Remembering to take my vitamins :confused3: -
I sympathize with you. I also understand the initial shock, disappointment and worry. I too have UHC and I did not have to do a supervised diet at all. My BMI at the time of surgery was something like 43 I think. I did have to fill out a packet from the surgeon that included a 5 yr weight history (to show that I didn't gain weight all of a sudden) and I had to list all health issues that are weight related. The last thing on the form was to list all of the diets I had tried, how long I had stuck with them and how successful I had been on each one. I had absolutely no problem getting approved. Maybe you can ask your surgeon if they have a form like that. Best of luck to you!

slow weight loss
Determined1 replied to hopeful2 be slim's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't lost any weight in the last month. Now, with that said, I definitely know why. My portions are not large at all; however, I find myself eating ice cream more often than I should. So, I've decided to get rid of the ice cream and see what happens. I did start Zumba classes about 2 weeks ago twice a week. I am going to add the treadmill 3x a week and see what happens in the next 4 weeks. Hang in there. You might need to tweak what you are doing just a little. You will soon see results. Good luck! -
Thank you for the add and words of encouragement! Best of luck to you on your journey!

2nd fill today and no progress in a month. I guess I'll kick this exercising thing into full throttle!

Hi Marsha! My doctor is at DePaul Hospital in St. Louis. His name is Mario Morales. I had surgery in May and I go for my 1st fill next week. If I'm not mistaken, fluoroscopy is when they do the fill by the xray and that is what was explained to me will happen when I go in next week. Good luck! -
I've been wanting to try these syrups. Can anyone tell me if they have an after taste?

Good luck to you! I'm sure you'll do fine. Keep us posted.

The "broth" I found that I can tolerate is actually a bouillion. It's called Not Chick'n... I found it at Whole Foods. My pre-op diet will only be clear liquids so my nutritionist isn't real worried about my sodium. It's the only kind that I have found that I can stomach... Good luck!
