I have had three children. It's been a while. My youngest is seventeen and just graduated from High School. This was way before I had the sleeve. Had severe nauseous with my second child. Threw up...
I had breast reduction surgery in early February. Wish I had the surgery years ago. Most of my back pain is gone now. Insurance paid all but a 250 deductible.
Really. Live in Maryland too. Mine says 280. I weigh 175 now. Maybe I should get a new license.
I am seventeen months out. I had blood work done two months ago. All my levels were within normal range. I take my supplements religiously. Three Calcium pills, two multi vitamins (with iron) and two...
I started my journey in June of 2013 at my first doctors visit. I weighed 295. On January 3rd of 2014 at 8:30 a.m. I had my sleeve done. I weighed 276 that morning. When I went in for my first post...
I am 5'8" and my starting weight was 296. Had my surgery on February 3rd 2014. I set my goal weight at 175 also. I am two pounds away as of Saturday. You can do it. Good Luck.
I asked what his complication rate was.
I read somewhere that the stomach does figure out that it's not producing grueling and starts up again. Bummer.
I am not the food guru but I can tell you that I am fifteen months out and I still weigh my food. Meats are usually four ounces. If I am not eating a vegetable I might eat five. Rice, potatoes, and...
Good Luck. My insurance paid for my breast reduction six weeks ago. The plastic surgeon handled writing a letter for me. I have also had back pain for my whole life. Was approved within two weeks and...
The nutritionist said that a protein drink is food not fluids and didn't count towards the daily requirements of water. Maybe your doctor says different.
I had kidney stones removed last April. They laid me on my back and broke them up with sound waves. That part wasn't bad. I had to have a tube in for a week. From my pee hole to my kidney. Only thing...
I had the same problem so I had breast reduction surgery in February. I had lost a little over 100 pounds and hadn't lost more than a pound in three months. Went from a size "G" to a size "D". Have...
I also have low thyroid. I have taken medication for years. My PCP has me come in every three months for blood work. When I lost about fifty pounds she lowered the dosage. I do think that it effected...
I read your earlier post about your PCP and vitamins. I also take two Flintstone vitamins a day (with iron). They were recommended by my nutritionist at the bariatric practice. I get blood work at my...
I had the same problems along with chronic back pain. Had a breast reduction five weeks ago. Haven't had back pain since morning of surgery. I feel for you. Good Luck!
I drink the Premier Protein, chocolate flavor. I get mine at Sam's Club. 30 grams of protein with 160 calories and 5 carbs.
As you get further along you can eat more. At over a year out I can eat a small salad with 4 oz of chicken breast. If I just had the chicken I could eat 5 oz. I still drink a protein shake in the...
I take two Flintstone chewable, with iron (recommended by my nutritionist). Two Biotin, one in the morning one in the evening. Calcium pills three times a day. You cannot take the calcium with the...
I just had upper and lower eyelids done. I also had a breast reductio and lift. Insurance paid for the breasts but not the eye's. The quote for the breast lift/reduction was 6,000 and the quote for...
Kathleen. Someone told me that if the eyelid is obstructing your vision insurance may pay for eyelid surgery. You should check that out.
Hey Kathleen. Sent you the info in a PM.
Let me begin by saying if you are looking for advice on how to break your stall don't read any further. I am fourteen months out. Only lost about a pound from November to February. Total of 105....
There is always going to be people who say that this was the easy way. If you have come as far as a surgery date than you have been thinking about this for a long time. Don't let your Mom stop you....
