Janese58 replied to Janese58's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Normally I would say "F*^% it" and go eat about 10 oreos...but I cant even do that. -
Not 1 pound lost since surgery! Its been a week?
Janese58 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Has this happened to anyone else? I have been on only clear liquids since getting out of the hospital. I weighed this morning I weigh the same as the day I had surgery.....whats up with that? -
Did not realize bowel prep would be so rough..

What is bowel prep? I only had to take a laxative followed by 3 days of liquids only. -
Why Don't Skinny People Get It ?
Janese58 replied to trizzy35's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I once asked a skinny friend of mine how would she cope if she was allowed to drink only 1 beer...that was it...just 1. She loves to go have beer and watch the football games etc, go camping...all involve her friends and drinking. Like my activities involve going out to lunch with my friends. It put it into perspective for her. I also added she couldnt just quit drinking...that would have been easier....she had to drink one. Just like we have to eat now...just alot smaller portions. -
Almost Four Years Sleeved - A Cautionary Tale
Janese58 replied to Last Chance Lil's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I too would be curious what size bougie they used? I couldnt eat 6 slices of pizza before my surgery. -
Thats funny to me actually. I live in Orange County California, its more dangerous to cross the street in Santa Ana at night than to cross the border in the daytime with a driver. Unless you are in the back of a van under the wheel well being smuggled across by "coyotes".

11 months out. Few issues... are they normal?
Janese58 replied to TwoStepsBack's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
2 weeks to get an ultra sound...? Really? You could have a stone get stuck by then. Next time you have those pains go to the emergency room, see how fast they do one then. I had the same deal 6yrs ago, it was gall stones and I was told if I didnt have it removed before a stone got stuck that they would have to open me up and recovery time sucks for that, but if I have it done soon then its ez ...in and out same day. Work in 5 days. I of course took the ez way. Anytime I would diet I would get these pains. I didnt know what they were until I got the attack that was so bad I thought I was going to explode. What insurance do you have? -
Thanks!

For anyone postop on meds..were you able to swallow your pills post op? I take Wellbutrin and Trazadone.

@ Jenny ...so you just go in for surgery with only the night before not eating after midnight? Makes me wonder why Kaiser (and other insurance co) is so strict and makes a person diet for months beforehand? I have Kaiser but Im self paying anyway....in Mexico

I am finally able to begin posting....
Janese58 replied to Texas Gal's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
What does your pre op diet consist of? Just curious since your surgery is next week and you arent on any sort of pre op diet yet? Im jealous. -
Hi there....you should really consider going to Mexico alone. It would be the cheapest way and you could get it done sooner that way. Your husband could then watch the kids? There will be a few people on here going at the same time, no matter when you choose to go.

The bottom just fell out :(
Janese58 replied to VSG4aHealthierMe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
???Need to get it done in the US? Alot of us can't afford to have it done here in the US. Most people on here that have it done in Mexico do their follow ups with their PCP here. If cost is a big factor and for some it is a huge factor, Mexico is the only way to go....... -

Phone Consultation with Dr. Ramos-Kelly
Janese58 replied to CaliforniaJenn's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Im going to Dr Kelly next Tuesday but I didnt plan on talking with him until I meet him in person. -
With all this talk about depression I think I will be doubling up on my Wellbutrin.....this particular medicine has done wonders for me. Everyone is different....
-
I actually take Wellbutrin now for that reason....helps with being anxious or moody. Nothing strong or anything...sort of like if you were pmsing all month, this drug would help you level out. Helps me anyway.
