Hello!!! I have not heard from the Baratric center but I called my INC and they said YES I'm approved!!!! December 30th is my life changing day.

I originally was approved for gastric bypass was two weeks away from surgery and it did not feel right, I could not get over the malabsorption, and losing the bottom part of your stomach that lets alittle food out at a time Into your intestines. So I now feel really good I'm ready for a new life!

Welcome to our group! There are 2 other Dec 30s on here to go through it with you! There is also a secret Facebook page if you're interested in joining. The link is in the very first post of this thread!

This is the App to download on your phone or other device: http://appshopper.com/social-networking/bariatricpal

At the bottom, there are 10 screen shots to flip through to see the app before downloading it. There are some pics and sceen names as well as posts clearly seen.

If I go to Google and search for "atlantared" then yes, my profile does come up. AtlantaRed is ONLY my name on here as I didn't want my identity from other sites to be the same. If I Google search my real name, this site doesn't come up.

Hope that helps.

By the way, you can change your screen name if you are using one that you also use in other places if you want more privacy. I will probably change my picture and that should be all I need to do.

If anyone does change their screen name, give me a heads up so I can change it on the mega list!

I think it is being shut down BUT we really shouldn't notice it. They are moving everything over for us. Right now there are separate pages for the different surgies such as Vertical Sleeve Talk, Lap Band Talk, etc. They are combining all of them to one site called Bariatric Pal. However, there will still be areas that are separate for each procedure but also places where everybody with ANY of the procedures can interact.

Does that help?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
