    Almost Died Fm Vsg Surgery.

    If you really wanted that badly to know what happened to you, you would pull your medical records. By federal law the hospital/doctor has to make them available to you.
  2. I've been sleeved for 23 days and I hate it. I feel like I've destroyed my life and I will never feel ok again.

    What Would You Do?

    I'd rather pay cash for the sleeve than ever even consider putting the band anywhere near my body.

    Step By Step

    I'm in NY and did not need 6 months of weigh ins. It's more down to insurance rules than state rules.

    I Am Not Understanding....

    My NUT is totally against low carbing. She advocates making wise carb choices- but that's it.

    Step By Step

    Oh and my info session was mid-November, my surgery was feb 6th. Less than 3 months from start to finish.

    Step By Step

    #1,2,3,4,5 and 6 should be calls to your insurance company. Check, double check, recheck, check one more time, confirm, then confirm the confirmation. Do nothing else until you've done that!

    Secret

    Only my husband and doctors know! I started a really intense workout and dieting routine before surgery and just told everyone I had ulcer/hernia repair.

    Did The Dr Really Set My Goal For 100Lbs?

    I thought I was going to be painfully slow- but I've almost lost 30lbs at the 3 week mark.
  11. Also the only time I close a credit card is if it has any sort of monthly or annual fees attached. I've had a lane Bryant credit line open for years and I don't even have the cards anymore (long since shredded).
  12. I see addictions as behaviors that are destructive- it does not sound to me like you are being financially destructive- you are paying off everything you buy immediately. If you were amassing debt by taking out loans and lines of credit- then I would be worried!

    Does Everyone Get A Drain?

    I did not have a drain.

    Smoking Again After The Gastric Sleeve?

    If you can do without them this long you may as well keep on keepin' on.

    Hours To Eat A Slider

    Whoa. This thread got weird in a hurry.

    2 Weeks Out...

    This early out I think they're more interested in us getting some sort of nutrition in and the carb count just isn't as important when you can't even eat a full cup of food per day.
  17. I wouldn't fry with it at all! It will start smoking like crazy. It's more like a spread- you'd put it on your toast or something.
  18. Posting details here would be inappropriate *winkwink*
  19. I've been using it for years as baby lotion, diaper rash cream, and lip balm!
  20. On my last hospital stay it was found during an endoscopy that I had SEVERE erosion in my new sleeve. The Sucralfate basically turns to paste when it hits stomach acid and adheres to the lining of the stomach to promote healing. It has made SUCH a difference in just a few days.

    Loose Stoole

    Liquids in = liquids out!
  22. I'm on 20mg of Prilosec in the morning and bedtime. On top of that I take Sucralfate 4x daily and it has pretty much preserved my sanity. It's a miracle medicine!
  23. As much and as desperately as you want to get pregnant- I can not encourage you enough to wait. Your body had undergone a MAJOR surgery and it really needs the time to adjust to all of those changes. Wait the extra 6 months. In the grand scheme of things it will go by super fast and you will maximize your chances for the most healthy pregnancy possible.
