- I finally told my mother about my upcoming surgery. I was kind of forced into telling her because I needed to ask her for a ride to my endoscopy appointment on Tuesday. My husband couldn't get off from work to take me and my daughter doesn't have...
- Another question for everyone. When you saw your pulomologist did every get sent for a sleep study? My note from my surgeon says "pulmonary function test and sleep study if indicated"So it is clearly not a requirement. I don't mind having the...
- For those of you who had to see a cardiologist what did the appointment consist of? Did they just check your blood pressure and go over your medical history? I do not have high blood pressure or have any cardiac issues so I am not sure what to...
- I knew this would happen when I started to tell people. I told a friend of mine todayof my plans for surgery. Her reaction was not what I expected from her. She is a big girl like me we know about 5 people who have had WLS and have been...
- I know a lot of WLS patients wear medical alert bracelots afterwards. There are some really cute ones available now. If you wear one what do you have on it to alert medical people that you have had gastric bypass surgery?
- Wooooo Hooooooo! I just called and I have a surgery date. It is September 12th, 2 days after my 46th birthday!!!! I am so excited!!
- I had my third nut appt today. Down another 9.5 pounds which makes my total 25.5. I also had my GI eval and got my endoscopy scheduled. So now all I have left is my pulmonary appt (7/30) and my endoscopy (7/31) and I am all done my pre op appts. ...
- I seem to have hit my first plateau and it is not fun!! I am pre op and my surgeon and nut what me to lose a significant amount of weight prior to surgery. I started at 347 and the goal they set for me is 291 prior to surgery. I have been doing...
- My primary doc just called me to let me know he got the results of my Upper Gi from a little more than a week ago. I haven't heard from the surgeon yet who ordered the test.He told me that had three findings1. I have a small hiatel hernia which...
- What does everyone do for exercise? I am pre op and at my last appointment on 6/28 I weighed in at 328, I am pretty sure I am down another 5 or so pounds from that weight. My nut wants me to add exercise. I have a very bad knee (osteoarthritis)...
- OMG! I dont think I have ever had so much blood taken at one time. The first attempt on my right arm was a bomb, she got a little blood and then started wiggling the needle around in my arm and I was like you have to stop or I am going to either...
- I have signed up for a Flexible Spending Account through my employer since I knew I was going to be incurring a lot of medical expenses this year with my surgery. I haven't used it yet and I was not 100% sure exactly what healthcare expenses I...
- I have my psych eval today at noon. Looking forward to getting it over with. I will check in after to let everyone know what it was like.
- Ok I have seen this issue mentioned several times on the message board. I am pre op and my NUT has me on a diet to lose weight prior to surgery and it is a very high protein diet. While I am losing weight and most of the time I am not hungry. I...
- I totally went of my diet last night. I have been doing so good losing the weight the surgeon wants me to lose before surgery. But last night I ate potato chips and a klondike bar. Compared to my pig outs of the past this comparitively wasnt bad...
