PressOnward got a reaction from MOBD in When will pain at stomach incision site go away?
I was sleeved march 13th. And I have the same pain. I asked about it when I went for my 1 week post op. he said it was my spleen shrinking. And that they cut blood vessels during surgery. And the spleen pain would go away in up to 6 weeks. Sorry your going through this I feel your pain.

PressOnward reacted to PdxMan in Protein Drinks
Do you have a Sam's Club or costco nearby? Premier Protein are by far the most popular amongst sleevers here. Not for everybody, but I know dozens of us who have settled on Premier. If you don't believe me, do a site search on Premier Protein. chocolate or vanilla. I sound like a salesperson ... but I'm not!

If you eat enough Beans, you won't need the chia seeds! And if you have a husband or boyfriend - tell him to get ready for some gassy payback!

PressOnward reacted to SoCalDixieGal in Goodbye band!
And good riddance to my band tomorrow! After over five years it's time to say goodbye and hello to a WLS that works. Although call me crazy . . . .I'm going to ask to keep my band (not in me!) I want to finally see exactly what I've wasted so much time, money, energy and frustration.

PressOnward reacted to KRB829 in Excited! Want medical bracelet now!
I have one and I wear it everyday. My husband had it made for me, it's made out of diamonds, and platinum He presented it to me the day I was leaving the hospital. Mine has my surgery date and how much I weighed on the inside of the Bracelet, for my eyes only. I look at how much I use to weigh when I have cravings for junk, it's a great reminder. I'm never turning back:)

PressOnward got a reaction from kristikay in Newbie!
Just went to the seminar today. Going to Dr. Feiz. A great Dr. They are very thorough and answered all of my questions. My insurance pays 100%. I have BCBS of Illinois. UPS. Even though the dr is out of network the dr excepts whatever the insurance will pay. If I can get all of my prerequisites done I can have my surgery within a month!! So excited!!
