Yes, before I had my surgery my husband and I were trying to get pregnant. My periods were always irregular but after I lost about 60 pounds my periods were on time every month. I don't know if I...

How was your son after he was born? Did he have any complications? They told me she's in the 55 percentile. I don't really understand what that means :confused:

Congratulations! But I'm sorry to hear that you're on all liquids. I hope it gets better for you. Do you know what you're having?

I wanted to hear from all the moms and future moms (post sleeve) how your pregnancies went or how they are going. My OBGYN said I would have a complicated pregnancy due to my sleeve but its the total...

I just subscribed to your youtube channel. I can't wait to see your journey. I think you will be a positive role model to young girls who are also struggling with weight issues and who are thinking...

My doctor put me out for 6 weeks, which I was delighted about :) I have a desk job as well.

Welcome! If you have insurance, then I would check to see if they cover the sleeve. If they don't cover the sleeve, then Tijuana, Mexico may be an option. I believe it costs about $5000. I've seen a...

My weight loss has stopped as well :( been at the same weight for over a month, I think. I'm totally going to try the 5 day pouch test to hopefully get the weight loss kick started again. And I need...

At first I was weighing myself daily or a couple times a week. And just like you I got depressed when the needle didn't move. So I decided to concentrate more on how my clothes were getting looser so...

Ditto on what Ms. Jupiter said :)

My hair started falling out 4 months post op and fell out for around two months straight. It finally stopped :) I made sure to take all my vitamins and made sure to get my protien in. I honestly...

Before surgery I would always take a drink after each bite. I thought it would be really hard post surgery to stop this. I'm 3 1/2 months out and I am now used to not drinking while I eat. Don't get...

Congrats!! I too was a pizza lover. But after getting sleeved I don't even want to look at it. I tried a slice once and all that bread felt so heavy in my new tummy. Then another time I tried just...

Congrats on your success! When I get near my goal weight, I will definitely be putting cowboy boots on my shopping list :) They look so cute on you!

Oh and yes, you will feel better pretty soon. I felt great going into week 3. I wasn't tired or exhausted anymore. At the beginning I got really winded while showering and I needed my husband to put...

I got my binder from the hospital before leaving. Here is a link to what it is, and this one looks exactly like the one they gave me...

I had to sleep on my back for the first two weeks because if I tried sleeping on either side it would hurt really bad. Also wearing a binder helped with the pain. I'm 2 months out and don't regret a...

Hi, congrats on your up coming surgery! Next Tuesday will be 3 weeks post op for me. Hardest thing for me is waiting 5 minutes between bites. I was so used to eating fast before, now I really have to...

My surgery is tomorrow and my coordinator said to make sure I don't leave the hospital without my "binder". When I do get it, I will have to see how long they tell me to wear it for.

Sorry to hear about your bad day :( I have Cigna HMO and I too got denied because I was never on a supervised diet. So I made an appointment with my Dr. and basically I saw her once a month for 3...

Congrats! Can you tell me what the total cost is going to be. Do they do financing? Thanks!

Thanks for the info LADYLISSA :)

Hi, did Cigna make you go on a 3 month diet before approving your surgery? Congrats on your surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hi I have Cigna too and am wondering if you had to do the 3 or 6 month diet or if you already had that on record. Am also wondering if Cigna's ever approved anyone "automatically" (without having to...

I asked my future surgeon (if my insurance okays me) if yoga was okay to do after surgery and he said yes. That's a great muscle builder and toner. Makes you sweat a lot. I love it!
