thanks all i have made an appointment on saturday to see my doc. will see how it goes

Is any one suffering too. I am on meds I am fine all day long but as nite falls and I sleep acid starts coming out now am trying not to eat close to bed time and not eating my beloved spicy foods . Does it get better? I was fine until my last fill but it was taken out . Any advise any experiences?

Michigan in the house was banded also by the great dr.g at crittenton on 11/1/11 . Went today to remove the staples and got upgraded to puree food.

Hi everyone, Just want to meet some new people from Michigan. I was banded on 10-11-11 in Rochester by Dr Gazayerli. Where were you banded and how is Michigan treating you?

just until this coming tuesday, when i go in to remove staples.

Hey Raya2474! How long will you have to be on a liquid diet?

i was banded same day, today is much better although the big cut still burns a bit , its the most uncomfortable when i sleep. But today i am feeling hungry i want to dig in some food but still on liquids like Soups. my doctor told me i can have lentil Soup , chicken noodle soup that is blended good. but today was my first bowel movement since surgery and am feeling hungrier than past few days.

OMG, thanks a lot for that. I have the thermal heating stickers, i have an electric heat pad.

I didnt think of the gas x strips i will go get that right away. and thanks for the tips walking and windmill arms. I surely will do that

The chest pain you'll feel is NOT a heart attack...its gas from the surgery. Make sure you have Gas-X strips, heating pad and walk walk walk. Then when you're finished walking...walk some more. Do windmills with your arms. All these help get rid of the gas that makes you feel like you're dying!

Any advice?

getting banded 1/11 tommorow

I am having my surgery on that date. I have been reading up, but i am feeling overwhelmed with all this information. Is every ones post surgery symptoms/ pains/hunger etc different??

My medicaid is with deductible. when the bariatric doctors office sent it in my card was active but by the time medicaid got it and answered me back it was denied because my card of INACTIVE. they only activate it one month at a time depending on deductible and when u submit a bill to them as per amount .

anywho, my case worker apparently is not familiar how it works and is not co operating with me she keeps arguing with me, . Should i call medicaid it self instead of the branch to make my card active??? helpppppppppp
