Hello friends! i hope everyone is doing well. I havent really posted on DS since the end of april/early may. I just wanted to give everyone an update. So the last time i posted i was beginning the journey for weight loss surgery. I started with a seminar in april. I have decided that this is the tool that will best allow me to lose weight and finally keep it off. I am still in the process of getting all my tests done b/c my insurance company required a 6 month supervised diet with my PCP. I have only lost about 2 lbs on my own so far. Im going to be getting the gastric sleeve. I have seen various specialists to make sure i am healthy enough for surgery. I expect that i will be getting "sleeved" sometime in October. I will try to post more often. Take care everyone!
I'm Miss Chatter Box. I'm the 1 who talks about everything & anything. within same visit I have chatted about constipation and what I like n should n shouldn't eat, lol . Ya that's me.
Everyone on here seems to be nice n helpful...
My Sister had lap o band surg.. She kept on having band readjusted to manage weight lost the way that she wanted. she choise to lose slowly
She is will pleased w lap o band n results. My Baby Sister now will out live me. That's the way it suppose to be. There's 9 yrs between us. same parents but I guess our parents got carried away a little more than normal,lol, 9 months later, poof my baby Sister returned home w our parents. we kept her, lol
Anywho
They always want a person to lose weight. 1 for the person health n to confirm if person will do fine before during & after sugery. they also want to show that if a person can lose on a certain diet w/o surgery, then the person shouldn't have surg.. so be careful. It is best to lose to get ready for sug. just don't over do it.
Oh my Sister gained weight due to medication that 1 of her Dr had her on temporary. then relentless stress of sepration/divorce she kept gaining n gaining.
You should do will. After your better don't relax into thinking that you can pig out, n use butter bread to sop up greasy gravy.
Keep us updated.
Thank you for info. it will be benifitual.
There I just said a prayer for you. I even included that ER staff have restful sleep n that sug also has sex the night befor. just want to make sure that everyone is relaxed n on their game point.
May you be w God for he is always with you. Above all all he longs for is companionship.
