They will make you remove all jewlery... even if its no where near your surgery site... and they wont let you use a plastic retainer either... they are afraid it will come out in surgery and end up in your surgery site... They made me remove ALL piercings... even my clit piercing...

If you have to be cash pay now... they need to give you the cash pay price.... i havent heard of anyone paying more then 20,000 for surgery! I was self pay and i had a 1 night stay in the hospital and my total was $18,000.... 8,000 went to DR and 10,000 went to the hospital... they better work with you!!!

I had the same thing on like day 4 after surgery... i crushed an Imodium AD 2 days in a row and i was good after that... I havent had any issues since... and they were BAD those 2 days...

I think she is talking about the breads and rice...i was told no carbs....

Congrats!! You made me cry!! Good luck on your new life!! XOOXOX

I also was on a LOW calorie 7 day post op clear liquid diet... i was only allowed 59 calories a day... and i wasnt allowed unlimitied liquids... i had a diet to follow.... Only unlimited water... I also felt AWFUL!!!! I was sooooooooo weak!!! They let me move up to full liquids 1 day early... Im on my last day of FULL liquids... i have to say the FULL liquids were a little more filling... but i was still hungry all the time! Im hoping mushies are gonna be the thing that helps my hunger!!

I was EXACTLY 7 pnds more after surgery too!! LOL

Ya im pretty sure no other doctor will honor that... so your stuff with the DR! Why arent you happy with them?

The one i had today wasn't chocolate... it was a few different fruit flavors... It said PROTIEN accross the front so it caught my eye... yes they arent low in calories... and the bottle is 2 servings... with 20 grams of protein a serving... they fill me up tho... im still on a liquid diet for a few more days so i need the calories! But they sure do taste ALOT better then a protein shake!!

Is it ok to drink Naked Juice? They have a protein one... with 38 grams of protein??:confused2:

Mine is right under my largest incision....

My INS didnt cover it either... but i decided to get a loan and have it done anyways... it will be well worth it in the long run... Im a little over a week post op and glad i went through with the surgery...

I wish i would of known this! Maybe my milk would not of dried up... I am no longer breastfeeding cuz i have no milk :teeth_smile: Thanks for the advice... i really am not sure why they have me on such little calories... I start back to work tomorrow and im scared to go cuz i feel so awful and weak... i am a dental assistant and i have to work in peoples mouths... i dont wanna hurt anyone!

They had me on just low carb diet 1 week prior to my surgery... and i was fine for the surgery...

Im 6 days post op and i cant see where my port is... and its no where near my bra line... i hope it wont show once i lose weight ...

I wanted to get my WLS done on my maternity leave... they only required i was 6 week out... my c-section was healing nice and fast! I lost all the weight i gained with the baby (30pnds) I was 100 pnds over weight prior to pregnancy and thats why they were ok with doing the WLS... I am not doing well on such little calories... my milk supply dried up completely!! Which i didnt expect to happen.... I am worried about going back to work next week... i feel very weak and sooooo grouchy!!

My first week of clear liquids i was only allowed 59 Calories a day My 2nd week of Full liquids i am allowed 350 Calories a day

Las Vegas- Dr. Teng Dr. Teng & Anesthiologist - $7500 (1 yr of fills included) Hospital - $10,000 (That covers a 1 night stay, all meds given, etc.) Physc eval- $175 Nutritionist - $225 Plus i had blood work done an UGI and echo- all were billed to my INS

On my full liquid stage my DR gave me a diet plan and im only on 350 calories a day... My dr might be more strict tho cuz my liquid days i was not allowed unlimitied liquid either... i was on a 59 calories a day...

I have blackberry messanger but i dont see a pin messanger? Or a place to add you by PIN #?? Maybe my phone dont have it??

Good Luck!! Im 4 days out and feel great!!!! You will do great!!

You can still have it done... finance it!!

Ya my INS had an exclusion... i ended up fiancing it... i got a loan from BofA... its only $250 a month... so i think of it as a car payment... but forking out 18,000 hurt.... its gonna be so worth it in the end ... im only 4 days post op :eek:

Do a liquid diet... i lost 4 lbs in my first day on a liquid diet... it sucks... but works!!
