 Hey guys...my surgery went great...no problems.....dr didn't remove my gallbladder because he had to repair a hiatal hernia that I didn't know that I had!!

I have lost 13 pounds since surgery. Haven't been walking as much....really really hot outside and humid here in Arkansas! I've walked around the inside of my house some, but not as much as I should!!

No soreness last 2 days since July 11!!! I think I am coming around the bend to goodness! lol

 Guys!!! I've been approved!!!!! On day 5 of the liquid diet that I have to be on for 2 weeks......almost 1/2 way there!!! Surgery is July 11 and I'm nervous but soooo happy! :)

I am having the worst time with insurance. There are so many hoops you have to jump to get this covered. It keeps changing. Now because of some new dr diet forms, my surgery has been postponed until July! I was so close.

I am very disappointed and stress eating because of it........really bad!

Any tips? 

Whoa...slow down everyone....I know I am married!!

LOL..

My surgery has been scheduled for June 11, 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm excited, scared, nervous, anxious..........well I am obsessing about it.

:) 

Had to do a wonderful hemmocult! eeeckck! That sure was an expierence!!! lol

Ok guys...I need your help.
My initial surgeon appointment is May 22. I was told about 4 weeks after that would be the surgery day.

What are the most important things to have in the hospital? What do you wish you would have had or couldn't live without while you were in the hospital?


Thanks guys....  


Also.............. what is the best pair of shoes that you have that you couldn't live without?

 

Alone. That is how I feel in my marriage now. A couple of weeks ago we were grocery shopping and my back started hurting really really bad. My husband tells me to take the kids and go to the car. I get to the car and I can't move my legs to sit completely in the car. To make a long story shorter, he told me he supports me 100% in this surgery because he does not want me to be in pain anymore. That was until we went to the Bariatric Seminar given by my future surgeon last night.

He had the sour look like he just ate limes or lemons ALL NIGHT!
He has complained and complained since then. He said the thing that he knows upsets me, because my sister asked me the same thing. "If you eat healthy and exercise like you are going to have to do after the surgery, why can't you do it and not have the surgery?" WTH!?

I have had it! I can't even look at him. He knows I am pissed but seems to have forgotten about it today and keeps asking me what is wrong. What a jerk!

He said he is "terrified" of this surgery. I yell back saying, "you are not having the surgery!" 

He keeps saying how he supports me 100% no matter what. Well....I say bullshit.
Any advice?

watching The Biggest Loser - 2011

Hey guys. I am a fan of the Biggest Loser, in fact I have actually filled out that 10 page application and filmed a video and sent in my dvd. Of course they didn't pick me, but as I sit here today, watching my DVR'd episode, I am feeling a bit nervous. I have some questions that I can't stop asking myself:
1. Can I possibly lose this weight?
2. What will I feel like? 
3. Will I have flabby arms as bad as I have now?
4. Will I be able to work out my arms so they will look good?
5. How will it feel to be able to go into any store and not shop the little bittie plus size section that 9 times out of 10 don't even carry my size!?
6. Will me shoe size shrink?
7. Will my boobs firm up any?
8. Will I continue to think about food 24/7?
9. Will I let my husband pick me up? He always tries but I refuse to let him, lol
10. Will I be able to sit in the floor for long periods with my kids?
11. Can I drink a lot of water? Will it fill up my stomach from the surgery?
12. Will my stomach be flabby?
13. Will my hair fall out?
14. Will I lose any weight at all?
15. Will I be able to take vitamins without having to have vitamin shots?

These are just the tip of the iceberg. I dream about having this surgery, I dream about being skinny, I dream about being satisfied. I can't stop.

Did anyone else have these fears??

1. I have decided to get the Gastric Bypass surgery.
2. I work for the state. There will be a pilot bariatric surgery program that I will try my darndest to be part of.
3. I have a psychiatrist appointment 12-19-11
4. I have been in constant contact with the surgeon's office. They sent me things I need to do before surgery and stuff.
5. My family doctor feels that this surgery is the best choice for me and my family.
6. I will attend a seminar on the surgery at the hospital the surgery will take place during the 2nd week of January.
7. I already have my vist with the surgeon scheduled....May 22, 2012. Why so long? My insurance states that I have to have 6 months of physician monitored diet program.
8. I am currently taking Phentermine

I guess that is it. I am brand new to this and not sure how to explore and stuff...bare with me.
