My heart burn was horrible for the first two months. If its bad you need to go to your Doctor and tell them. They may give you something to help. Mine got better on it's own in time but I was...

Mine is still irregular. It just does what it wants to do lol.

Hunger isn't bad. I get hungry all the time, it's my body letting me know it wants a healthy meal/snack. Remember food is your friend so eat. I didn't drop for six weeks because my calories were to...

Oh goodness, I may be in trouble then. One thing I did love before this surgery was fat and grease. I will be having a conversation with my doctor lol.

I love my restrictions. I mean don't get me wrong it's been very tough to transition from eating an entire pizza + milkshake in a single setting to eating 1.5 oz of solid food. My liquids go down...

So does anyone know what causes a person to create gall stones months after their sleeve operation? Is there a way to minimize the chances of it happening? I really don't want to have my gallbladder...

It's been very hard for me to get in all my protein and water. I started having bad heartburn even with water. So I lose a pound every couple days. I know it's slowed because I need to eat more. When...

I would hate to hear if any of our forum family died. If Rox really did pass away that is sad. I don't think the way Jay put it out there was very mature or informative. Rox had the same surgery date...

Well I'm a few days out and yesterday was my first day of boredom and loneliness. So even though i'm not hungry my head kept saying I was. I had to forcibly remind myself that I don't feel hunger...

My boyfriend was scared for me, but he did some research and asked me if its what I really wanted. I told him yes and he's been supportive ever since. My mother on the other hand has completely cut...

:) I'm doing ok. Got gas pains bad in my chest and my mouth is super dry. Lol

So far so good. Nothing big going on yet. Got me in a gown and socks. Just waiting. Trying to stay calm. Lol. I'll message again after the proceedure.

I was told at my class yesterday that hair loss happens around 3-4 months because during the first weeks of being sleeved it can be very difficult to get in all your protein and water and our hair...

So I'm wondering, my class at the surgeons office basically said that to get to my goal weight and to maintain it I would need to adhere to a strict low carb low fat, low sugar diet, and exercise for...

Ok so I finally got a call back. So like you RRT I am covered 80/20 and since I met the 500 deductible for the year the rest is covered 100% (big smiles). This is a huge load off my shoulders.

Well see with the help of insurance I've already paid the surgeons fee of 1200 but then you have the hospital. And they also want their money upfront. I have no idea what to expect and if its more...

So im getting all my pricing figured out but I cant get the people in the financial office of the hospital to call me back so I can know what they're going to charge me. I work for the hospital so I...

Right now I'm taking either a One a Day Energy Multi or the Alive Womens Energy Multi. I add B1, B12, biotin x2, fish oil pill for omegas, and MSM. So far they don't make me nauseated, but I will see...

I called my insurance company its going to take me an extra 500 I don't have just for the lab work.

Other than a psych eval these were the only things required of me. Im hoping i dont have a huge copay.

So during this whole experience of getting everything right in time for the sleeve it came to my attention that I was going to be required to have blood work, chest x-ray, and EKG done on the 22nd. I...

Oh my, that's kinda scary. I'll just have to take it easy at work for a while. Just don't want to pass out on them.

Ok so I have been reading everyone's posts for days now and my main concern right now is about what kind of energy will I have after surgery and when will I get to a point when I feel great? I'm a...

Well I've been thinking it over and I think I will stick with the gallbladder surgery story and then later on if they ask about the weight loss I'll tell them I had also gotten sleeved for heath...

Sooo i'm unsure how to approach my employers about needing the time off to recover from surgery. I had planed on going to HR about it but I will admit that i don't want them to know about what...
