wow your weight loss is great! Good for you Army Wives. I am a little discouraged myself, have only lost 8 lbs in the past 4 wks since my surgery...lost about 15 lbs prior to surgery. :-( Had my first fill yesterday so we will see how that goes. :-) Take care!

I also had the same feeling for about 2 wks...gas from when they blew my stomach up at surgery. It was more uncomfortable than anything else. Like she said, Gas-X did wonders. Good luck to you! :biggrin:

Sounds like you are doing awesome & are keeping your head straight. Good for you. Keep it going! My surgery is 25 days away...getting very excited.

With less than 40 BMI? I am at 37-38 BMI...(depending on the day of the week!) I know they say if you have other morbid conds, you can get approved, but I dont really have any Dr visit notes to provide on them....I am one of those people that don't really like to do to the Dr when I am hurting. I am always sleepy, freq headaches, joint problems, etc...but nothing I can document. Please let me know if you have similar BMI and were still approved? Thx! And congrats to everyone on here that's had the surgery and is now loving life even more!!! I can't wait and am trying not to get too excited just in case. Thx!! :biggrin:
