    Wear weights and eat a heavy meal every time. Do what you gotta do.

    Waiting game

    rachel_babe replied to torriqurll's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Yes my surgery is 8/24 ! So less than a week after you

    Trust me you will gain back your appetite and a lot of weight is water weight. You won't continue to lose that fast.

    I'm 19 & getting the sleeve at a hospital. My surgeon is great but doesn't want an endoscopy. (I need a H. Pylori test and blood work). I've seen other people say that they saw important things with the endoscopy before surgery. Do you guys think I should ask for one?

    PCP won't write me a letter, she doesn't agree with surgery. Has anyone dealt with this? I know I need a new doctor but I don't think a new doctor will just write me the letter because I am a new patient.
  6. rachel_babe
    They don't agree with surgery in general because with my insurance you just need to be 40 BMI. I'm going to call my surgeon later and see what the office says.

    August Sleevers

    rachel_babe replied to lovedrotten's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Me too. I should have a late august or september date and it feels forever away.

    I am just 20 yo and going through the process. I have been researching for a couple years and really want to. I want to know would you guys go through with it then? A couple people have been discouraging me even though I have been a mix of obese & overweight my whole life.

    Bypass and sleeve are both good choices. But they are also just tools. If you don't change your lifestyle you will gain the weight back no matter which surgery you choose. The weight doesn't just come back by itself. My surgeon recommended the sleeve for me, less complications and bypass is bad if you want kids in the future.

    Fasting in Ramadan tips

    rachel_babe replied to alaisha96's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I think your religion would understand you have to eat. There isn't any way around it, you will get hungry eventually and you don't want to ruin your process or stretch out your stomach.

    What was your breaking point?

    Anybody else around 35-39 bmi want to be buddies? It is hard finding others who are having the surgery too.

    I am 215 right now and 5'3/5'4 and want to be 145. Surgeon said I could get to 160 lb in 6 months so that is exciting. what about you?
  15. rachel_babe
    10lbs by myself but I have never been over 40 BMI.

    Goal Weight?

    rachel_babe replied to fruitandveggies's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

    My surgeon is the opposite. I am 215 now and he expects me in a year to be around 130 and idk if i can lose that much.

    rachel_babe replied to rachel_babe's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

  18. rachel_babe
