Alice, 56, Louisville, hopefully the end of Feb, Dr. Oldham.

Alice, are you having to do the six month program due to insurance? Are you having the sleeve?

I'm in Bowling Green, currently on track for late October - early November. My surgeon is Dr. Nwanguma at The Medical Center Surgical Weight Loss.

Welcome, Cindy. Best of luck with your surgery. October is just around the corner.

Thank you! ????

Yes, insurance requires a 6 month medically supervised weight loss program.

Yes I would prefer the sleeve but will find out what surgeon recommends on the 25th when I go.

I'm doing the sleeve, unless my Dr. Changes his mind before surgery. I know each one has different testing they want done pre-surgery. I feel like I'm jumping through hoops, but I'll be done with all of mine at the end of this month.

Have you lost any weight during the supervised diet? I've lost 23 lbs since January. I decided to try to start getting my body used to exercise & dietary changes. Best of luck to you!

I'm just starting this whole process so I'm going to the surgeons office on the 25th to meet with everybody. Then it's on like Donkey Kong with the diet and not smoking! So wish me luck!

Good luck Natalie. I know you will be excited to get a date.

Im doing great. Shed 30lbs. In 19 days. Im eating regular foods. Ive learned alot. My stomach favors shellfish. Shrimp and imitation crab. Avocado is great. And eggs.

Ive learned to eat about 2oz then wait 30 min and eat another 2oz.

How do you no when your full?????? It feels like Thanksgiving

also, i am able to get my Water in ONLY by using a straw, i no they not to...my doctor said only because it COULD cause gas. It doesn't.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
