Thanks to you all!!!!! :)
I never thought I would get to this day, yet here it is. One year ago at this time, I had just come out of the OR. I was nauseated beyond belief but not in too much pain. I woke up with alcohol...
I can understand being scared. I had a lot of time to think about reasons why I shouldn't have the surgery too. But the reasons why I should were way more pressing. We were of similar size...
I wouldn't think so, but I have more joint pain now myself, especially in my hips. I am actually wondering if it is because I don't have the fat padding around the joints that I once did. Sometimes...
Hi and welcome. For my two cents' worth - I am 51 and had my surgery last June. I have now lost 111 lbs. I reached my goal weight in December and have maintained it (actually have lost a bit more)...
Hello and welcome! Congratulations on your surgery - you will be amazed at how much you will love how your sleeve can help you to achieve your goal.
I am going on 4 months out. My surgeon told me for the first two weeks if I couldn't do anything more than broth and water I would be fine. Just to stay hydrated first and foremost. I sometimes...
Usually if you have any co-morbidities at all, insurance will cover a BMI of 35 - I only had high blood pressure and a BMI of 39 and I was covered. Sometimes it takes a lot of collaboration with...
Hey there - I sent a friend request. I am a baby sleever - just over 2 months. I will be happy to tell you more about my experience, but of course I have no yet met my goal or anything. Pretty...
Welcome, best of luck to you. I will answer no on the ketosis question. What is required so far in my limited experience of two months is drinking enough, eating enough protein, and adding...
I was denied by UHC as well but it was for not having documentation of my weight as obese over past five years. My surgeon had to do a peer to peer to have it overturned. I guess if they deny you...
I am starting my 7th week. I had an extended stay in the hospital (4 nights) because of nausea and vomiting when I tried to take my meds. Since I advanced to full liquids and beyond, I have thrown...
It is going to take more than 2 weeks or 4 weeks to start to feel normal. It is major surgery, and I have learned that our body needs time to heal, and our mind also needs time to relearn some...
Best of luck to you! Let us know how you are doing!
I was in the hospital for 4 nights, 5 days. I had a fever of 102 and also a lot of nausea with my medications. All is doing much better now though.
How are you doing now that you are home???? I hope you are feeling better!!!
Absolutely take the pain meds! You can’t heal when you’re in pain. I know some people don’t want to take them, and some of them can make you nauseated, but I still have to take mine right now at...
You’re going to be done before you know it. Some people really enjoy the hotel where you spend time post op. Will be saying a prayer for you!
I agree and hope all are having a great weekend
Wow!!!!!!!
I am in my room sipping on ice chips. Right now
They are making my nauseated. I am officially on the bench now. Have to change my status to “had a sleeve “
It's happening - I got the call on Friday to be at the hospital on Monday morning at 5:30 am for surgery at 8:00 am. Wish me luck, keep me in your prayers and I will post when I am able :)
I went to pre-registration at the hospital and my bill before I walked in for ANYTHING is already just over $20 thousand. However, I did get pre-authorization through the insurance that I have, AND...
