How much chicken broth/water did everyone drink? I'm on day 3 post and I'm not sure how often to eat. Bc I'm honestly not hungry which is great!!!

I was the same way. Everyone's Pains I notice are slightly different. I am day 3 post op and am not having any complications. Just dealing w pain and swelling. I had some really painful swelling and tightness in my chest but was given meds and it subsided within minutes. So everything is going to be alright. Nervousness and excited come w the deal lol

I stayed 2 nights, the 2nd night was my choice bc I was nauseous the first night and in a lot of pain. But thankfully no complications and I hope none in the future. I'm not really hungry at all now that I am home on my 3rd day post op. I have to schedule myself to eat. So far loving my sleeve.

Congrats!!! This is my day 2 of my sleeve and you inspire me

Yup I'm sure this pain will subside bc it's a little more than I thought but it's diminishing each moment that passes.

11 hrs post surgery and although it honestly has been tough and painful I see the light at the end, so far paying attention to your body is important. Rest and wall

I bought some isopure on amazon! but will have to force myself to drink it, it can't be worse than drinking straight vodka, rum, or beer yuck so I guess I have to drink them bc I bought a twelve pack !!!!

Haha I just hope to be on the losers bench w you!

Good luck to you!

Haha me too! Surgery at 8am tomorrow!

Geez I wish all I had to pay was $301!!!! I had to pay 10% but it will Be worth it on the long run. :-)

Ppo lol my phone is nuts!

Oh and I have UHC choice plus pop plan

Yes, it's different Billing INS they always try to get.more. Self pay would.have been $14,400.00 but you know that's how it is in the USofA lol. I am happy to being this much closer. July 5th is my morning!!!! Just thought I would share what happened bc I was curious of what to expect.

My preop appt consisted of weight 269, height 5-6.5", urine sample, blood work, EKG, and a chest X-ray. Anesthesia woman came in and asked a bunch of questions from what medications do i currentlytake, when was the last time i took them. She asked if i took any drugs or marijuana. They ask because smoking cigarettes effects healing and so can marijuana use. She asked if i bruised easily or have been sick recently. Everything took maybe a couple hours. I was told the estimated amount of this vsg surgery is $65k and the insurance allowable portion is 10% so out of pocket I have paid to the hospital $2,142.00 (not including meds and prep foods) not bad considering the surgery is so expensive. I just hope no other bills are sent to me... Now on to patiently waiting for surgery day.

Stick with it. He will either be there for the finished product or not. If he loves u, he will support u in your choice. My husband is the same as urs and works out daily although he is not jealous, he never was even in my smaller stages, so divorce is not happening here just sum more sexy time, comfortably! Lol

Congrats!

Gosh can I have a copy!!! That would help me soooo much! Surgery is july 24h for me! If u would be so kind or anyone be so kind to email me recipes lists etc to Lindarosephotography@yahoo.com I would be forever greatful!

This will be the summer we fell in love with ourselves! Well at least a start! Lol

I have uhc and they processed my surgery approval in 1 day! Whether it's the sleeve or bypass its ultimately up to u I have seen ppl w surgery fail and still be overweight... My surgery date is July 24th can't wait to be a loser

How old are you that u feel peri menopausal? Both look soooo young, well too young for that? Time waits for no one! I am going to be 32 in november and don't want peri-anything!!! I hope it doesn't creep up on me

Omgosh finally I have a surgery buddy! Yayeeee! Keep in contact for sure!

Congrats for having great insurance! I went into this whole thing wanting he band til I had the meeting w the doctor and seen the issues he band provides sometimes and I wanted more of a permanent solution and opted for the sleeve too! I have my surgery on July 24th I'm behind u! <3

Wow wish this was my doctor doing it this way! I would love the possibilities of less trauma, hernia, or pain, and recovery!
