I am glad you are being successful at weight loss. I do have to agree with the above posters, 64 is not going to give you Water poisoning.

I guess you can rationalize your decision to be noncompliant anyway you want. Sleeve or no sleeve 64 oz of Fluid a day is recommended to keep you body healthy. It moisturizes your skin, helps your kidneys flush away waste, helps your GI system digest and excrete ( lessens your chance for constipation), helps keep your mucous membranes moist....on and on and on. Good luck.

I'm going to have to agree with the posters above. The more I drink, the more I lose. That was true with WWs, that was true with South Beach, that is true with VSG. My body likes the fluids, unfortunately, my new sleeve doesn't. It's really hot where I live, I exercise every day and I need the fluids but I can't get them in yet.
If you are thirsty, that is your body telling you that you are already dehydrated. Personally, I like to stay ahead of the game. Being hydrated also means better skin elasticity, and that's something I really need.
Water poisoning is unlikely to occur in most adults unless they are consuming about 2 gallons an hour. I can't even get one gallon in in a day!
If less fluids work for you, that's great! I wish I was in your shoes, but I need the fluids and it's a constant struggle for me. UGH!

Good Luck to all the Sister and Brothers on their way to becoming Sleeved!

I got a letter in the mail saying that fepblue no longer requires prior approval for vsg in patient procedures (after the office submitted for approval!). This is not what I have heard from others! When I went back and read the handbook it doesn't exactly say you need preauthorization, only that you need to meet the BMI, Psych Eval, three month nutritional requirements to be covered. It does, however, say that for any inpatient procedure you need precertification. Isn't this just notifying them of the procedure before you go in? Has anyone else had this experience? I don't know whether to rejoice or cry (if there is something else that needs to be done)! Calling the surgeon's office first thing tomorrow!!!

You should be fine if it was over a month ago.
My surgeon never tested me though, i didnt know they even did that.
Just quit, its awesome.
