Recommended Posts

Ohhh, I didn't know we have to give ourselves shots of blood thinners... not looking forward to that (blah)

I had my surgery yesterday and they gave me the shots after I was already out. I thought they might not do it so I asked and they said yah they had given them to me but they waited until I was under. I was really glad about that.

I am set for the 11 th. Had to redo the EKG today. The leads were inverted the first time, giving me an abnormal result. I am ready to go.

Are all these tests for insurance based? I'm just curious because they never gave me an EKG but I'm also self pay...

why is it that some doctors only want one or two days of a liquid diet and some want two weeks or more? I don't get it.

I asked them the same question. Mine is only 2 days and I am on the end of my day 1. I feel like I'm about to pass out, I am SO hungry. I am so thankful that I don't have to do this for two weeks. They told me that Dr.Naim only has us do 2 days, because he doesn't want us to feel weak for the surgery. I already feel weak after day one...can't IMAGINE 2 weeks. =/

I am self-pay, and I had an EKG done in the office. But everything is included in my price plus a year of fills and free checkups. I would ask them to verify.

I was banded with hernia repair yesterday. I have been walking off and on all morning. Gas pain is going away. Overall I am feeling pretty good. Good luck to all getting banded today.

My surgery date is June 12th! I am super excited! Although I'm nervous about the four days of liquids BEFORE surgery. I just know that I'm going to be starving! Ugh! But I am so excited to FINALLY be banded in 6 more days! I have wanted this for years, and never thought that I would be able to get it. Thank you God for another chance at life :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
