Smoking!?
My Dr required me to quit. I quit the first of May cold turkey and had surgery July 15. Still smoke free. Everytime I wanted to smoke, I thought about my weight and health. It was a real motivator. I figured it was a small price to pay!! Good luck

Unbelievable charge for VSG to my insurance
All medical providers have to bill what is their usually and customary rate and the the insurance companies pay what rate they have contracted with the provider. But the bill has to show the higher U/C rate.

6 weeks out and hungry
I am a little over six weeks post op. I am hungry all the time. I am not getting enough Protein. 20-40 grams a day. I am losing weight I just feel like I am eating all the time. I am using my fitness pal and staying around 1000 calories. I am just worried I will stretch my tummy out Any one else experiencing this?
