  1. Has anybody received information about this yet?
  2. Dizziness is also caused by low blood pressure. You should call your doctor.
  3. I told my friends in my building, my mom/dad, one uncle. I was originally going for the sleeve, but found out a couple weeks ago my insurance won't pay for it. I told may sister and brother that I was having the sleeve, when I thought I was, I will fess up after surgery because my sister does not want me to have the bypass. But it's my decision, and I am not changing my mind.
  4. What is an oblation?
  5. I'm in the midst of a 2 week pre-op liquid diet. My dos is 12/4 and I have been dreaming of food. This pizza looks soooooo good!
  6. The best way to drink it is with a straw and drink it fast. I had to drink two bottles of that for a colonoscopy this past summer.
  7. My nut said the only way to have a soda after surgery is to pour it into a glass, stir until there are no more bubbles, then leave it alone overnight. Too much hassle in my mind. I have only had Soda in the last 6 months, I don't miss it like I thought I would.
  8. At your local drugstore, or maybe Walmart. Probably just about at any store.
  9. I would love to do this. My surgery date is December 4th. My email is charrison27@yahoo.com
  10. Cool Whip Lite has just 1 gram of fat and 3 grams of carbs per 2 tablespoon serving.
  11. You've never seen Cool Whip in your grocery store's freezer? Where do you live, bakawaka? If I come off as rude, I apologize, but I thought everybody knew about Cool Whip.
  12. I have to do a 2 week liquid diet. My surgery is 12/4, originally was 12/3, so I will be starting my pre-op diet on Monday. I know I don't have to start until Tuesday, but I figured one extra day shouldn't hurt.
  13. I received my approval letter from my insurance today!
  14. I have seen that a lot of band patients eventually switch to either the sleeve or the bypass. I really did not want my intestines rerouted, so needless to say, I am disappointed that I can't have the sleeve.
  15. My surgery was originally supposed to be the sleeve, but my insurance won't pay for it.
  16. December 4th, Dr. Asad, Erie, PA
