The only positive is I've lost 4lbs of poop doing this horrible bowel prep ! Wish me luck .. I'm nervous .. and hungry you can't eat from 1pm the day before. And my appointment isn't till 2pm ( it's 8am now) I'm so hungry lol I wonder what my first food should be when I can eat ? Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

Myself I have always taken vitamins made for WL people. I know after I fired my Surgeon and went to another Bariatric Surgeon and was told that FLINTSTONE Vitamins if doubled, would be enough. But they were horrible!! After my RNY I was told to use chewable Centrum, way too sweet for me. I couldn't wait to get something else. In comes CELEBRATE capsules. If you wanted to (told by my DR) you can open them and sprinkle them on applesauce or other food. I had no problems swallowing them. I do feel it is very important to use Bariatric Vitamins but each to their own. I hope you can get this worked out.

Needle in ! Just waiting. And your husband sounds awesome ! I was in hospital for over a month In October with an unexplained inflamed bowel and horrendous gross symptoms but they couldn't do the test then as they said my bowels we're to inflamed so had been on steriods and pain meds since.

I can't understand what your saying in the second part about neutral being what you wanted to hear. All I know is I chew normal I don't know about anything else. Neither do I sit timing my meal. I eat Finnish move on the next task so can't answer your question. I have two kids I don't sit seeing how long it takes I'm sat talking and eating etc.

Looking like it's going great!

I’m so excited, my insurance approved in less than a day! My dream of being sleeved this year is coming true! I have a surgery date of December 20, a wonderful early Christmas present. I know for me it was important deductible wise to get surgery in this calendar year but I didn’t think it would happen.

So I'm having a really bad patient care experience with Penn Medicine's program and it has lead me to lose complete confidence in my surgeon, Dr. Gary Korus. His staff have been unfriendly, dismissive, and act put out when I have legitimate questions and am confused. If you are considering Penn Medicine to have your surgery done, I would reconsider. The whole program has been less than professional, almost from the beginning. I am lucky in that I found Christiana Care in Delaware and they're more than happy to let me transfer in and I don't have to wait for fscking months on end - I've got an appointment on Thursday, November 30th.

I had the VSG in Mexico in August of 2015 because my relatively low BMI disqualified from me receiving any coverage from my insurance, and it would have cost a small fortune to have the surgery in California where I reside. My total cost was $4200, which included a hotel stay at the Marriott and local transportation. I had a very positive experience there, no complications, and consider the surgery to be a tremendous success. My reproductive endocrinologist had recommended the surgery to me for my PCOS, and has done the follow-up blood work. I was initially very skeptical about going out of country for the surgery, but after researching it felt confident about the decision. "Medical tourism" has become an increasingly popular option for Americans and Canadians, and many of the facilities and surgeons outside of the US are equal to or even superior, but of course it's imperative to do thorough research before proceeding.
