@@Pac-woman I went into Lane Bryant the other day and it really hurts my feelings that the cost of the clothes in there are so expensive! I mean $89 for one dress!!!! I did purchase some night gowns to be stylish after I have surgery! I bought three night gowns and the total was $67! Will be so happy when I can get a cute little shirt and skirt for $15 like my girlfriends do so often! I, like you have to dress professionally to work and I do shop at Dress Barn, but they are expensive as well! The non-plus size side has clearance prices that are wonderful! Can't wait to get over there!

Dreams STOMPED by my insurance company
VGB replied to mami2two's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, my insurance does not cover WLS so that was out......but it does cover hiatal hernia repair surgery! So, my doctor is getting me in for a hiatal hernia and while he is in there, he will sleeve me! I have to pay $3500 for the sleeve! You may want to check into that as an option! My surgeon is in Dallas! -

It sounds like you are really high! I am so happy for you! -
I called my doctor to see if I could have potato soup as apart of my liquid diet? They said NO! It's a cream. Then, I asked what about egg drop soup? They, again said NO! Um, what in the devil can I eat? Broth and all the sugar-free popsicles and jello you can handle! Oh, well! Broth, popsicles, and jello it is.....but not until the 26th! Lol!

Can you have them after surgery? I will be going back to work after a week off and I train people so I don't want my breath to knock her out!

How did you all get your hair done for the surgery? I was gonna just slick it into a ponytail but I want to look cute when people visit me! -
I'm February 9th, also! 4 weeks and counting!

Did any of your physicians offer Phenergan after surgery! I know it worked wonders for me after my hysterectomy! I always get so nauseous when taking pain meds!

Tomorrow is the big day!
VGB replied to JerseyJules's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OMG! I feel the exact same way as you! The only difference is when friends had the surgery I was a tad but jealous! Wishing it was me that was beginning the journey! On February 9th it will be me! -
Well, let me inbox you my address! Lol!

That's what we want right? To go to sleep! I will ask for liquid Phenergan!

Did it work?

Whoop whoop! I will be sleeved February 9th in Dallas!

Side sleepers/body pillow
VGB replied to Lindsey Skinner Abbott's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have my surgery in February also. I hope this helps I had a hysterectomy and used a body pillow when I got home from the hospital because I am a side sleeper, too! I am going to use the body pillow after this surgery! Good luck! #february9th -
It seems like when a bill is due in 30 days it is here in a blink, but when waiting 30 days for surgery it is taking two months! My granddad don't rush life but could February please hurry and get here, please!

Can you chew gum after surgery?

Oh No!! Not horse breath! I am gonna be a toothbrush/toothpaste carrying Diva!

Sorry it was you, but glad you let me know before I had my surgery and began to chew gum! I guess I will be bringing toothbrush and toothpaste to work!

I saw a clip of myself on a video at church and could not believe that HUGE lady was me!!!! I cried all day and really need to have surgery immediately!!! I can NOT believe I let it get this out of hand! When I look into the mirror I don't look that large! ????
