    LOL i'm like welll... tax season just ended lol
  2. I was told the same and then they threw in the 6 months pcp weigh in out of nowhere. Hope you don't have to go though it. Good Luck!
  3. Oh wow. I did not know that at all. They gave me chewable tablets for acid but they never mentioned anything about gallstones. I will def. ask my surgeon when i see him soon about it. Thanks!
  4. Birth control lol... sorry my mind keeps going to the day of my consultation. I had so many questions and forgot to ask. lol
  5. Congrats. You will be fine. As long as you keep the same insurance with the same requirements you will be fine. You will probably be apprived faster when they see that you were approved before. Good Luck!
  6. Its really up to you. Questions in regards to your health and family past health and how it can complicate surgery. How much does he/she recommend you should lose. What you will need after surgery. How can you prepare before hand. Believe me you'll think of stuff while they are informing you. Good luck and congrats on choosing VSG!!!
  7. Day one and day two of my prep diet was the worst. I was mean and cranky. Wanted to strangle everyone who was around me. Had a huge headache and wanted to eat everything I saw and smelled. When I woke up on day 3 something told me to weigh myself and boy was I glad I did.. I was 5 lbs down and could not believe it. It motivated me to stay strong and I actually did. After day 3 everything was fine. I was no longer hungry moody or thinking of food. Good luck.
  8. It was difficult for the first 3 days but then everything just got normal. The month off really helped me alot. Work cannot tell you when to return. Your surgeon can. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen if your job tells you when to return to work after a major surgery. Especially if your doctor gave you a specific time to return. Follow up surgeons advice. He/she is the expert not hr. they are thinking about the company and not your health. Good luck.
  9. Have them call your surgeon. There is always a doctor on call at your surgeons office for emergencys. It's 24/7. Hope you get better soon. Good luck
  10. My doctor told me one month. I could have gone back a week later because I felt fine by then but I sat back and enjoyed my little vacation lol
  11. They are but they are so yucky. Well to me they are. I tried the already made shake from gnu fridge and it was okay. I have two big containers one French vanilla the other banana and I have not used it. But you might like it. I've tried a few more like Isopure, premier and some other ones and they did not help. But everyone's different. Ask for a sample before you buy them. Good luck!
  12. I don't consider wine as cheating... Maybe a quarter pounder or snickers bar or soda. Don't be afraid. You've been through this already with the band. It's not as easy as ppl here make it seem the first few days were a little difficult but I took some great advice from some friends on here and the nurses at the hospital. WALK walk walk. Please as soon as the doc says its okay walk around the halls. It will speed up your recovery and help release the gas pains. Good luck you will all do fine. Keep us posted and see ya in the losers bench!!! :-)
  13. Good luck. Everything will go well. Please keep us posted once you can. And please walk as much as you can as soon as they give you the okay to move around. It will help towards a fast recovery. Good luck again and remember walk walk walk.
  14. I have no idea how to pop this in lol. Gyn told me to tell my bf to do it for me. I always forget to take them and I originally asked for the IUD but she recommended that instead. Oh and she's never heard of the vsg which concerned me a little. Her recommendation was to according to my sleeve.
