Hi ppl (Worries)
Shannon Mcmanus replied to xiomara8868's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had mine the same day, I am down 23-25lbs and have been at this weight for a week or so... Don't worry about the numbers, just do what you are suposed to do and let the #'s take care of themselves!!! (advice I need to take to heart) I was just at the dr and they said everything was fine, they are happy w where I am! -
When to finally celebrate?
Shannon Mcmanus replied to nervous&happy's topic in Insurance & Financing
not sure, but I did everything 1st, dr submitted to ins the Friday before surgery...surgery was a thurs we got aproval on Weds....but the Dr said from day 1 that ins would aprove it. I would assume the Dr is familiar with what ins aprove/not aprove! Congrats! shannon -
I had mine 9-26 and had only had 3, untill yesterday......then things got moving pretty well. not sure if the problem is fixed, but maybe now that I am eating more solids it will be. I think at 1st we don't put much in, so we don't get much out... I work in a hospital and one of the RN"s had rny almost 1yr ago, she said glicerin(sp) supositories are great and you can use as many as you need to (per her), so I am picking some up today in case things slow down again!

Is this possible?
Shannon Mcmanus replied to newme50's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'd have to say you are setting youreself up to fail! yu need to eat what you are suposed to eat, not what you CAN eat. just because you can do something does not mean you should, that's what got most of us in trouble in the first place! -
