Hello, I had my surgery July 30, and I lost 26 lbs I've lost some inches too. Since I started loosing weight and inches my body has been itching like crazy, I've been putting lotion, & baby oil it doesn't help. So my question is has anyone had, or is having the same problem if so can you let me know what you did to stop the itching. Thank you take care. My New Journey 2013

Hello, You can try the salt Water flush. Google it or YouTube it. I've done it and it works. It helped me go. I still do the flush, but now that I got the surgery, I need to ask my doctor to see if it's ok to still do once in awhile when I really want to cleanse my colon, or use the bathroom. I got the salt water flush idea from the master cleanse diet. Here are some sites if you want to check it out. http://www.yogitrition.com/salt-water-flush-for-colon-cleansing/ http://rawfoodswitch.com/detox/perform-salt-water-flush-cleanse-colon/ My New Journey 2013

We finally made it through our 1st week!!!! everyone. Congratz!!! How is everyone doing? Did anyone loose any weight? I'm feeling good no pain, or nausea. I can drink water good but having a hard time with protein and soup. I don't like it and I'm not hungry. I lost 8 lbs. I'm happy with that. I hope everyone is doing well. Take care My New Journey 2013

Ok. Really 6 days. Where you ready to go back? That's good to feel back to normal in such a short amout of time. Does the doctor put a belly wrap over your stomach after surgery? My New Journey 2013. SD 7-30-13

Hello, How are you doing? How is your recovery? My New Journey 2013. SD 7-30-13

Hello, I have atena and I had to do a 3 months of weight management, & 3 months nutrition , get a EGD to check to see if I had a hernia, psych evaluation, sleep study. After all those appointments I found out I have sleep apnea and now I sleep with a cpap machine, I also have a hail hernia. The paper work was submitted but atena needed more information. Aetna wanted a 2 year documented weight history to show proof I was over weight. One the doctors office submitted what aetna was asking for I got approved. This is what I went through. Don't give up or get discouraged you may not have to go through what I did. Best of luck in everything. Take care. PS. You can always call your insurance yourself to check and see what the requirements are for wls. My New Journey 2013. SD 7-30-13
