  1. Same here. I cannot wait to get moving faster and without pain
  2. Also, CIGNA is different by state and employer. I only need 4 months of back to back consecutive nutrition visits
  3. we can have baked potato with skin. I was VERY shocked!
  4. Congratulations! I am super excited for you. I cannot wait to get the surgery part over. I personally feel like that is the easiest. I am in pre-op and trying to get in protein and new healthy eating lifestyle is a challenge. But I am ready!
  5. Update-I've gotten my test results back and I have to take Iron and Calcium CITRATE. I also had my first nutrition visit and I have a lot of habits to change. First NO MORE SPARKLING WATER. T
  6. Today I have my GI xray and my lab work including stool test for h pylori. I've already had initial with surgeon and my nutritionist visits are all set up. I'm pretty excited. Over the next 4 months I have appts lined up. I will keep you guys posted [emoji1]
  7. Great post and i get where you are coming from. I haven't had surgery yet and I am experiencing all the things you say about happened to you pre-op. Girl, that is me and I am pre-op. I have been job hunting for a year and still haven't gotten an offer. My ideas get overlooked at work but yet I get glowing EOY reviews. I say stay strong and yes therapy. I am seeing a therapist now talking about how I get treated now as a larger person that when I was a size 12. So frustrating!
  8. I am going to start overeaters anonymous too. I am also pre-op. Never had any WL surgery but I know I have an issue with overeating.
  9. I will find that out. Thanks for the idea.
  10. thank you for posting facts (and link). I was starting to get freaked out as I planned to do sleeve.
  11. Hi Newbie Here. I decided in Jan that I wanted to learn more about WL surgery and I have decided I want to go down this journey. However, I live in CA and my family lives in the Midwest. Outside of this forum, what other places can you find support? I am pre-op and I have my first nutrition and surgeon meeting next month.
  12. Hi I am here in Napa County. Just starting the process. I went to the Fairfield Sutter intitial group information and I have my 1st doc appt next Month in Roseville with Dr. Shadle.
