  1. Two weeks is an awfully short time to heal from a mommy makeover.....usually off for 6 weeks here in the states. Mexico maybe different, but you do not wanna take chances of sutures opening up or any other complications by going back to work too quickly. When you go to Mexico for plastic you usually stay in the area for several days. Drains and all are removed before leaving. You stay in a hotel. Then you have to travel home and recuperate from your travels. Mommy makeover is extensive work. There are some really great surgeons in Mexico but you can't rush your healing. May wanna think about waiting for summer. Or take extra vacation time if possible.
  2. Can you say? Crazzzzzieeee!!!!!
  3. Actually looks great already. And once healing is complete you will be so pleased I am sure. Congratulations.
  4. www.wellesse.com have all liquid vitamins and are recommended for bariatric patients. All are fruit flavored. The b12 does taste kind bitter.
  5. Kcolli28 bariatric advantage was the other company if you email them they will send you out samples also. They will return your email asking you to call them. When you call them they will your info and send you out samples. You get them within a few days. Awesome to just try out to see if you'd like before you buy.
  6. Lol sorry misty quoted wrong one. Fat fingers
  7. Like I said most important that we take them. Better some than none.
  8. As we see here over and over all docs say something different. But you have to take more flinstones than is suggested on bottle. At least 2x. And I have seen some docs say 3x. So you have to weigh if taking the kiddie ones are worth it. And make sure you get flintstone complete. The cost after taking double or triple what you give the kids may not be worth it. Centrum complete has chewable if you don't want to swallow or order bariatric vitamins. But the quality and absorption of our vitamins are very important right along with protein and water. For healing, rebounding energy, cellular health, and to inhibit hair loss. Just make sure you get them no matter what you get some are better than none.
  9. Also I didn't say it but wellesse are liquid and are all fruit flavored. And very reasonable priced. You should check out there website. www.wellesse.com
  10. Some say flint stones with Iron are ok my doc says they are a no no. Not enough of what we need in them.
  11. Try bariatric fusion or wellesse. And they will send out free samples if you request them.
  12. A leak can happen anytime, but usually not after healed. Some say after six to eight weeks. However; some ppl here have gotten them months after surgery. Just gotta be careful and do what you can to prevent them. But that being said you can do everything right and still get them. But who wants to get a leak and be able to say to your self if I had only followed my doctors plan this may not have happened. It takes long hard time in the hospital and after care to get over a leak. It's no joke.
  13. Have you had plastics? Your stomach looks great?
  14. I have 4 more months in the 6 month supervised diet that my insurance requires. I get an email from the insurance coordinator at my surgeons office stating I can go ahead and get my psych eval done. I ask for a list of Doc's they use. And I call my insurance to verify which ones are network providers and what my payment to the doctor will be $15. That is what UHC says will be my full responsibility. No deductible or coinsurance. So, I proceed to call the psychologists in my network. I make an appt with one. i give them all of my info about insurance an all. Then I notify the insurance coordinator at the surgeons office. Ok I am thinking one more thing done....check that off my list. Well the day before my appt the psychologist office calls me to verify my appt and to tell me I will have to pay 465 before my appt......WTF!!! Ok that isnt a lot of money, but I purposefully coordinate all of my benefits so I can pay the least amount outta my pocket. My husband has been paying for this insurance 23+ years. Why shouldn't the insurance pay for it, right? Well I proceed to remind the lady from the psychologist office that we had discussed my insurance the the copayment when I made the appt. and I had verified with insurance what I should be paying. She tells me well your copayment doesn't cover everything. Your copayment is 15 then 350 for the evaluation an 100 for the report we send to the surgeon. I am thinking WTF.....then she tells me that if UHC pays them I will be credited part of the 350 for further visits. Well my brain isn't working well at this point or I would have told her to kiss my white A**. So instead I reschedule the appt because I was not prepared to pay almost 500 that day. All I can think is now I gotta wait longer to have this done. I have been trying to get everything done ahead of time so once the 6 months is over I can get down to business and have surgery soon as I am approved. After I calm down my mind starts working again. I call one of the other docs on the list and make an appt. I ask about they tell me copayment is $15 and they will take the whatever UHC pays. No deductible or copayment. Wonderful!!! We I go to the psych eval and try first thing the doc says is your not big enough for surgery.....ok thought he was supposed to judge my head not my body. The next this the doc stars fussing about how bad UHC. He states that UHC doesn't pay enough to the doctor. WTF!!!! We talk about the surgery about 10 minutes an the rest of the time (45-50) minutes about healthcare and insurance. On and one about how bad UHC is. They he tells me I have to answer 165 true or false questions. I do that in just a few minutes. Then the doc tells me he will submit it and send the report to my surgeon. He tells me good luck and that's it. I feel I didn't get a dang thing from this visit. It was nonsense!!!! But at least I only paid $15 for it I guess.
  15. Sorry have fat fingers can't Txt....call your insurance company 1st....if they exclude bariatric surgery they will not pay for the sleeve. But the only way to make sure is to call. That is your first step....
  16. Call your insurance company first.....if the excluder hat benefit try will not pay for it.
