    i dealt with this crap... I got my order to do it in December... I was not able to get a appointment until March 1st... was soooo annoying. Ask your doctor if they require anything special... Mine did... Otherwise there are online psyc evals you can do via zoom with a licensed MD or PHD that do bariatric psyc eval. This doctor does online but you need to make sure your doctor will accept it because mine did not. https://www.onlinebariatricpsychevals.com/index.html

    My Surgeon does not require me to have a pre-op diet. That feels a little strange to me since it seems the majority are given a pre-op diet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Probably have a small liver... the whole point of the pre op diet is to shrink your liver for more room to work when they get to the surgery

    It should not be a issue in regards to the surgery as after surgery for some it eliminates sleep apenea... I have a machine. I personally love it. Before i was getting maybe 5 hours of sleep. Now i sleep for 8-9 and sometimes 10 hours if i dont need to go to the bathroom lol. There is a shortage of machines because a while ago one particular brand Phillips was recalled. I personally have the resmed airsense 10 and love it.

    all weight loss surgerys are "bariatric surgery" I meant more specific... If you notice 0n my sidebar it says Gastric sleeve. That is the surgery i am getting. Then there is Gastric Bypass, Mini bypass, Lap band and a few other minor ones. your info can be edited in your profile section under surgery.

    I was so worried before surgery of dropping weight super fast and having to buy so many expensive outfits for work. Well, it hasn’t been that fast. And thrifting at Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Savers has been fun. The trick is to go to the ones in wealthier towns for barely worn quality clothes. Amazon or Walmart the undies and socks of course!

    I enjoy wearing the simple white tshirt and shorts... Its hot here in Florida lmao. But would be nice to buy smaller sizes. they are cheaper.

    you wont eat the same way again as in large portions... but once you are healed up and recovered you will be able to go out to eat, Eat some of the stuff you did before just smaller portions. Go on youtube and watch videos of peoples journey's through weight loss surgery. Many have videos from before, during and after surgery and even years after surgery and what they are eating and such. There are probably a hundred or so videos. Its great to see how other people do. Also make sure you fill out your sidebar with your stats and surgery you are planning on getting. It helps a ton with answering questions. you can do this in your profile tab

    One thing i look forward to is actually finding clothing that fits once i have my surgery. I normally wear the same thing everyday, A white tshirt and basketball type shorts everyday. Last couple days been looking for actual clothes for a event tomorrow (Dress pants, collard shirt) and wow its been impossible... Me being 5'4 and 315lb. and havent worn real clothing like that in years. went to several stores and it was impossible to find anything that fit and i have a closet full of nice nearly brand new clothing that i havent been able to wear since 2016. hoping i get this cardiac clearance for surgery next week and can get this show on the road.

    I mean chew slower and more. The rate you are doing it now... Go slower. But i dont think the speed of the chew is a issue... The issue is chewing... Dont matter really the speed of it. As long as you are chewing sufficiently and not eating fast. Chew chew chew, swallow... wait a little and do it again and again. i normally eat my meals in 5 minutes or less... my booklet the surgeon gave me says take 30 minutes or more per meal.

    Another thing I forgot to mention that happens to help alot with anxiety is organization. What Suzannethemom did by making all her lists was to control what she could and that helps a great deal with anxiety. I was advised to do that during a medical issue that was very stressful by a nurse. I kept a binder with all my appointments and labs and scans, etc and it helped tremendously with my anxiety.

    my bariatric center gives you a binder with all the required info, doctors names, labs and such and we are required to take it to every appointment. Found it very nice and convenient.

    Waiting was very annoying... What has held me up was the long wait for a appointment for the psyc evaluation (over 2 months for the next opening) EKG is quick and easy takes just a few minutes, sleep study is no big deal if you get a at home kit you just wear it to sleep and that is it. The Endoscopy i had one done last year (not a part of bariatric surgery) and It was actually quick. They put to me to sleep for it since i had a colonoscopy done as well. What you get all your lab orders and such get to making those appointments to get it done. I personally had a abnormal EKG so i am having to get a extra test done a Nuclear Stress Test but after that if it goes well which it should i should be able to move forward. hopefully you can get appointments quick for your labs. Good luck! Dont stress

    Lol @ Heck no.

    Yeah that's smart, living with others and saving up. Hey, it helped you afford your surgery, so it's a good thing. Especially in this crappy economy.

    My son will be 22 next month and already moved out. So I'm enjoying peace and quiet now. 😁

    Nice. I moved out at 18 and came back at 31ish. My 2 brothers 28 (i think) and 33 have never left home. and show no interest in it lol. My mom loves it. She never wants us to leave. Me i cant wait. I miss living alone. was so peaceful and i didnt have to share a bathroom lol
