Mirena (or other IUD) and VSG
I used to get Depo shots for about 8 yrs before finding out that it was one of the reason's I was gaining weight, after I had my son and they asked which birth control I wanted, I said anything that doesn't have homones I came to find out that all hormonal birth controls have that as a side affect, you could or could not have that side affect, but after what happen to me with the Depo shot I decided not to risk it... I have an IUD now I don't remember the name of it I just know it's the one that last 10 yrs and doesn't have homones.

Stupid Question how many days or how much gas x did you take till it worked
-
6 days Post surgery -UPDATE life gets better!!!
I am going to try the gas x and see if that helps. My dr. puts you on mushy food your last day in the hospital, I personally put myself back on liquids cause I couldn't stand the feeling, but like I said it hurts with liquids too just not as much.

6 days Post surgery -UPDATE life gets better!!!
I'm 4 days post op and can't eat more then 3 tsp of food at a time. I can't figure out if I am full or not because since surgery I've been having severe pain right behind my breast bone some have said it was gas, but I don't know, at first it was constant now the pain is there every time I swallow even if it is just my spit. Glad your feeling better maybe day 6 is the day i'm looking for now lol...

8 weeks post op and exhausted
- 5 Days Post Op and Here's My Story :)
congrats, glad your here the more the better...- Calling all low BMI sleevers
I have UHC and I am between 39 - 40 depends on who's scale PCP had 39 bmi on her letter, surgeon had 40 (with pre- diabetes)- what clear liquids did you have
Along with the Gatorade and Popsicles my Dr's list says Water, tea, juices, Jello, ices, ice pops (avoid red-colored Jello and ices and dairy) of course you should check with your dr- Waiting on UHC!
Good Luck I have UHC too, and it was a pretty quik response, but I didn't switch. they seem to be pretty easy as long as you meet their requirements..- Please put me on your prayer list
I hope everything works out, I'll be praying for you- What does 'full' feel like?
Great ? wish I could help, but I haven't had my surgery yet.. I'll be watching to see what others say- VSG Yesterday 6/17
Congrats on your new sleeve, Glad to hear your doing well- FOOD! FOOD!
I haven't gotten sleeved yet, but I can tell you that 3yrs ago when I quit smoking I felt the same way... I seemed like when I smoked I was the only one in the world smoking, but as soon as I quit I felt like everybody was smoking... Hang in there.- 4 month pic updates
you look great- Trader Joe's has the PERFECT Pre/Post Op Food!
Love trader Joes mine is 45 minutes away and so worth the trip, I didn't find them over priced I actually think their price's are pretty much in line with the rest of the grocery stores one long island.- 61 lbs gone...3 months post-op
You look awesome.. Congrats on the weight loss that is amazing - 5 Days Post Op and Here's My Story :)
