  1. Oh ok they usually send it in on he day u start the classes. How long have u been waiting. Yea you definitely should have it done in August I would call them and they will tell you if it's been approved or not. They are so nice there
  2. How long has it been since you got the insurance approval?
  3. Kruger is awesome he's the best there. I would call them that's what I did I kept calling and that's how I got my date sooner. Good luck!!
  4. I'm a slow loser I started at 258 10/30/12 now 176
  5. When I had woken up from surgery all I felt was the need to go back to sleep was so exhausted. I was completely pain free I guess I'm not normal (Lol) I did have trouble moving around in bed though. The nurses kept telling me to push my pain button but I had no need for it. I did have gas pains on my 3rd surgery hot packs helped tremendously.
  6. So are you traveling from Vermont to have it done. I'm 9 months out and 83 pounds down
  7. Hi where in mass are you having it done? I had mine in Wareham with Dr. Kruger
  8. I had my 9 month follow up with Dr. Kruger a few weeks ago and he didn't know who I was. I had a leak and ended up with 4 surgeries and many visits with him and plenty nights at Tobey and so after all that I was shocked he didn't remember me. Lol
  9. Great your almost there some of the girls had there date by the last class. Good luck to you!!I'm almost 9 months post op best decision ever
  10. Wish there was a way to make myself get a rash in order to get insurance to approve it..Lol
  11. Congrats that's great to hear no weight gain either. Double the Love
  12. I was curious how much weight gain is expected during pregnancy. I know everyone probably has different numbers I'm starting to plan for my little bean and curious how much most of you have gained. I'm 8 months post op and down 76 pounds bringing me to 182. I know in my heart i should probably wait till I get down some more but truthfully I can't get this thought out of my head. I want a baby so bad this was the reason for my surgery..
  13. What's the pylori test I don't recall that one and was just wondering how far you had come last time around. I myself had done it twice as well I backed out the 1st time around for the fact that I didn't like the surgeon and it was my 1st surgery but I'm so happy I did because the sleeve wasn't around the year before I had done it. They start sending in the insurance approvals as soon as you start the classes your almost there
  14. I get mine from Trader Joe's
  15. Get MSM vitamins my hair loss was so bad I had like 4-5 bald spots in my head and one week of MSM and it stopped for me biotin didn't work at all for me
  16. How long did he keep you just wondering if it was just me that he only kept me for one day. Isn't the Tobey staff just wonderful there
  17. Good luck on Monday!! How are you feeling
  18. I have a purple bath robe from Kohl's it's Croft & Borrow. I had boughten it for my hospital stay so I only used it a handful of times.
  19. I would be careful and not go crazy on the shakes because a lot of us have tried and boughten shakes and then our taste buds changed immediately after surgery and it was a waste of money ( there is premier protein which just about everyone on my Facebook groups love they are the pre made ones and the chocolate is so great they are 160 calories 5 grams of carbs and 1 gram of sugar and 30 grams of protein
  20. I was told the same thing by Kruger himself and the RNY # are getting smaller as the sleeves are rising. I'm very happy with my decision I've lost 75 and feel like a totally new person. I had a friend who had Streeter and wanted the lap band and he wouldn't do it so she ended up with the RNY I think he only like to do them stick with your decision girl it is in my opinion the ultimately best way to go
  21. Thank You!! I feel like a totally different person now. I feel absolutely wonderful I'm loving the new me
