  6. No its not good after surgery gull of caffeine & carbonation it will expand ur new stomach w/carbonation thats why we are told yo never drink carbonated crap again...
  7. At least you aren't waiting 6 mos.
  8. Try some warm broth or salada decaf tea..
  9. Take it every few hrs & dont strain truing to hsve bowel movements they wont come as often as previously due to food intake. It will happen.
  10. You can get paperwork at OfficeMax & hope he wont contest it.use irreconcilable differences & go that route. I live in Murfreesboro, tn if you wanna chat.
  11. you can donate skin in Alabama. .research it.
  12. Go dlow dont lift or push/pull til dr approves .drink plenty of fluids so a stricture wont occur.
  13. Do you have a stricture? Ask dr to scope you for asdurance of stricture this is usually covered gor the first yr which most appts are slso covered for follow up visits the first yr.thats why cost is so jigh for surgery.
  14. Breehuskins try the Flintstones chewable w / iron & zinc combined & Wellesse brand liquid calcium get both @ Wal mart.
  15. Try Nectar brand mixed w/diet v8 splash. I use a 20 oz gatorade bottle w / 1 scoop of nectar protein or 32oz bottle w / 2 scoops of nectar mixed with v8 splash that way you get your fluids &protein together. Keep fluid going in so you dont get a stricture.
  16. Did you go to any weight loss clinics? If so go get copy of yourrecords. I visited2 different clinics trying phentermine so i went in person to get copies for as long as 2 previous they just like to see you tried losing before hand. If you dont have that maybe they will use 2014 for your records.
  17. Get premier protein shakes &nectar & unjury brands were all brands i could tolerate with no grit taste vitamin shoppe carries these plus amazon sells them also. Unjury . com you can order direct
  18. I had my bypass July 22nd,2013 &still follow my protein & vitamin schedule.
  19. Hair loss gas always happened you just notice it more just keep protein between 60-80grams per day either fluids or foods or both & if its bypass surgery take vitamins religiously to prevent deficiency.
  20. Patience &prayers your dr submitted & phrased it correctly. Thats usually why denied.but continue appealing.
  21. start living your new life & do whats best for you & what makes you happy in careers & personal life situations. .
  22. My guess is gallbladder & you can also feel like your having a heart attack from chest pressure thats part of gallbladder attack..have your dr or gallbladder ultrasound.
