@beebee17

she brought up gum - said you should
never have any.! i don't remember her
exact explanation, something like it
could get "stuck"?? wellllll, i haven't
been a a gum chewer in a longgg time.
no problem about no gum now.
chewing gum must be nice - losing weight???

I am also having mine done this month with Dr. Corvala! How exciting, you are only one week out, I'm right behind you on the 21st. Let me know how it goes.

I had my surgery in Mexico - best decision I ever made. I think it's a great decision for those who have to self pay. One thing that helped me make the decision is I went down there to meet with the dr first before I made the appointment. Good luck to all of you going down there to have your surgery!

Well I had my surgery yesterday. Pain was bad, but lots of diludid. I had surgery at 730am, in PACU before 11, in my room around 1pm. I was ealing by 5pm
Today I went home. Pain control was good in the hospital today, but the oral oxy does nothing for me at all. I supposed to drink 60oz today but I only made it through 15. Anything more than 1/2 Oz makes me nauseous. so it's been chicken broth and Water. Surgery made me gain 6 pounds, but mostly laprp water and IVF. The gas pain is intense. The fixed a hernia in my diaphragm and my shoulders and back are extremely painful when I lay down. Said it was from the lapro air they blow inside. 5 incisions. Only 1 hurts. And that pain is both inside and superficial. Here's to getting rid of my "fat clothes" and starting a new life.

I'm in a similar boat as you. Still in the weight management phase; and i need to lose 15 lbs by August. I know its doable but its still nerve wracking.
My focus is getting approved for surgery; I'm setting my sights solely on getting the sleeve and starting my life anew.
I believe you can do it too!

Don't watch TV, it is full of food commercials.
Go to bed early.

The food on the cruise gets me every time. Good luck.

Kamjmm25: Ive been working out when I can at a gym, 3-4 times a week. And I'm avoiding bread, Pasta and rice. I leave to go on a 10-day cruise later this week, so that will really be the test with all that great food.

I have highmark also. I kind of went backwards so I'm just waiting on my Dr to send letter of clearance to my surgeon. I'm hoping i can have my surgery next month.

Im 69 and my surgery is scheduled for Aug 2. Getting anxious to be beyond the surgery.

My last nutritionist appointment will be in July. I'm hoping that the approval process with my insurance isn't that long, so I can get it done in August

Your doctor should check but you should call, I have blue cross blue shield so like united healthcare! My last appointment is July 11th.

What insurance do you guys have? My last nutrition appointment is mid July, and then I am assuming I can see if my surgery will be approved. I have high mark. Do you know if the doctor will check for approval or should I call?

Mine is August 7th, I'm super excited and nervous. My last nutrition appointment is next month, I'm praying my insurance accepts it. Then my sleeve is a go !!

Me too! I'm getting my lapband out the end of June. I will then have the gastric sleeve surgery, the end of August. I'm so excited!!!

Yes! My surgery date is August 4th! I'm 26 and a single mother of one! I'm excited and nervous as well! I've just been doing a lot of research and trying to prepare as best I can! Good luck!

Hi everyone. I am 31 years old I have a rowdy little 5 year old about to start kindergarten. My surgery date is August 21st, and I am beyond excited. I keep telling my son that soon I am going to be able to run and play with him. We are both so ready for that! Wish everyone luck. I am a week in to my pre op diet and have lost 5 lbs already. This journey is truly life changing. I love to see everyones stories. So encouraging.
