Wow thank you for your very detailed post! Truly appreciate it as I am just starting this process.

Can you incorporate use of your products into this process? If yes, it could be a way to show how the products can work in conjunction with another approach to a healthy life for you.

Go with your instincts. One bad thing about sharing is that it brings out all the negative Nellies and you have to be ready to deal with that. Some of them can be really hateful.

Awe praying girl I would be devastated too

Tomorrow I go for my lab work and to get my letter of medical necessity. Super nervous about the whole process, my weight has creeped up to 289 and I am 5’6..... currently I do not have any diagnosis outside of being overweight. However I am confident I am borderline hypertensive because for years my blood pressure has teetered around needing medication! My egd is Monday and my psych evaluation is Wednesday next week.... this is all happening so quickly and I have no clue how long before the next step will be...... I feel like the doctors office for sure has everything rolling in the right direction, but I think I’m just anxious to see what’s next......
How early on did you have all these test compared to when you had your surgery?

Yesssssss everything you Said I can relate to so much. I have worked in the health and wellness field for 5 years but I am also a registered nurse. I have a 7 and 14 year old and I need this, I want to be around a long long time for them.. thank you for everything you said because it really hit home......

My vote is to not share and protect your career . Sad but necessary

Do you have a hernia, Gerd or gallbladder issues? Plenty of people just say they're having that corrected, then say their following a physician supervised diet plan afterwards.

If there was a pill don't you believe most of us would,tried it before now?. There is no free lunch in life, and certainly not in Bariatrics. We work and we work hard for every little change. We were food a holics and it is hard not regress back to junky foodland. One of the armed services has the motto,I think maybe Coast Guard, Eternal Vigilance, that should be ours also. We have a watch to do the rest of our lives against poor diet. But our health is worth it and we are too![emoji6][emoji171][emoji6][emoji170]

I am going to do the gastric sleeve

Thank you love, it was seriously something I was back and forth with for so long, I am super excited to take this step

Hey all, I just joined the forum this evening after searching online for Forums I could connect with others going through the same stuff. I am 37, a mom of 2, and someone that has gone up and down on the scale all of my life. I told my doctor today that it was extremely emotional because I have seriously only known my identity to be that girl with the amazing personality and pretty face....
I am not wanting to be a certain size or weight, I am wanting to be healthy, in shape and happy in my own skin..
Today was my first appointment and I am set for lab work April 6th and an egd April 9th! I am both nervous and excited.
I apologize ahead of time I am just figuring out this site and how to search for post similar......
Did anyone else just begin the process??
Thanks all for reading and I am looking forward to getting to know All of you!
