October 2013 Surgery Dates
hottamale replied to DevilBlueDress's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hottamale 10/29/13 RNY -
Protein Requirements? Is there a certain protein that I should be looking for besides the ratio of more protein to sugars??? I have not gotten anything from my surgeon as a guide yet? Is their something we can't digest?

Rnytalk has a clothes forum. Check it out and see if its something you might want to do....

Wow, this really hits home for me. When I had my lap band I told only a select few at work. My son had the sleeve shortly after my band. He told everyone. He was a success story 325 to 180. Me, I felt guilty because I only lost about 25lbs and struggled the whole 4 years I had that thing. Now its gonna be different. I'm gonna tell the world and not hide it and if people don't like it they don't have to be around me.....I do wish you success and you are going to have to be comfortable in YOUR decision! Live your life with no regrets!!!

hottamale replied to pumpkin73's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Pumpkin 73, Just remember all the hard aches you have gone thru with your lap band. Things are going to be so much better with your RNY! I am right behind you with a rny date 10/29/13!!! Lap band out 7/30/13! -
I want some junk food!
hottamale replied to califmomto4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, this site is amazing! I had just googled Beanitos and found where they are sold in my town. On my shopping list today....I'm sure I will like them. When I had my lap band I really missed the crunch you get with a lot of "Junk Food". Beanitos even have protein, and no corn. This was a great find. -
Fed up with surgeons office!
hottamale replied to kkelly37's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hope you got to cook lots of good yummy things with your "Defrost"! On the other hand, I could be a really bad itch to the one that comments in the office and its not professional!!!! I feel that they have a job, just do it and don't moan about it! Keep us updated! -
Any other Military Wives out there? Tricare South?
hottamale replied to LacedUp's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tricare South-Prime, I see a civilian Dr because the nearest hospital of excellence is 3 hours away! I had my lapband out about 7weeks ago and I was required to submit proof of exercise (gym membership), documented weight from beginning of band to post band removal, psych eval and approved! No pre-op diet ordered! I consider that to be pretty darn lucky! I will schedule surgery 10/21 -

Any October surgeries out there...
hottamale replied to debbiedenise's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
kkelly37, you are so funny! I could hang with you! When I told my boss about my plans for surgery, she just told me I should do a diet and exercise program instead of having surgery. I really understand your feelings about being around other people and don't feel like you are worthy because of your weight! Its gonna change with this fat, are you pregnant, just diet and exercise GIRL! -
Well I got approved! Boss at work wants me to hold off because too many people are out.......aaaarrrggghhh!!!! More time to increase anxiety.

Hey bundle of nerves, you got this! Words of affirmation that this is for you! God Bless to you and your babies. -
FayeJ, my first surgery lapband was with a military institute. It was all good. I did not do well on the band. I had a lot of port pain, n/v always feeling hungry but couldn't eat. My port had flipped and drs could not access it to take fluid out. So, since my band placement my husband has retired and now I had my band taken out Tricare prime and scheduled for RNY Oct 3 with Tricare prime civilan dr that took band out. The military was good they had support groups and was always there for questions. Good Luck!

Approved! and up set the people have the balls to tell me why don't you just diet and exercise!!!OMG! I want to ask them where are you at 0530 when I'm at the gym???? Where are you when you when I am eating correct portions? Alot of people do not realize that portions that are served are x3 the quanity you need!!! Just real sad some people are jealous and don't understand obesity.

I was told that I wouldn't need anything for my insurance for approval. Well....2 days later I needed a psych eval. I got that done in 4 days! I'm on this!! Resubmit to insurance, I should hear something soon. My surgery is scheduled Oct 3! I feel like everything is moving really good! Kinda scary!

hottamale replied to kkelly37's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
kkelly, take matters in your own hands!!! Go to the office like previously stated by TurnThePage. Walk your paper thru the process and don't take no for the answer. Please take a stand. That is a complete waste to pay for insurance office to file crap! You can do this!!! Just go in first thing when they open! be the first one in the office!!! Let them know how distasteful it is to not return phone calls. Be sure and tell them you will give a negative review. Let us know how things turn out. -
Any October surgeries out there...
hottamale replied to debbiedenise's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
WOW, I'm scheduled for October 3. My doc is not requiring me to do 10 day liquid diet!!! Stoked! He said I was on the fence with my BMI and I could do the surgery or not.......I am post lapband removal and have done so much research on all surgeries.... I just blurted out SCHEDULE ME :} My husband laughed at me and said that I did not even ponder on making the decision. I told him I was tired of not seeing results of our workout and eating right....I wanted payoff!! No more people thinking I'm pregnant. I carry a lot of my weight in the middle..No more obesity, cause my whole family line is obese. I don't want that. He is so proud. That makes me feel good. -
MOMMYTONYA, You look amazing! I consider your story to be a success. Lots of hard work and emotions. Way to go Girl.

Post op lap band removal appt. Everything went well!!! Scheduled Rny for October 3. Waiting for insurance and no requirement for liquid diet or anything!!!! WOW

I have been called pregnant for the LAST time! II told them NO, I'm not expecting I'm just a fat cow!!!! I really wanted to CRY!!! I get up and workout before work, watch what I eat and still, still, look like a fat cow! My post op removal of my lapband is Thursday. Couldn't be soon enough!

Last minute switch from Sleeve to Bypass!
hottamale replied to BroJoe's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tscription, I really hope you do all research on the lapband. I'm really not one to say don't because that would make me want to even more, but really consider going on the forum band to Rny. Really listen {read} what these people are saying..... -
I feel like I'm falling apart.....
hottamale replied to vicki s's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Vicki s, Niacin made me feel really jittery. I talked with one of the docs I work with and he did say that niacin could make me feel that way and suggested taking that at night so I could sleep thru it. I think it has helped me.
