Bariatric Pal Colors Are Dull And Boring
I agree. It is bumming me out a bit. Maybe they will brighten up the color scheme?

Anyone do great with the band and not the sleeve ?
Commonly available OTC PPIs include Prilosec, Prevacid, /or if you get a generic/store brand it might say Omeprazole.

Denied by Cigna
Can't you transfer your stuff to another facility? You should be able to change without having to re-do everything I would think. Is there a qualifying facility near you that you can switch to? Good luck and I'm sorry this happened to you.

My only fear beyond surgical complications....
As a previous poster said, unless you actually live or spend time in very remote areas, we can probably safely say this is an irrational fear. I suffer from these types of fears sometimes so there is no judgment! The best thing to do if the thought of this is really frightening you, is to engage in a conversation with yourself about it -- say to yourself things like, "I am perfectly safe. I live in a place/country where food and Water are very easily accessable at all times." etc.. Also, if it helps you feel less anxious about it, go ahead and stock some supplies for your home, just in case. Extra cases of water, canned goods etc.. Couldn't hurt. Hope this helps a little.

Best Sports Bras for Running?
The Frog Bra by Title Nine was hands-down the most supportive sports bra for running with large bust EVER MADE. Wearing it you could jump up and down and literally nothing would move, it was so amazing. Apparently it's currently out of production, but they have some suggestions for alternatives to the frog bra here on their website: http://www.titlenine.com/category/frog+bra.do

Pretty sure I f***ed up the sleeve. No leak, but I might as well have never gotten it.
You just cut it in half and look to see if the middle looks pink. If there is no pink, it is done. Easy as can be.

Have you tried shellfish (shrimp, lobster etc) or chicken? More dense than eggs for sure. I have read about something called mushy foods syndrome. Sounds like you are eating too much mushys and not enough dense. ETA: Get a george forman grill. You can make just about anything on it and it requires almost zero cooking skill.

Clothing from the 80's, too funny
I am still holding a lot of stuff from the 90s (in sizes 2-6, talk about optimism) so I know what you mean. Would love to see a pic of you in those suits!! If you want to share

Chest pains
Whoops. Posted at the same time.

Chest pains
I would think at the very least you are dehydrated if you haven't consumed anything at all for 2 days. Not sure about the chest pains but my suggestion is to visit the ER. I think it's better safe than sorry and they can give you IV fluids while you are there.

Vitamin Suggestions
There are many gummy Multivitamins for adults on the market now, available pretty much anywhere. I have gotten them at grocery stores and Target. I would think any of them would be better than nothing while you wait for your bariatric gummies.

Has anyone purchased the Big Book on Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?
I just read another book that is really good for nutrition and motivation, it's called "Ultimate Gastric Sleeve Success" -- which I mainly ordered based on the title. Also written by a doc/surgeon, Dr. "V". Recommended.

Just an observation- Governer Christie
I think I read somewhere that recovery time was a big factor for his choice.
