We are all so close to our dates! For me, it doesn't feel real quite yet. I am getting ready for more food prep and all the stuff that goes with it.

What have y'all done so far in terms of getting ready for surgery? Bought Vitamins, plates, Portion Control containers, measured yourself...etc? Quit smoking or drinking carbonated drinks?

I have quit carbonated drinks, trying to start not drinking when i eat (that not as easy as it sounds), also i work out 3 to 4 days a week...

dont feel b ad sweetie i did it to... from the computer not the app bc i got it from the activity page..

I have to do 6 months med supervised weight loss, Psych eval, cardiac clearance, NUT appt, exercise class, support group and and endoscopy b4 my insurance and surgeon will approve me. I should be done middle of november or so then surgery 2017...

From what I have read, every surgeon and insurance is different, so when you go to the Dr for your first appt they will tell you everything you have to do b4 surgery.

Congratulations on taking the first step

I have not gotten a date yet but my projected month is December 2017... I won't know for sure until middle November. I cannot wait

I am in Tennessee, but my surgery is at St Thomas in Nashville...

Recovery from drug addiction... 5 kids, and a love for Carbs...

mine if from my hospital, According to her it is 3 appts in 3 months they go by the month not the number of days... she says that is the case for most insurance so if u have a 3 month requirement then 1 appt aprox 4 weeks apart in 3 separate months is good

Good question... i am going to call and ask my patient advocate today.

Rides at the fair, cute scrubs not big boxy scrubs that r available in my size, being comfy in seats at concerts, buying something sexy to wear to for my husband, finding gym cloths that fit and dont hang on me or squeeze me to death,taking less pills every morning, and having the energy to keep up with my 5 children, to play with them like i want to

Awesome!!!! Congratulations

I had my psych eval last week and i am wondering how long it will take for the dr to get my results... My program requires my psych clearance before i can do any of the other requirements... So does anyone have any idea how long I am going to have to wait...

Where in Tennessee, which surgeon??? I am having my surgery at St Thomas in Nashville.

Count me is I need to get back to my exercise

I chose bypass because of my type 2 diabetes... my doctor told me that patient with type 2 diabetes have a really high like 70-80% cure rate with gastric bypass... If i did not have that i would probably go with the sleeve.

There are way to many counselors that will completely support your decision to stick with this negative one you r seeing... find someone who will support you and take control of your life and health.

I looked it up and nicotine comes out of your system in 1 to 3 days... so if you don't smoke anymore you should be fine.

my projected surgery month is December... I am hoping to get it done b4 the first of the year bc my deductible is already met. my doctor is aware of that so we are trying...

I would check what the requirements are, it is late in the year so if you have to do 6 months of anything, you are going to blow your deductible this year, and then have to meet it next year.
If I had any 6 month requirements I would wait to start next year.
