You're welcome dear. I do hope it helps!
Hi Aspinetti, I for one was initially interested in the band until I did my own research and speaking to physicians I work with who persuaded me out of the band related to many issues, i.e.,...
A few questions come to mind...Are you weighing and measuring every morsel of food? Are you logging it somewhere, for instance MFP (myfitnesspal)? Are you getting in your required fluids everyday? ...
I had no pain at all other than some muscular pain but no incisional pain. I was in the hospital four days (two days longer than planned) but because I failed the barium swallow test due to severe...
Have any of these "people" had the surgery? If not, ignore them. If so, ask them what makes it so horrible? I'm two months out and it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. I follow the...
Welcome and the best to you!
They were a little more intense with heart testing because I have severe swelling in my feet, left worse than right and it was found that I have left ventricle hypertrophy but have been reassured...
I was off 6 weeks because of the work I do.
Congratulations on your successful surgery. Walk, rest, sip, fart, repeat!
Do you take any BP meds? Might be worth seeing your PCP. Might be an inner ear problem. I suffer from BPPV (benign positional paroxysmal vertigo) but I had this way before my surgery

Congratulations! You've earned it!
Just a suggestion, but call your insurance company and ask for a copy of the policy and procedure manual on weight loss surgery.
Did you eat anything other than protein while on vacation? Anything? Even a bite or two of something else?
Don't know how often you are weighing yourself but do try and stay off the scale for at least a week. The stall will break.
I mix my protein shakes in my magic bullet and yes they get foamie but I let it sit for a few minutes, swirl it around and it's fine. No tummy issues either
Congratulations on your successful surgery! Walk, rest, sip, fart, repeat!
Oh sweetie, I'm so, so sorry! Have you asked if the diagnosis can be changed?
Congrats to you both! You are both doing great!
My pre-op tesing included: EKG, Sleep study; blood work; upper endoscopy; psych evaluation; sonogram of my heart
So happy that you are taking control of your life! I wish you the very best! It's the best thing I've ever done for myself!
After I met my deductible, which was $200.00, I paid nothing
