Trying again

I just tried this and it was AWESOME !!

Get the "cpt code" off the internet for your particular surgery. Call you insurance company and ask them what the requirements are for that cpt code. Your doctors office should be very versed on how to get you approved. When I got approved they had all kinds of co morbids that I am not so sure I agreed with, but I dont care, I got approved.

click on this even if it says 0 imagaes. can anyone tell me how to put a single picture in here

The post op pics are there, not sure why it says no image

I am sure each of you were told that it takes approximately a year to loose a vast majority of the weight. U came home from the hospital 11 lbs heavier, it is water/ fluids. Be patient. Almost all pain is gone after 2 weeks. I am a month out and down 27 lbs. hang in there

Here are some pics from my gallery. Start Program 12/6/11- 258lbs Surgery 6/4/12 - 245 lbs 1 month post op- 7/3/12- 218lbs First pics pre op Post OP

It has worked for me EVERYTIME

Just reading this, and wow is all I can say !! Who would have thought!!

Drink something hot, take gas x and walk around the house as much as you can. Tonight I ate something and within 2 minutes was off to the bathroom dry heaving, found that I must have gotten a pocket of gas somewhere. I could tell because it felt like the gas I had in the first 2 weeks and I drank some coffee, took some gas x and started burping the gas out. It took me 2 hours to get rid of it, but I finally did. At first I thought I was dumping from a canned mushroom, only to figure out it was gas, and to be honest not real fun. Best of luck getting rid of it, just telling you what works for me..

Lots... Try something hot lie herbal tea, it helped me a lot. I had gas pains for 2 weeks. It was worse than the incision pain. I am a month out today and feeling great, keep up the good work !!

I did not have a drain either

This whole thread has made me laugh. I will give you some of my "unexpected" list 1. After surgery you will be amazed how hard it is to move in the bed I was pushed by my mother to get out of bed the first night to walk, I was glad I did, she had surgery 8 yrs ago and knew what wa right and wrong. Thank goodness I have her. 2. Gas pains, Omg... The worst part for me, it was worse than incision pain, gas x, and hot fluids and walking it out helped the most. It was rising to my shoulder when I laid down and made it hard to sleep. It took a good 16 days afte surgery til gone. 3. Having to remember NOT to tasty food I was cooking for others. 4. Getting in enough Water and Protein 5. Hormonal changes, wow, tears, getting impatient quick.

I live in coopersburg pa, between Allentown and quakertown

I noticed I have a couple too and thought that was strange. Hormones real ate whacked, That I definitely noticed

Surgery 6/4 , first one I. Up and walking that night , swallow test in am, liquids for lunch, home at 6pm. Overnight only

Surgery 6/4. Down 25 lbs, but indefinitely feel 40 lbs lighter. Start measurements , you will be amazed. I have lost 30.5 inches, that was at 3 wks post op

Congrats, can't wait to hit that mark. 1/2 way there

I am starting to feel bones and muscles in my body that I was never able to before. I always had a flat wife ass , and now any padding I had is gone. I feel for ya... Pillow is probably best idea.

I am sorry to hear about those that have a lacking of support from family and friends. I have been very fortunate as both my mother and sister have had successful surgeries and my family has Seen how much healthier they are now. My lack of support came from my employer who fired me 10 days before the surgery with a bogus Claim. I am laughing as I collect unemployment and spend the summer healing and time with my son. I hated the job and the mangers sister had surgery and failed miserably. I love the support of this forum and wished we could all get together. I look forward to talking to people that are going through the same thing right here and now . Prayers to all of you.

Glad to hear, saw you were really struggling. Each day gets better. Best of luck continuing
