TinaD how did surgery go hope all is well and you are up and about.. BTW I grew up in Mineral Wells have you lived in Weatherford all your life?

Sorry for your friend..What a tough time lately. God shall see you through!!

I have the same problem with smoking. Quit a couple of weeks ago so I will be ready for surgery in Jan however my husband refuses to stop smoking in the same room with me....

Sorry typing on my blackberry. Meant the 6 months

I have two more visit done be Dec 4th. How much did you losein the F months. I have lost 14lbs need to lose 7 more that I am really strugling to get off

Okay so the nurse at my doctors office said that my surgeon will cover the staple line with a type of glue he will make with my own blood. I have not heard this from anyone that has had the procedure??? Anyone have a clue??

JSoc WOW 34 pounds... I hope I have that kind of loss my first month

I read that it helps to heal faster if they use your own blood??? Also said that is what they used during the War War II when somone had hollow wounds??? Crazy...

That is great though 11 pounds never to be seen again and the 9 inches wow!!! Can't wait I have two more months physician monitored diet... Uggg

Found it the one made from your own blood is a Fibrin Sealantm. Glad to know there is an extra measure for leak prevention... Looking into the evaseal as I have not heard that either.... Wonderful to hear you are doing well... SOOOOOO. What's the numbers???

I have been trying to find anything on it. Something about using only the platelets to help heal faster..

That is so awesome... Very very happy for your new life

OK let me see if I can get it all in her... Fat is being extracted from the cells, in which it is stored in the fatty tissue. When theses cells are emptied they serve no purpose, the body breaksdown the cellular structure and absorbs it. But breaking up of useless cells, connective tissue, blood vessels ect. May lag behind the process of fat extraction. When this happens the body appears to replace the extracted fat with Water which is retained for this purpose. As water is heavier the scales may not show no loss of weight. When the tissue is finally broken down the water is released and there is a sudden flood of urine and a marked loss. The appleday will assist with the elimination of the Fluid

Ok I found out more on the apple day your body is breaking down fat cells and your body is replacing the fat cells wit fluids the apples and Water supposed helps your body to flush the fat cells after the ketosis. Your body will then start to break down more fat cells

You know I used to do the HCG diet and everytime there would be a stall they recommended an apple day. Don't exactly know why but it was like eight apples in one day and nothing else but water... Might try applesause all day???

If the heart is racing and that is a new symptom and not being caused by not taking your meds please contact your surgeon as that is one of the symptoms of leak. At least that is what I read in my papers from my NUT

How awesome for you I am starting at 216 as well and currently 198 with the 6 month monitor. What were you at on your surgery day???

I am at the same BMI as you I believe by the time I am done with the preop stuff I should be around a 35 to 37 BMI and I am determined to have this urgery I am exhausted and so tired of constantly hurting and having diabetes... I just wish I could be done with everything already

Well yes Aetna will catch up as they have no problem telling the doctors you haven't had a momogram or your annual exam or visit to the eye doctor or the blood test they feel you should have.

Not giving you much time for Pre-Op diet or maybe you will get lucky with a three day pre-op since you had to do the three months, Call them everyday.

I just read that your Aetna has a 90 day rule????? My paperwork says 180 cosecutive days. I have Aetna POS II. Kinda funny they call it POS.

Finish my Physician monitor first week of Dec so hope to have at the latest a Jan date..

Prayers for TinaD. God send a routine surgery and a speady and uneventfull recovery. Try not to stress as it makes your tummy muscles tense.

High I am in Mansfield and work by DFW. I am in my 4th month of the physician monitored diet hope to be sleeved after new years.. At least with that date my entire out of pocket will be met the first week of the year and if I have complications they will be covered at 100 percent

I submit mine soon to Aetna let me know how long it takes. My doc says Aetna usually pretty quick. Like a week
