  2. I was having the same problem and my doctor put me on prilosec and it has really helped. I only have thrown up twice in the past 3 months that I've been on it.
  3. I was type 2 before surgery went to the doctor last week and my non-fasting sugar was 83 my doctor now says I'm hypoglycemic and need to get my sugar up some. I've been off meds since the day of surgery. I was taking metformin and glipizide.

  8. So went for my 2week post op appointment yesterday I have lost 23 lbs my doctors goal for me for the month was 23 lbs. The whole office was excited. I'm just thankful to lose anything and to be off all my diabetes meds. Finally on to the next stage.

  10. We were told that caffeine makes you hungry and that drinking carbonated drinks cause discomfort. I use to drink soda daily since my sleeve on Friday I haven't craved it yet and I mean everything I use to drink had caffeine in it.
  11. So 5 days post op today no pain just still trying to get water in having no issues with protein shakes, having sugar free popsicles and yogurt with no problems but I was never a big water drinker so its hard to even get 16 oz down I think I will never meet my 48 oz daily goal.

  20. My pshyc eval was horrible the lady was overweight herself but kept saying why dont you hust diet and exercise. I wanted to say why don't you. She was very rude abd if I could just diet abd exercise I wouldn't be obese in the first place, its just not always that easy. Then my surgeons office tried to reach her for 2 minths because her evaluation wasn't clear to if she had approved me. I had to call her office manager to even get her to call my surgeons office back.
  21. I love your tree topper I've saw one that did a white tree and the snowman head topper, a scarf and black ball ornaments for buttons very cute
  22. I have my date but I don't get my time until my preop appointment on 12/30 I also have my education class that day and they'll tell me about aftercare only have a liquid diet the night before no preop diet.
  23. I'm finally scheduled for January 3rd after almost a year started my journey on 1/14/2013. After a denial on 11/18/13 had to file an appeal and finally approved and svheduled yesterday. Having it with Dr. Anthony Terracina at Mary Immaculate Hospital in Newport News Virginia. Very excited and so ready for a healthier me for the new year, my best friend was just sleeved Wednesday ready to join her on this journey even though we are 7 hours apart. Good luck to everyone on this new journey in life.
  24. So I know I haven't updated in a while but I just got the call yesterday and I got approved finally the surgeons office had to get fiestey with my insurance company they said BCBS use to be the easiest to get approved but now they are one of the worst. But I got my date 1/3/2014 at least I get to start the new year off right was suppose to have gone on a mini vavcation with my husband and best friends but that will have to wait this is so much more important for my life.
  25. I was told by my pulmonary specialist that it is recommended for use before and after the surgery he said even people with mild sleep apnea such as mine can have difficulty breathing after surgery and use of your CPAP before and after lowers the risk of problems.
