Headed Back To Work
kimmy*custis replied to heatherinoregon's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Best of luck to you. I wanted to go back to work after one week, I felt that good but the doc made me take three weeks. -
WTH? That makes no sense whatsoever. I hate insurance companies so much.

Yaaay! Time for the happy dance!!!

I have an appt next week for a color/cut and I decided not to color because I am losing lots of hair right now. Better to be safe than sorry for me!

Had both, removed the next am, released at 12...didnt leave till 5...waiting for paperwork! Neither one was a big deal to me. Drain felt a little weird when he took it out but it was so fast...catheter was uncomfortable, not painful, even when removing.

Lots of rest, water and protein.

Have Been On 3 Weeks Stall =(
kimmy*custis replied to GabbyEstrada's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I am 5 months out too and yes, stalls are common for me now. I am working out too and stalling for 1-2 weeks then lose 3-5 lbs, stalling again and losing again...weird cycle but at least I am still losing. -
Sure, everyone has those thoughts, completely natural. I was super nervous too but when I got back to my room after surgery I was kinda laughing to myself " I was so nervous for nothing" Other than feeling a bit sick from the anesthesia, I felt pretty good. You will be fine! Just think of the wonderful future you will have, being healthy and able to do all the things you couldnt before. I feel like a completely new person...and it is awesome! Best of luck to you!

My Insurance Will Only Cover A Dr 126 Miles Away.
kimmy*custis replied to I am done mooing!'s topic in Insurance & Financing
Is that for just the surgery? Maybe you can go to a closer doc for the follow up visits? Maybe your primary care doc can do them, I dont see why not, it isnt rocket science to weigh someone and ask what they eat etc. I would call the insurance and ask for sure. Best of luck to you! -
Hot Dog Question
kimmy*custis replied to Diane Cuva's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have hot dogs quite often, no bun tho. I have kraut too, jalapenos, whatever I like on it. I have no desire for bread at all so its no big deal with no bun for me. -
