i am 9 days out and can sleep on both sides.. .I am a side sleeper as well so this has been a God send. I was able to start getting in all my liquids yesterday finally. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress,

My Dr says full liquids day 3-14. I am 8 days post op and I get that feeling if I drink too fast or take my drinks too close together. It helps when I slow down. Goods Luck

I am one week out and cannot wear the pants I wore to the hospital. My stomach feels swollen and distended... but is getting better. I went to my post op appt with my surgeon yesterday and he said it would go down a little each day and should be gone in the next week. I was able to sleep on my side last night... what a relief. Good luck and keep on sippin.:scared0:

My first weigh in after being sleeved!! High weight 299 Starting weight 275 Surgery day 250 Current weight 242 6 days post op

My Dr. was Manuel Castro at New Beginnings Surgical Group. I didn't have a revision, but I was VERY happy with the care I got from him and with his office. His prices seem to be competitive and he is very professional. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions. Good Luck! Av

Home and feeling good. Sipping my water and walking. Still using pain meds and suffering a little nausea, but nothing unbearable. Thanks to all of you.

Thanks so much!

I'm lounging here in my lovely hospital room. Had surgery this morning. I'm a little sore and tired, but all is well. Thanks for all the support thus far!

I'm on June 8th also... scheduled for 7:15... have to be at the hospital by 5:15... UGGH. Good luck to you both... glad to share a date with you! I know what you mean about emotions... mine are all over the place.

awesome.... thanks so much!!!

Yes, Aetna is covering vsg... they are covering mine next week. Be sure to make sure it isn't an exclusion on your husband's policy.

I want one... please.:thumbup:

I use fatsecret and LOVE it!... It is a free ap and you can also access it online free. I highly recommend it.

My surgeon's office handled it. I attended 3 group style meetings with the nut. and my seminar. That is all I had to do. You might call them and ask... but lots of plans are different. Good luck.

Mine doesen't... required 3 months.

June 8th for me. thanks for the thread

I got my weight history from my gyn and that was sufficient. They kept track of it when I went for my yearly appointment so I had at least a yearly record. My insurance approved so .... it worked.

I decided it wasn't worth it. i'm not willing to take any risks so I opted for an IUD and got rid of my oral contraceptives.

THANKS so much for the play-by-play. It helps those of us who are anxiously awaiting sleeve day. Knowing what to expect makes it easier. Av

While I haven't had my surgery yet, I have been quoted $189.

WOW!... this is a great resource! Thanks so much for sharing it.

Thanks for this post... very informative. I found Omega 3 chewables on BariatricEating.com - BE, Inc. The number one bariatric website for protein, vitamins, and success. Just ordered them... we will see how they taste. Good luck. Av

Glad to hear she is mending. Hugs to both of you!!! Keep us posted on her progress... and yours.

I have a Magic Bullet and LOVE it!... I highly recommend it. We prefer to buy ice from Sonic rather than make our own. It handles Sonic ice really well.
