So far I am only 4 weeks...lol. I haven't told any of my friends or family...well my husband. We are very worried that something is going to go wrong. I do have a lot of medical concerns. I go for my first appointment on the 15th and I will be discussing them there. Hopefully this bun will bake the whole 9 months lol. My husband and I had gotten the go ahead the beginning of April to start trying again and off the BC and here we are...it happened a lot fast than we expected especially since a lot of the doctors said I wouldn't be able to get pregnant again...well....6 home tests later lmao...I am so excited, but also so so scared Thank you for the good wishes -

Before and After Pics
KalelsWifey replied to Roserie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tbh I love your question bc I believe your correct!! Due to my pregnancies my muscles stretched. Badly. That being said, I also overall had about 85-100 lbs extra to lose... Depending on how you look at my weight. I since delivering two years ago, had a six month pregnant look. Everything else looked OK. Now that I've been losing the weight since my surgery, my belly had gone down drastically and bc I have extra skin. Not a ton but will definitely need a panni or abdominoplasty my belly button looks slightly lower, not crazy or anything but I believe it's because I'm losing so much in the mid section. I think I will try taking my measurements, I've never done that. -
I made it past my goal weight. Throughout my YEARS of dieting I always wanted to shoot for around 175..my magic number..Last Sat I was giving some medication to my dog and forgot how much she weighed..so I grabbed her and got on the scale, then put her back down and got back on...i was at 172..i was so stunned I had to reweigh the dog + me bc I forgot that number! I cant believe that Ive lost over 90 lbs in less than a year..my doc says Im one of thier star clients..To everyone looking for motivation, just keep trying..Theres no point in having a goal if you dont think you can reach it!

I wonder if this place only ever gives 1.2 ccs or less bc I once again got 1.2 cc. Oh well. I guess I will just stick it out. I got a different lady this time and she let me schedule for 2 wks out this time. So, if I have no restriction it is not too long before I go back. Hopefully I will feel something...

Where are all the Michigan people at??
Northern Mist replied to Cinnaberry's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi All, I'm, of course, fighting it. My doctor thinks it's ridiculous. They sent me a denial letter stating I didn't have a five year history (I do and sent it) They also said I needed a six month diet history (I did and sent it). My doctor talked directly to BC/BS and they told her she needed to document it better than she did. They are willing to take from November 07 to now - Oh gee thanks. There's nothing different about the diet logs and doctor's notes since July 07! I'm sure once I get 2 more months documented they will find something else. I'm very frustrated. I needed to get this done before my jobs got too busy - looks like I will have to go through this with hardly no down time or I'll have to put it off for a slower month. Sorry for the rant. -

NoDramaLlama replied to Sweet Pea STL Sleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am scheduled for August 4th, but I am still waiting for BC/BS approval.

I am DREADING the pre-op liquid diet; my doctor requires two weeks on shakes and Clear liquids. -

Leaving dieting behind
OutsideMatchInside replied to bellabloom's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Exactly. And she has a long history of lying here, and she previously admitted that she lied. So how can anyone believe anything she says at all? Almost everyone that was here when she was spinning her fantasical lies and called her out on it are gone. So she feels perfectly comfortable to come back, reinvent herself as some new age eating guru and spew more BS. If anyone dares to call her on her BS or remember all the lies she told she just plays victim. She is completely toxic. -
Girl.....hes still ur man, he loves u and loved u when u were extra curvy til now....but men also like what they see too, it's pretty basic. My man called me fat in a arguement once (I said a few low blows too) and I cried bc he was mean, the scale said 285 (ummm yeah! Lol I'm fat!) Men say and do stupid **** all the time (so do we) but if it bothers u that much, talk to him! He may have not even thought in depth about the comment and was just appreciating how hot u are now [emoji91] good luck girly [emoji177] Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

I finally got my medical records from Hoehn's office. But before they were sent, the office manager,Pat, callled me for an interview. She wanted to know why I wanted the records, what doctor I would be moving to, why I was leaving. I told her about my negative experience with Nola: the not returned phone calls, the incorrect information, the cracks about other patients, the patronizing and unprofessional attitude. I also said Hoehn had been fine, Billie was great, and Becky had been very helpful (correcting Nola's mistakes). I didn't like the triple booking appts. on Fridays. I told her I had talked to Sabapathy about it. He had acknowledged other patients had trouble with Nola. I asked her if Hoehn knew about this. I had mentioned it to him.. Pat was noncomittal. Of course. I said I was especially fed up with Nola telling me about all the patients who were her close friends. I don't go to doctors to make new friends. I'm looking for strictly professional relationships. Doubt if anything will come of it.

