  1. Oh wow! The pain level good news having to have a second surgery sucks. I too plan to "hit the button" as often as I can lol. I really hope it's not too bad. Did any of you guys use the stomach band???
  2. I had Hycet before. I used 1/2 the bottle before I was okay, but I agree with you Don that gallbladder surgery was painful
  3. LMAO!!! I will b the same. I would opt for the no movement I'm not regular anyway my body won't know the difference. Lol I'm glad they give the good stuff for the pain
  4. Yikes! I had the gas pain the first time and it stays with you for a while. I'm a sap and don't like being in pain. Every stinking time I get my stomach cut its the pits, but I have seen people that are totally fine after this. If only I can b so lucky! Thank u Debbie!!! (HUGS)
  5. When I got my lapband in 2011 I was in a lot of pain after surgery. I'm now seeking a revision to RNY. Is the pain worse? The same? How long is the recovery? I can take it. Give me the TRUTH!
  6. Wow! Praying for u. Hope all goes smoothly tomorrow!! (HUGS)
  7. Congrats Everyone!!! wishing u all much success!!!!
  8. Congrats and Best Wishes !!!
  9. Thanks guys! I am just worried about going back and asking the doc to modify the letter. The more I read it I think I sound too healthy. Just word smithing. My doc did give me a template for us to follow. This is the last thing I need and it's stressing me out. I'm not willing to take a chance and risk a denial...
  10. Congrats!!!!! Best Wishes
  11. It's not a lie. It takes hard work. Truth is u have modified your diet u watch what u eat exercise etc. tell that, all truth.
  12. I'm scared. I just got the letter from the doc. In the office the letter sounds great. Well I just re-read it 50 times and now it doesn't seem strong enough. I'm so nervous and have not even submitted to the insurance co yet. I'm waiting for the bariatric docs office opinion. With each case we should get a box of clairol, I swear I'm gonna have a head full of grey hair. Do u guys think this letter is a deal breaker?????
  13. Wow that's hard!!!! Keep up the great work
  14. Congrats and welcome!!
  15. Good Luck Everyone!!!!! I'm sure it will work out for you guys! Keep us posted
  16. My doc said he would drive to my house and kill me. LMAO!!!! He is a awesome guy who cares and he pushes us to eat mostly food w/o a label, fruits & veggies. Best wishes everyone!!!
  17. Yikes! Fingers crossed for you!
  18. You look great! Awesome job!!!!!
  19. I'm late, but so happy for u!!!!
