  1. Re: Insurance Denial-Anyone WITH Bariatric coverage over 40 BMI & still get denied?

    Pre_surgery I could've gained 6lbs in a week!
    My ob/gyn's office always takes off 2lbs to allow for clothing which I always appreciated, but make sure your doc doesn't do the same!
  2. Re: What not to say to someone before and after sleeve surgery...

    My medical history is my business. I'm a very private person and don't tend to tell people intimate details about my life unless I can trust them 100% or feel I need to. There's nothing bad or...

    This is really interesting, I love raw coconut water, good to know it has such a great effect on our bodies by flushing out harmful bacteria. However I have been told that the pasteurization and...

    Re: Bowel Movements

    I know general anaesthetic constipates people, so that contributes to it. After surgery the primary dietary goal is protein, protein, protein. Veggies, fruit, grains and cereals which is where most...

    Re: Think I'm getting a UTI

    I did thanks CamCat. I actually ended up going to an Urgent Care place near me as my GP was closed that day. I really needed to be seen as the pain from the UTI was spreading up to my kidneys and I...

    Re: Hungry all the time?

    If you're taking protonix and still having feelings of hunger a lot, perhaps switch up the medication? I don't know if that will help but it might be worth a try to ask your doctor for a different...

    Re: Eggs...not so good

    I had a similar reaction to eggs early on but I can eat them fine now. It might just be that you need to wait a while before trying them again.

    This is so cool! I miss living near hiking trails and the countryside. Living in NYC is lively and interesting but the older I get the more I just want to live somewhere greener.

    Re: What does "full" feel like to you?

    I start to feel like I can't take any more food onboard, and I'm mindful of not going past that point. It's just not worth that horrible, sickly, overly full feeling.
    But it's definitely taken me...

    Re: Gastric sleeve and missed period???

    Surgery messes with your hormones quite a bit iirc. If there's no chance you could be pregnant then I wouldn't worry, your body might just be taking a while to get back on an even keel, hormone-wise.