How do you measure your food?
Mrs.RRn replied to LynRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Would you say that you weigh all solids (meat, veggies, cheese,etc). And measure semi solids and edible liquids? And how much do you eat at one meal? I eat 2-3 oz of solid food at a meal. I weigh out my meat (example: chicken) and don't usually weight or measure my veggies bc I can usually only eat about a couple tsp-tbsp of veggies. If it's a semi-solid or thicker liquid, I eat about 3-4 Fluid ounces (like chili, Soup, yogurt) -
Use Your First Six Months Wisely
Banned member replied to june13sleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Say what you mean and mean what you say! No where in your post did you say "just kidding" or "not serious". It's not my fault that you didn't feel the need to put a disclaimer. Now that you're being called out on your BS advice and subsequent post, now your back peddling. Some newbies may take your advice but thankfully now they know that you were just joking around. You should of said that several pages ago smh -

I think the problem is many of us need to change our attitudes about eating. We need to eat to live and not live to eat. I think many of those principles are great, but not all of us or even many of us, would be able to just intuitively eat correctly to the point of not regaining weight or losing some aspect of our health, such as controlled diabetes without medication. I absolutely think we need to correct any bad habits or mental aspects related to our eating. I have already changed my mindset in that I no longer view how I am eating as a diet. It is a lifestyle and it is still evolving, but it will be how I eat for life. This is just my opinion and I am always learning, and will adjust if I feel compelled that I need to. In some ways my type 2 diabetes is helping me now believe it or not. By checking my bs daily I have a concrete way of gauging how what I am eating, is effecting my body, and by tracking my foods, I can make adjustments as needed. I got in the habit of keeping a food journal when I was diagnosed so it has become second nature to me and is not a bother at all.

Any April surgery buddies
frust8 replied to Relle2190's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lucky you, after softball and basketball practice they fed us salt pills. Yucky little b*****'s,seemed like they stuck in my esophagus half way down[emoji20]Guess what positions I played? Center, power forward because when teacher or coach wasn't around we played boy rules. And considering I now have 2 knee replacements- catcher. Yep good enough I was on a traveling team,very minor league but we thought we were the greatest thing since sliced bread[emoji12] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app -
I am not the person you were debating with. I just added this because you seemed not to be familiar with the quote she was referencing. And I do find this law enforcement officer's language ("fed up", "at the end of his rope" and "a really bad day") to be minimizing and dismissive of what Robert Long did. Whether that's because he's male is up for debate, but I do find the tone to be excusing.

The changes to the site are really getting on my nerves! I just get fed up and stop using the site for awhile. Now I can't change my ticker. If I try to get a new one all my graph stuff from the past 1 1/2 years is lost. -
5 weeks out and my scrubs are hanging off of me, my coworkers even brought up great places to take them in. Walking past pizza, donuts, etc and not craving them at all. Instead choosing healthy protein instead bc I'm craving it. People saying my face is slimmer. Went down a pant size. Almost able to cross my legs comfortably. This is only in 5 weeks, I can't wait to see what else is in store for me!!!!

Where are all the Michigan people at??
Blund replied to Cinnaberry's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi All. I don't have approval yet. After the shrink evaluation, they'll send everything in to BC. From what I've read here about the shrink appointments and questionnaire, I'm looking forward to a good laugh! Then I get to wait... But the coordinator said everything looked favorable for ins. approval. And yes, I've learned a ton of information from this site. I've found forums in general, the most helpful in other areas of interest as well.
