If you can afford it then I would say First Class. I on the other hand can barely afford the economy flight so that is the way I will be going.
I always choose comfort if I can.

I am still pre-op and if I eat too much I get hiccups. So I would assume it is the same for post-op.

Best option is to start to make sure you are prepped. If all is happening the same way as mom then you will probably get approval as well.

It is hard to believe that one year ago I was researching surgeons and going between excited, scared, and denial that this surgery was going to work. It has been an amazing 10 months (today is my 10th month surgiversary)!
Anyone considering this surgery - JUST DO IT!!!
I just paid for my flights and confirmed my surgery dates this past week. I have been nervous, excited and scared but you have helped me calm down a bit. Thank you for your update.

I can not wait to be on the loosers bench too :-D

I will be seeing Dr Aceves in February, whom I hear glowing reports about all the time. I have no clue about the cost. You should email the clinic and ask about their prices.

Looking good! Keep up the great work. I can see myself how you used to be and I know I can make a change just by looking at your pictures.

I have not tried nectar but they are fruity. You could order the sample pack and decide if you like them or not before buying a tub and not being able to return.

Hey, maybe my head will shrink too, and therefore the follicles will be closer together, and my hair will look thicker! One can dream...
I have to say you made me giggle uncontrollably because it sounds plausible! Ahhhh thank you for giving me a real good giggle.

I tried them a couple of times. I rinsed them well and then boiled for abit and it helped only slightly. The texture is something to get used to. If you think they are a replacement for spaghetti then you will be upset with the result. I am not a true fan and will not go out of my way to get them again.

There is also a brand from costco that is called Wellesse calcium citrate with Vit D and it is awesome! Two tablespoons will give you 1000mg so you could split it into morning and afternoon for absorption. I have tried this and I say the taste is pretty darn good. Bonus is that it is not that expensive.
Hope this helps.

If you do not follow your consumption of Water you could become dehydrated. I hear that can be a part of getting kidney stones. If you do not get the Vitamins and minerals you need from food you will have to take supplemets. If you do not take or get appropriate amounts of Vitamins and minerals then you can get Vit B12, B1, Iron, Calcium deficiencies. They and lead to anemia, B12 deficiency can lead to pernicious anemia.
So always stay hydrated and take your supplements.

Funny how the mind will play on your thoughts and fears in your dreams. I know when I am stressed or anxious my dreams are so weird. I hope you are able to find a happy place in your thoughts to calm your nerves.

I have had it happen to me after other surgeries. I hated eating chips for a year after I had my gallbladder out (taste was gross). Now my tastebuds are back. So I wonder if it has something to do with anesthetic in your system or what.

There is a liquid Calcium made by Wellesse. It is calcium citrate with Vit D and it tastes not too shabby. I found it at costco but I am sure you will find it other places.
