I had the surgery on 12/3 and I gave A Fib which I take medicine for. After Surgery on 2nd day in hospital I went into A Fib, due to the fact they were not giving me my medicine for it. They gave me something else. Once I got the right medicine it was back in sinus rhythm. Have not had problem since and Cardiologist in hospital said that was the cause.

I had surgery on 12/3. Had problems until yesterday when I started having diarrhea, and then again today. Called Dr office said no milk in protein shakes and take Imodium. Has anyone else had this problem? I have been drinking sugar free Gatorade and had some sugar free popsicles, tried protein with water but still gave diarrhea even with taking the Imodium.

I was sleeved on 12/3. I am gettin in protein and water, but it us a all day thing. I got protein that has 50 grams I mix with Almond milk.

I got my surgery date, Dec 3. I am excited and scared. I have never had surgery before. I only have a 3 day liquid diet before surgery, so that not as bad as I thought. I guess my last meal will be Thanksgiving.

I have former diet attempts with my PC and another Dr who did weight loss. I will talk to the Drs office Wednesday, with what I found out . Thanks

I am new here, but have read a lot of things on here. I am into 3 months of my 6 months that I was told Medicare required. Today I talked to Medicare on another subject, but brought up the 6 months. They told me they had no wait period. She read to me the requirements, and nothing about waiting period. Does anyone know where the 6 months came from or did I get bad info. I was told by my Dr Office bout 6 months. I have done Pysh test, Sleep, and had EDG.

Walden Farms makes creamers, different flavors. No calories, sugar, carbs.

I am in Sebastian also 1 scrabble, who is your Dr?

I had read on here that on a site you could get samples of Protein Shakes to try. Does anyone know the site?

Thanks????

Thanks for the answers. They told me 6 months, but once they got my records from the VA which is my PC I may not have to wait 6 months. Already had Psychiatry and Sleep test and 1st meeting with surgeon. Have another appt with Surgeon office Monday maybe get some more clarification.

Anyway else used Medicare to pay for surgery. I know it is 6 month weight? Any exceptions?

Melbourne, Fl?

I have already started with a doctor, I am a vet and so is my husband. We both have primary care does, so I am going to pass this info to my hubby. He was going to go his after I did. I have other insurance that is covering mine, but if known bout VA would have done a long time ago. Thanks for info.

how did You get VA to approve you?
