I so keep getting this feeling that I'm gonna fail one of these tests/appts and I'm going to have wasted a year of my life on this. I have 10 more appts with my insurances health education program. Each time I talk to them (once a month on a 30 minute-

How did you get into the right mindset to start on your healthy journey? I mean, I'm supposed to lose 5-10 lbs in this year with no gains. I can't for the life of me get on track and start eating right. It's going to be a long 12 months and I guess I'm

I don't know if it's just knowing I'm working on getting the RNY or what but I'm getting worse at eating just whatever and I've gained 5 lbs since my weigh in at the clinic. I have a year to go and if it keeps up at this rate I'm going to be 300 lbs be

I told my FB people about my decision. Here is what I said. (What do you all think?)

Well here it is! You can like it, love it or leave it. Totally up to you, but this is such a HUGE life changer that I really will need and want as many of you

Consult went great! Got a list of to-do items. Starting with blood workup and h-pylori test- done today. Since my ins requirement is going to take 12 months my next appt at the center is not until 9-21-16. Until then I'll be doing a sleep study, seeing

Can't wait. They said during the informational session that this appt will be roughly 2 hours long. Can't Wait. Can't wait!!!!!!!

So I just had surgery on my arm on March 9 (unrelated to WLS) and had to take quite a bit of time off from work. I feel like starting my WLS without telling work is stressing me out, but I realllllllllly don't want to say anything to them for fear of w

They called and scheduled my first appt. It's April 20th. She said it will be about 2 hours long. Can one of you tell me what all goes on during the first appt?

Did the informational session yesterday and met one of the surgeons in the office. Wooohooo boy was he a QT!!!! He can see me anytime!!! lol Anyways, I k

Soooo excited to start my journey today by doing the first step. The informational session 4:30 - 6:30! Woooohoooo!!! I so can't wait but will have a long one. Once the office recei

So I know that one of the steps to getting any WLS is to quit smoking. I've decided to give it a shot. I don't want to tell anyone in my life that I'm quitting for fear of not quitting so thought if anyone understood, it would be you all. I haven't had

I just had surgery on my arm last Wed. I've had this problem on very few occasions before now, but ever since this surgery I've gotten heartburn many times. Do you think it's just a temporary thing because of this surgery

I am in the beginning of the process for rny surgery. I go to the informational session on 4/7/16. Anyways, I just had surgery this past Wednesday on my arm and I had a VERY hard time waking up and my oxygen kept dipping down to 80% freaking them out.

I found out that the 12 month health education thing with my insurance that I have to go through is just 1 monthly phone call that last's 20 minutes. grrrrrrrr So aggravated that I have to wait a year

I'm so back and forth about this decision. I want it and think I need it, but then I get to thinking about my reasons and second guess myself. I have severe osteoarthritis in both knees and lower back, thyroid issues, but

Did you make a list of questions for the surgeon when you went the first time? I have a thousand questions pop up but always forget to write them down when I think of them. Now I can't remember most of the really good ones. Can someone give me some exa

I'm leaning more towards getting an RNY, but was wondering, will it make a difference if I've had a partial hysterectomy and a c section?

Thanks,

Terri

What are all of your opinions on having the Sleeve done vs RNY? I am 46, 5'6" and weight 265 lbs (bmi 42.2). I carry most of my weight higher on my abdomen with a smaller chest. I want to get down to about 135 lbs with as little of a chance of regain/
