  14. so i started on thyroid medication & lost 5lbs & i feel like maybe thus may have been the culprit for my weight gain. i was doin a pre-op diet & was not losing at all! now since i started the meds, i feel so much clearer now; no foggy mentality like before & my mood is even cheerful now, it's like I'm back. so I'm questioning "what if" this was my problem. did anyone else go through this? or may it be a coincidence? my procedure is in the 30th, so I may be getting cold feet too.... hhhmmmm....
  15. I'm happy i didn't have sleep apnea, but the tech said it was very entertaining watching me sleep o_O well, turns out I'm a kicker, lol. He said i look like i was doing aerobics, i should weigh 10lbs at the rate i was going! I did the home one & it makes sense why it was all jacked up, lol....
  16. Welcome, i, like so cal am going through lapband vip & am scheduled for the 30th. It was hard on me at 1st because i couldn't find a surgeon within network. Vip informed me that if i wasn't approved, my insurance had to help me find a Dr within 50 miles. We couldn't, so i asked for outta network approval. Like so cal stated, communication with the Dr is important and knowing i can call them directly set my mind at ease, good luck....
  17. Omg, i just posted a similar question not long ago, i also couldn't find gas-x strips, I'm so relieved that chewable are ok :-) i also couldn't find the tylenol, the pharmacy was just to busy to ask for an alternative, but i think I'll try the store brand.... Such great info, everyone is awesome, thanks :-)
