Had my one month post op yesterday. Since I didn’t have any other symptoms other than nausea I was told it probably wasn’t a stricture or anything like that and no other tests were needed. I was asked if I had any pain, but I told them no because

So I’m not sure what could be causing this? Had my surgery on 1/23/19 and the first couple days after surgery I felt sick which I figured was from the anesthesia. That went away. For the next two weeks I felt fine and had an appetite. Actually, I

I’m currently 10 days out from surgery and started my vitamins the very next day after I went home from the hospital. I’m taking the bariatric fusion chews. 4 per day everyday. I was told by my dietitian that these vitamins had everything I need

Cant believe it’s finally here. I check into the hospital at 8 in the morning for my RNY surgery and I’m super nervous!!

Don’t know why I’m nervous as I’ve had surgery before, but this is different. I guess I’m most nervous about

Do they make flavored water that is non carbonated and contain no sugars or artificial sweeteners? I’ve been looking, but can’t believe how hard this is to find.

I’m not a huge fan of artificial sweeteners. The taste is ok, but they ten

It’s really starting to sink in now that I’m actually having surgery next Wednesday. I almost still can’t believe it!

My pre-op went well aside from something I was told today by the PA. She told me that if I have a lot of scar tissue fr

So I got the call today from my surgeons office that I have been approved for surgery. I will have the RNY surgery on the 23rd of this month. I’m excited and nervous all at once. Feels like I’ve been waiting so long for this from having insurance

So I’m prepping for RNY surgery....getting all of the requirements out of the way etc. And I have my psych evaluation on Dec 10th. I was told it was a 4 hour appointment. I’m sitting here wondering what on earth will be going on during those 4 h

So I met with the surgeon today for my consultation. It was the the same surgeon I met with before a couple years ago when my insurance did not cover the surgery. So at that time I didn’t proceed any further.

Today I had my consultation,

So I recently got a new job with health insurance that covers bariatric surgery. I’ve been considering this for a long time now and finally in a position where I can get things started.

Even though I’ve been considering this f

I’m just posting because I could use some prayers and positive thoughts.

Many of you know my story about how my health insurance does not cover weight loss surgery and how badly I want it....how badly I need it!

For the past couple

I’m at that point now. I’m just tired of trying and don’t think I’ll ever get there. I met with a weight loss surgeon last year who told me I’d be a better candidate for gastric bypass rather than the sleeve because with the sleeve I wouldn

It's been awhile since I posted. As I've posted before, my insurance does not cover any kind of weight loss surgery so I've been trying to find other ways to get it.

I applied for medicaid, but I did not qualify. I also recently m

So I finally have a consult appointment with a surgeon on June 8th so that I can discuss getting referred for a grant since my health insurance does not cover any form of WLS. I will have to pay for the consult out of pocket, but they said they won't

I've shared my story on here before about not having insurance coverage for WLS, but so desperately wanting it.

I'm still searching for other jobs that might offer insurance coverage for the surgery....but in the meantime I've contacted a loc

I don't know how much longer I can go on like this with no hope or nothing to to look forward to. I'd love more than anything to have weight loss surgery, but am unable to right now because of no insurance coverage and money.

I'm a little bummed because I just recently sat down with my mother and told her about my decision to have WLS. I had been throwing the idea around to her before and I told her about how my insurance doesn't cover it etc. But this time I told her I w

Since I'm unable to get weight loss surgery anytime soon I figure I need to do something because it's so hard living like this.  My joints hurt, my back hurts, I'm always out of breath, I sweat all the time, my blood pressure is high, nothing fits etc.

So disgusted right now.  Went to my doctors appointment yesterday and found out I had gained 9 pounds.  I was in the grocery store today and my back was hurting so bad and I was drenched in sweat. ...

I guess I'm just a little bummed and looking for some positive vibes.  I want so badly to be able to have WLS, but my health insurance doesn't cover any form of WLS whatsoever.  I'm pretty much living paycheck to paycheck as it is so self pay just isn'

Hi, I'm new here and looking for all the information and advice I can get.  I am very much interested in weight loss surgery as I am at my wits end with dealing with this weight.  I'm currently 34 years old, 5'4" and weigh a massive 320 pounds, which i
