I lost 14 pounds after being weighed at my one week post op follow up appt. Got we weighed today, which is two weeks post op and down another 5. I refuse to be a scale watcher. I trust in the procedure. It's a certainty that I will lose weight if I stay the course. I feel like I have lost more inches than weight. Two weeks post op and I'm very happy with my progress. I feel much much better and am already wearing some old clothes.

Thanks bud. I can handle twice a day.

Thanks everyone! Are any of these once a day?

Does anyone have a suggestion for a multivitamin that is once a day? I got a list of different ones from my doc and none of them detail how often you take them. I really don't want to have to watch the clock all day and remember to take my vitamins. Thx!

I had my surgery a week ago last Wednesday. Had very little pain, but some fatigue. Went back to work the following Monday and all was good. I think it really depends on how YOU heal and feel following surgery. I had a friend that had the surgery last year and took off 3 weeks. So far though I feel better than I have felt in years...no kidding. I definitely felt better physically going back to work last Monday than I generally felt every day I went to work prior to surgery.

I did the 4 month condensed deal to get approved. 1. Met with PC once a month 2. Met with trainer once a month 3. Met with Dietician once a month 4. Met with Psychiatrist once a month These were all required by Aetna to hopefully get approved in 4 months rather than the 6 my plan normally requires. I did all of it and got a call from a nurse at Aetna telling me that they didn't have a weight history from 2 years ago. I had 8 years ago, 10, years ago, a few months ago and last year...all making a perfect case for me as far as weight is concerned. Thankfully, I believe this nurse listened to me, took it to her director, and consequently I was approved. Had surgery a week ago Wednesday and so far it's been awesome. Oh ya, you cannot gain any weight during this time or you will be denied.
