    No thyroid

    I might have to try that in the meantime. I just had labs done and my level is still in the 30s.

    I have gained about the same as u in the course of about 9 mos. I don't have a surgery date yet. I finish my 6 mos doctor monitored weight loss requirement in July so I'm thinking a late August/early Sept surgery date.

    presurgery psych eval

    I had no questionnaire. Just a few questions and brief discussion as to my eating patterns, alternate ways to deal with stress and boredom etc. Reasons for wanting the surgery and discussion of possible mood swings and things to expect mentally after the surgery. It was very easy and informative.

    No thyroid

    Yes, they do. In all honesty, I end up fasting for a day or two before my weigh in just so that I don't show a gain. It's nearly impossible to lose and keep off, if it wasn't I wouldn't be in this situation...right? Lol

    You are definitely not alone, it's tough. I'm just hoping if I go through this process, it helps regulate things somewhat. Good luck to u as well. Mind if I follow u to keep an eye on your progress?

    No thyroid

    Me too.... Taking synthroid 200 daily and still struggling to just NOT gain! My insurance denies approval for any net gain during the 6 mos period before surgery. Has me scared to death!
  11. I absolutely love your name.....lol What all will be left to do before you can submit for approval?
  12. Good luck with your surgery!
  13. Good luck, Looking forward to updates!
  14. Congrats on all your hard work! U look great!

  17. Thank you! Feels like "my time" will never get here. (I'm so impatient) lol
  18. Congrats ALF and good luck with your approval!
  19. Yeah, I kinda wish I did see him already, it would seem more "real" I stress nonstop that im going to go through the entire process only to have something happen at the end and not be able to have it done. Thats how my luck works...haha!

    Nutrition info

    I planned to clarify with my dietition, but figured i would ask here. After gastric bypass when looking for acceptable choices, am i only looking at the sugar amount or the total carbs?
  22. Hi kekev, welcome!I'm hoping for late August or early Sept.
  23. Welcome Tinajax, you are getting so close!
  24. I'm glad your consult went well. Now if you are anything like me, you will be impatient and waiting for your next step. I'm only halfway through my process and started buying things, planning, reading everything I can!
