Taking Heed with Hummus.
magtart replied to Elizabeth Anderson RD's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
I keep seeing this thread title as "Talking Heads with Hummus". I think I need to clean my glasses. -
My surgery was covered by BCBSTX. The policy was through my husband's employer so maybe the coverage was different.

Self-pay in Mexico might be more affordable. There is a section on this forum all about it. Good luck!

Good luck to you! I have no clinical support as I moved out of state not too long after my surgery. I guess I should be looking for local support. -

I'm not sure how to respond to this. Your penis is killing you? Try some Gas-X for the gas pain.

I should have mentioned it was 3oz. of chicken breast that got to me.

I'm planning on making Taco Soup for dinner.

Usually 2.5 is cool. I ate 3oz. the other night and was uncomfortably full.

Premier Protein ready to drink has 30g. per bottle. 2 of those and you're done. You can make Soups with double milk (milk mixed with milk powder) for extra protein. Make pudding the same way. Soft scrambled eggs, greek yogurt, tuna.

I just bought one today to use later in the week. I served myself 1 oz. of the cooked Pasta and couldn't finish it after eating the chicken.

Chicken Parmesan (unbreaded) with linguine (for Son) and green beans.

At one week out I would be staying home.

I look forward to my gummies everyday, it's like a treat. I have to avoid Vitamins with Iron as I have a condition that makes my body retain too much iron.

Houston Area Surgeons Experience & Time Frame
magtart replied to iwant2becurvynotlumpy's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I used Dr. Ricardo Bonnor @ Texas Endosurgery Assoc. I had to get an EGD, one visit with a NUT, and a psych eval. 2 week pre-op diet. Surgery was at Memorial Hermann-Memorial City. My insurance was BCBS of TX. -
Fantastic job on the weight loss!

I never had any nausea. My doc didn't prescribe any meds for it either.

When I met my husband he lived in Houston and I lived in Little Rock. On holiday weekends one of us would fly in to see the other. 5 years later I moved to Houston. 6 years later we are now both in Little Rock. It can work!
