My surgery was June 4, I am down 38pound. I just started to take prozac. I am worried that I am not going to lose weight because anti depressants make you gain. Does anyone take anti depressants and notice weight loss stalled?

20 pounds is great! It is not even a month. I am losing much slower. I am 3 months out andI lost 34 pounds. It also depends on your starting weight.

My doctor sad, I can take them occasionally if really needed. He would prefer Tylenol.

Does any heartburn medicine work better than others? I tried target brand and did not feel any better. Do I really need to take it every morning for the rest of my life?

I was sleeved on June 4, lately I have been experiencing a burning sensation throughout the day, even when I haven't even eaten anything. i sometimes have a small cup of coffee, could that be the issue?

All I can say, "Is get a life," You seem like a very unhappy and critical person. The replies you are getting are a result of what you are looking for. Good luck!

Does the sleeve stretch? If I drink and eat at the same time, will I not lose the same amount of weight?

I was sleeved on June 4, and I am hearing various reasons why we shouldn't eat and drink at the same time. Does anyone know the real reason why we shouldn't? Does it stretch the sleeve?

@@VSGAnn2014 You made me feel a lot better, people keep on asking how much did you lose? I am kind of at a stand still. People ask what makes you think you are going to lose anymore.. It drives me crazy because I haven't lost anymore since I last seen them. I started out at 212 pounds, I am at 189 since june 4. No pre-op diet.

My surgery was June 4, as of today I lost 20 pounds. It seems very slow, considering the small amount of food I am eating.

Thank you for all the support. I feel the same. I thought at least 20 pounds. I am hardly eating. Hopefully, I will see a change soon

My surgery was June 4 , I only lost 15 pounds so far. I am also upset, I feel I am Hardly eating it should come off quicker. Anybody with th same results? I just started mushy foods, yougurt has 17 carbs, I am wondering if I should even eat it.

16 LONG days for approval!

Congratulations!\ Do you submit all of the data, or did your physician? If you submitted the documentation, were there specific forms? The doctor submitted everything

!6 days to get an approval. They kept saying they didn't have everything as of the 14th day, I believe they were just back logged and was pressured for time.

Finally after 16 days and many phone calls, I was approved for my june 4 surgery.

congratulations! I am still waiting, I hope I get good news. I have called Aetna twice a day. May 27 will be the 15th day deadline.

My paperwork was submitted 5/12 to Aetna. I am still waiting, I was told it was still pending. My tentative surgery date is June 4. I am going crazy waiting.

Hi! I am new to the group. I just submitted my insurance forms to aetna. I am hoping to get approved. My BMI is 36 and I have sleep apnea. I struggled with my weight since I was 16. Now at 42, I am tired of dieting and not losing. I called insurance today and it still is pending. Did anyone get approved with a borderline BMI and sleep apnea?
