Yea, maybe I'll do the same cause pureed chicken seems pretty funky to me. Lol

During the mushy food stage, the thought or pureeing it myself kinda grosses me out. Idk why.....but what about little jars of baby food? Does anyone like that better? Is there one that tastes better than the other?? Any recommendations?

Ummmm..tequila. I love tequila.

Beachgurl...I'm not sure but I haven't heard of that. I Dont know why so many different docs say soooo many different things

This is great. My husband is gonna love that I'm a cheap date! Lol

Lol. Good. I never get tipsy. I'm assuming cause I was heavy. How much can u drink before getting tipsy?

My doc said to wait til little over a month after surgery to enjoy an alcoholic beverage. And I'm getting the sleeve done. Now, I'm not a big drinker but do enjoy the occasional beverage. But any recommendations on non carbonated/low sugar cocktails? Besides an alcohol and water! Lol

4000 for a belly button fix?!?!? :/ goodness, that's even pricey.

Hi ladies, I haven't had the surgery done yet, i go next week. but I keep getting concerned with how the loose skin is gonna look btwn the stomach,the girls and other lady parts. Have any of you had any sort of plastic surgery procedures? And do tell what you had done (if ya Dont mind sharing) and the average cost for that procedure.

Lol... Ohhhh good!!!!

Right after surgery... Is the pain like incision pain or deep inside abdominal pain? And anyone who has gotten gallbladder removed WAY BEFORE the WLS surgery.. Is the pain similar to that??

Thanks kmill. I've read a couple of stories that ppl didn't have to take RA meds anymore. I really really hope that's my case too!!

I'll probably trigger the fibro for you temporarily, but in the long run it may totally help with less weight. I'm fully aware that I may go into a RA flare because I have to come off my RA meds, but if weighing less in the future will put less stress on my joints, then I'll take the flare. Good luck

Hello all... I know this is a super old post, but any updates on how you all are doing with an autoimmune disease and being sleeved??

Go ahead and ask. I even asked my surgeons if they have any history of substance abuse. It is YOUR life, by no means should you feel like you're offending someone.

Thanks Selena, do you take it for RA? I just spoke to my PA at the Bariatric center...and she said that when we get closer to the date, they'll adjust it to not taking it for 3days before rather than the normal 7 days. And I can start taking 3 days after, but with a nexium or something.

has anybody taken celebrex right before and after the surgery? I have to come off of Enbrel for my RA but my Rheumatologist said celebrex should be ok, I'm guessing that he's not thinking of ulcers. I'm confirming that with the surgeon but just wanted to know if anybody else has taken it during the process.

Everything I read makes my stomach turn. This person experienced the dumping syndrome with the sleeve?!?

Hello. I'm from NJ also. My surgery date is Jan 21st, how are you both feeling?

Ohhh ok. . I didn't know that. Thanks

The NJ Bariatric center always has two of their doctors in the room doing the surgery. It kinda puts my mind as ease a little knowing there's more than one doc in there.(four eyes are better than two, I guess...lol ) Anyone else get two docs in the room?

You're right Lkeys. . Its Sooo close, yet Sooo far!!

Jan 21st here. Anyone in jersey with same date??

Will do. Thanks

Hello, just emailed my patient navigator at my Dr.s office and she's submitting my request today to Aetna. She said 7-10 business days, maybe sooner. . Wish me luck!!!! Im praying that I'm approved!!!

I see. . Thanks
