What a fantastic transformation! I know you must be proud.

I am from West Chester ... close enough. Getting my surgery done at Penn Presbyterian. Dr. Korus will be my surgeon.

I'm also in Philly! 2 more nutrition visits until I can get approval. Going through Barix in Langhorne, PA

I am also in Bucks County....I was sleeved on 10/26, you ?

What a fantastic transformation! I know you must be proud.

Wow! Thanks for all of the information. Definitely worth considering. I have a Liquid Protein supplement that I take every day due to my dialysis treatments in 1 ounce cup it has 20 g of protein so I’ll definitely be sipping on that no matter how much my tastebuds change because getting those 20 g in is definitely worth whatever nasty taste the supplement may have post surgery.

No I have not had any type of bariatric related surgery. My gastric bypass the schedule for January 23, 2018. I’ve had heart surgery in the past and hernia repair is well a few other things I had a hysterectomy in 2013 due to cancer. I wish that I had thought that bariatric surgery was and option for me back then because I may not have had some of those surgeries anyway. But I can’t live in the past I have to look towards the future so as of now bariatric surgery the beginning of 2018 and hopefully much better health moving forward.

My bariatric program has me scheduled for my nutrition class the first week of January so I’ll be prepared and they already gave me a big binder that goes through each and every phase of the eating but I am wondering what people are doing so get their fridges ready , cupboards ready that type of thing What kind of items they’re purchasing what kind of tips they have. Four instance… I’m going to make some Bone Broth and put it in ice cube tray’s and then put them in Ziploc bags and store them in the freezer and then take out a couple at a time to eat postop.

I agree that photos are important to document your journey. We may not feel like we’re making much progress but then when we look back and compare it we can see a big difference in how our bodies are changing even if the scale isn’t moving. I have three outfits that I’m going to document my journey so that I can have them to look back on. Thanks for sharing!

Wow I’m so sorry that you’re going through that but I’m glad that they figured out what was going on and hopefully can remedy it. Best of luck.

Welcome to the club!

The bypass procedure has both restriction in Malabsorption Whereas the sleeve primarily has restriction. Because of the Malabsorption portion of the gastric bypass you don’t intake as much calorically & utritionally speaking thus eliminating your diabetes.

I will not get my date until I get my approval... but all insurance and programs are different... congrats on getting your date. That is my birthday!!!!

Congrats to you!!!

That is awesome! Congratulations on kicking all those medications to the curb

My bariatric team selected my surgery date before they submit it to insurance. I have Medicare is the primary and Blue Cross Blue Shield 65 special as my secondary insurance.

Ready! Lost 12lbs pre-op
