! Started synthroid 100m 6 weeks ago .. hope it goes down .. I'm hopeful..

Hi there Luv to be buddies! I'm pre op too ..highest bmi 41 but when I met my dr/surgeon was right at 40 now I'm at 38 .. [emoji173]️[emoji106] been on preop diet to lose 8% that's what dr set for me so I can be totally approved...he says they always use highest weight recorded within last year ..every dr is lil different tho ...

Thanks [emoji106]

Good job [emoji1303] 85lbs down !!!!! You lost great despite hypothyroidism. [emoji1319][emoji1319][emoji1319][emoji1319] What are your stats if you don't mind ? I'm pre op .. 53 & have Hypothyroid .. just started levothyroxine 6 weeks ago. Doc says i have to get tsh to a 3 before Surgery..

Good luck [emoji106] that's great u lost really well .. my dr says I will not have to do liquid pre op ... u may not either since u got weight down .. but it all depends on the dr they are all different.

Yes very true! .. I totally agree ... squeaky wheel lol The Bariatrics front desk already knows me .. I always ask to be on cancellation list :. When it comes to surgical appointments & whatever.. I've had many procedures & surgeries over the years.. been w kaiser over 30 yrs .. Also my 10 yr old triplets were born there .

Yes true ... I'm at Kaiser east bay ... very different requirements there ... my dr set me @ 8% Pre op loss .. 3lbs to go then I call in Weight tracker & set up psychological eval appt .. which kaiser are you at ?

Congrats Tammy Lee I'm still working on pre op weight loss 8% 5lbs to go is all !! Then I get to schedule my psych evaluation .. getting closer ..

Awesome!! Your on your way !! Almost there ! So happy for u Tammy ..

Well if you really like him then be honest & tell him if you plan on still seeing him ... cos think he's gonna know somethings up eventually right ...then u will see if there is a stronger connection.. .. especially when u start dropping all the weight.. .. lol otherwise if you don't wanna keep seeing this guy then no don't .. & ghost him lol.. good luck Tammy !

Btw I do protein vegetables & or fruit. She suggested protein vegetables carbs & or fruit.. in that order... 1200 cal That's it I'm cutting all the extra carbs lol .. hopefully start losing again!!

Thank u ... Sounds good .. !!! That's what I been doing .. try to chew 2o-30 times .. she says no drinking while eating .. so I drink tons of water later .. although I wasn't eating any extra carbs meaning only what I got w fruits and vegetables actually eat more vegetables than fruit .. but nutritionist encourage me to add whole-grain low carbs.. bread .. Brown rice quinoa .. etc. . think that's the culprit LOL... she encouraged me to try to balance out the meal.. that's it i'm cutting out extra carbs again!!! I follow a 1200 cal diet .. I track everything I eat too ... so crazy !!

That great !![emoji106] What have u been doing ?? What your secret ?? I'm stuck .. uggg!! I have 10lbs to go before I see my dr

Ok so I have only 10lbs to lose before the next step of requirements... of getting approved... I'm so frustrated haven't lost in almost 2weeks .... help ? Any suggestions pls [emoji120][emoji47]
