I am a nervous wreck y'all I am terrified of the pain I will have. I've been waiting a year for this surgery and have 0 support from my family. Going to the hospital now I would love someone to talk to, bond with, be friends with. Good luck to everyone with their weight loss!!

Wow. Hey y'all I posted that back in May.. I'm getting the bypass in a month.

I thought I was the only one!! Who wore sz 2x graphic tees!

Oh and wearing something besides 2X graphic tees every day. That's all I feel comfortable in now. And wearing a well fitting bra to make the ladies look better. Lol.

I just talked to my insurance company and they said I do qualify! Yes!! So excited!

OK thank you ladies!

So I saw my pcp yesterday and he said he would count the past 2-3 months of me getting diet pills for the 6 month required diet visits if the insurance would OK it. Otherwise he officially put me on a diet plan starting yesterday but all he did was say exercise a couple days a week and count my carbs.. And he is a weight loss doctor! Thought the diet would be more detailed than that.. Any thoughts?

My insurance says they don't cover wls but my surgeon's office says they do it's a case by case.. Does anyone have Texas Amerigroup??

For insurance to cover wls they usually require 6 mths of supervised diet with a Dr... Ive been on diet pills for 2mths with my pcp will that count

Definitely researching all I can before I see the surgeon so I know what questions I need to ask but nice encouraging opinions help too so thank you!

Love the encouragement! Had a hater earlier don't need any negativity in my life!

How are you doing

OK thanks what wls did you get

Bless your heart! Congratulations and you got this!

Does weight loss surgery help ibs

O wow good for you! Are you nervous about not being able to eat the things we like.. Sweets lol.. I am.. What about the nausea and vomiting

Trying to educate myself on the different surgeries not sure which is best for me.. I'm 220 lbs my bmi is 40 .I know my Dr will tell me but I'm curious about any advice any one can give me

Thought I would get lap band now I'm not sure.. I don't drive so how would I get the adjustments all the time. I'm 220 lbs my bmi is 40 am I fat enough to get sleeve or bypass

I am so nervous to have this done too I love to eat and I'm afraid I will fail I'm afraid of the nausea and vomiting as well.. Can I still drink my yummy coffee? !

Will my Dr make me stop smoking.. Is an e-cig OK?? And how bad is the nausea and vomiting.. That doesn't sound fun

Thanks so much for the encouragement! I hope so!

I have Amerigroup medicaid in Texas and I have an appointment with the Weight loss surgeon and I'm terrified that I won't qualify! I'm 5'2 and 220 lbs my bmi is 40 and I have high blood pressure and cholesterol and sleep apnea. If anyone knows anything please let me know! Thanks!
