At the airport I go for a sandwich Usually they have somewhere with deli. Here at Newark they make huge sandwiches and I order one. Have them wrap the 2 haves separately First half I remove the break and eat the deli meats for lunch. I keep the other half for later on in the travel day. Many places at airport also have yogurts, some fruits and veggie packs In a pinch - like today- I went to starbucks and grabbed an egg salad sandwich and just removed 1 piece of the multigrain bread and ate the other half.

Medicare is a federal program and does not very from state to state Medicaid is a program run by individual states and the rules very widely from state to state

So far no major changes yet Still heavy 3 days then 2 days light

I travel for work at lest once a ml th. I have found that I tend to lose no weight on trips - not enough Water usually. But I don't gain so yay me You can do this. Just follow your doc and nutritionist rules and slowly but surely. The other thing when I am traveling is I rarely get out to see the sights ever. Just inside of offices and hotels. Well since June I've made a real point to get out for a walk. I usually walk every night. In Dallas 3 nights and 1 mile per night in plano Chattanooga 2 nights and walked from hotel, along river, and back to hotel each night. 3 miles round trip each night. Scranton next week. Let's see what o can come up with.

Hope everything went well in surgery.

I don't have sushi I LLLOOOVVVVEEEE sashimi. Just the fish no rice. I've had sushi since surgery (6/24/14) and I was full after two bites. Sashimi I can manage 5 pieces of tuna or so

I would call the psych and ask why they wrote that and what action steps you need to take. Play nice find another doc while playing nice and get another eval. Be saccharine during that eval. Submit.

The rules are a little different with revision See the policy attached page 3 for reoperation See if you qualify. The rules can be different https://cignaforhcp.cigna.com/public/content/pdf/coveragePolicies/medical/mm_0051_coveragepositioncriteria_bariatric_surgery.pdf

Here is Cigna policy for you https://cignaforhcp.cigna.com/public/content/pdf/coveragePolicies/medical/mm_0051_coveragepositioncriteria_bariatric_surgery.pdf

So there are many hospitals in the nation who self insure. And when they do this their employees are given extremely good rates for seeking all care at that hospital and its employee physicians. It's really unfortunate that they up and left and have no other options. However the situations sounds really fishy and perhaps you saved yourself a lot of heartache and complications in the long run

I was having major issues but this week it has been fine

Under weight loss surgery. The forum is called don't sweat the stall stuff

There used to be a stall forum

Yep the three week stall. Very common.

You should call and find out directly from uhc what the medical policy is for your employer. They sell policies that are self funded and every employer plan can be different

I do a half teaspn honey or some fresh blueberries

Just say thank you. Nice to see you. Move on

So the only "side effect" I have had fr my sleeve on 6/24 is what I believed to be constant acid. Am on omeprazole 40 mg twice daily. My surgeon doesn't think I have acid and it'll resolve itself eventually. Am starting to believe him. Some days it's great no issues. Other omg My symptoms are not heartburn or typical of acid. I feel burning in my throat so I googled all my symptoms and I came up with this http://www.m.webmd.com/heartburn-gerd/guide/laryngopharyngeal-reflux-silent-reflux Apparently silent reflux and may be caused by some regurgitation which I do experience if I eat too fast or too much Looking for advise from anyone, how do you make it better? What I've researched is that a ppi won't help this. I am going to schedule an appt with my GI this week but some sites state to go see an ent? Very confused. Help!

Great thank you!!!

Me too!!!

I developed asthma around age 30. Now 44. The sleeve has helped immensely ! Haven't used my 3 inhalers since surgery. I will tell you- and this sounds ridiculous - that my pulmonologist and PCP both feel that I had silent reflux and that exacerbated the asthma. Considering the acid is getting better as I am on ppi and have not used inhalers or nebulizer. Maybe they're right who knows. I would suggest you discuss with a pulmonologist asap to determine where your asthma is coming from Can be excercise and you always had it or could be the acid creating it in which case a ppi can help you resolve it.

Well according to this have already beat the 80% odds at 3 months out from sleeve Maybe I should go to Vegas. Good luck all

Ok so blunt is who I am You need to have a conversation with your significant other. You said yourself what is going wrong ---- carbs, sugar, drinking when you eat. She can do it and get away with it. Good for her. A supportive partner will see this is not working for you. Am guessing she prepares the meals. Perhaps you need to help out a little in the planning. If she wants to continue on her path you need to decide if that's the path you will follow or will you stick to your plan for your body and health. I am sorry if I was too harsh. I don't mean to be. But you said it all yourself. Join a support group if you are able. Leave her home during those sessions.

I don't think so. I think your surgeon has to submit an approximate date and they just call and update it
