Yes, I have taken the big fish oil capsules for years now!

I take Calcium Citrate, Biotin, B 12 Sub., Super B Complex, Fish Oil, Vitamins E & C.

Yes, you can still have the surgery, I have it to and what the Doctor told me is that with the sleeve it may get worse. I take Dexilant for it and it works great! Good Luck on your journey!!

Jcam, congrats on your surgery! I am so sorry you got fired, doesn't sound right. Thanks for the encouraging words, head up, you will be fine. ;)

That's what I have heard. And, I know I read a post where someone had said they bought something to help with the dry mouth and they brought it to the hospital with them but I can't remember what...

I go for my visit with the Nurse and pretesting this Wednesday so I reckon that would be a good time to ask! Thank You both for replying and good luck to both of you on your journeys!!

True speedracer, thanks!

I have been told that you can't drink anything the first day but they give you something on day 2 of your hospital stay. Is there anything a person can buy to help keep your mouth at least moistened?...

Thank you Dlrbil and congrats to you as well! Best wishes for you on your journey!

My Insurance approved my Sleeve surgery, it's scheduled for July 9th!!! I am stoked!!

The only thing the Ins. is requiring now is a Pulmonary Function Test and I have to be released by a Cardiologist! I just had neck surgery on April 18th, 2013 and my primary Dr. got those two...

Hi, my name is Neicey and I had my visit with my Surgeon on 3-1 and I did the BreathTek test, it came back positive, Dr. put me on 2 antibiotics, Amoxicillin 500mg and Clarithromycin 500mg. Then I go...

Thank You all for your replies! I guess I will find out on. Thursday!

Does anyone have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance and if so, did you have any requirements that had to be met?

Scheduled for the seminar. Looking forward to getting that out of the way to get that much closer to setting the surgery date. I hope it goes by quickly, I am so excited for the first day of the rest...

Thanks for the encouraging words Marilyn, I Android sure it will be fine. My Dr. said I am a good candidate for this surgery, guess I will find out if she's right!!

Thanks Letizia!!

Got my packet filled out the papers and I'm getting ready to send it back but I'm just afraid I haven't filled them out good enough. Guess I'm scared I won't get approved, silly I know.

Thank you Mila!! How long of a process was it for you?

Thank you Nita, I guess I'm alittle impatient, I want it done NOW!! :-)
