Thanks ladies and gentlemen. I got some MiraLAX and stool softner amd im taking a fiber pill already. It has helped!

I had surgery 1/31/14. Ive lost a little over 80lbs. But I have a problem. When I use the bathroom (#2) it hurts like the devil. OMG. Can someone please help me...PLEASE HELP

Your welcome!!

Gteat! Glad I could help!!

Aetna wants you to either loss or maintain your weight. So just say if u started at 300lbs and you lose weight at every appointment and you do gain as long as you dont go over 300lbs. You can not go over the weight you were at your first weigh in. Does this help??

Aetna denied me for gaining weight. I had to do an appeal and I was approved then. Had surgery 1/31

I started my journey June 2013. I had to do 6 months of weight management classes. Sleep study, upper GI check and pulmonary clearance. My paper work was submitted 12/13/13. On 12/19/13 got a call I was denied. I was denied because I gained weight. So I appealed it. I have arthritis and degenerative disc disorder in my lower back. So I couldn't exercise what so ever. I could barely walk and stand. So I had been going to the dr over 2 years about my back. I also have PCOS. So I got all my records from my dr about my back. And I got all my records from my obgyn about my PCOS. I wrote a letter as well. I sent all this to aetna on 12/30/13. Because of the holiday aetna didnt get my papers until 1/3/14. On 1/7/14 my denial was approved. I had surgery on 1/31/14.

I have Aetna and was denied because I gained weight! Hopefully things will work out better for you! I appealed and was approved!

I lost 9lbs on pre op. I was sleeved 1/31. Had my first dr apt on 2/6 and had lost 18lbs for a total of 27lbs total!!!

Hello people!! I had surgery on 1/31. I really need feedback on protein shakes. What are some good ones to try? I was doing the chocolate pure protein pre op but I can not tolerate them post op. So im not really getting any protein in. HHEELLPPPP PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!

I had my VSG on 1/31. Went to the dr today and have lost 18lbs since surgery. I've lost 27lbs total. 9lbs from pre op. QUESTION... I was moved to full liquids today. So im able to eat mashed potatoes. I ate some but I never got that full feeling. I ate maybe 6 very small spoon fulls then I stopped. I just didn't want any more. Is it normal not to actually feel that "FULL" feeling??

I was sleeved 1/31 and haven't gotten over 30 oz. My nut reccommends 64oz but they at least want you to get 32oz. So im hoping it gets better day by day
