Had surgery on May 20, down 24 lbs, feeling great. Does anyone else burp all the time?

Was banded on the 20th, doing great, no nausea, my Dr does a 23 hr stay in hospital after surgery, gave nausea meds around the clock, that was great. This is day five an down about 13 lbs. I had very little pain other than in my left shoulder found that if I raised by arm over my head that it helped to releive the pain. Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend.:biggrin2:

Banded on the 20th, doing great no nausea, only pain is in my left shoulder and neck. Stayed over night in hospital, they gave nausea meds around the clock, for prevention, I felt it was worth it no to be nauseated. Very little pain and down over 10 lbs.:biggrin:. Made veg/beef soup yesterday, tired on canned soup it was great.

I got approved and have surgery on May 20. You all are great inspiration. Keep up the great work.

I start my new way of life on May 20. I can hardly wait.

I finally got approved, I get my band on May 20. I can hardly wait. Seems like it has taken for ever to get approval.

Hello everyone! I live in Magnolia, KY, it is about 45 min from Elizabethtown. I am hoping to be banded next month. I am in the process of getting all my pre-op visits done (psy, pt, nutritionist). I am having my band done by Dr. Kaza in E-town. I am married, have 1 sone, 6 cats and a dog.

Looking at surgery in April (woo who), Have PT and psy consult and see nutritionist all this month. and have to lose 10 more lbs by the end of March. Slow but sure.

Went for my second visit on Thursday, good news looking at surgery in April, have pt visit and psy consult and to see nutrusionist all this month and to lose 10 more lbs. April will be here before you know it. Carla

Hoping for surgery in April maybe sooner. I have to do a 3 month supervised diet per dr's office. (ins waived it) Waiting is so hard to do. You all are doing so good.

Haven't posted here in a while. I am hoping to possible get get the dr's office to change there mind about me having to do a 3 month supervised diet. My insurance will waive it, but not dr's office. I have lost some since starting another diet. I lose but hard to keep it off. I go on the 28th. Hope everyone has a great week.

Talked to Surgeon's office today, They are still requiring me to do a for 3 months even though my insurance would probably waive it. So frustrating:angry:. They want to know you are comitted to doing this. I wounldn't be going to all this trouble if I wasnt committed.

I went for my first appointment on Thursday, I was told I would have to be on a supervised diet and weigh in every 2 weeks. I was okay with that. But I called my case manager at my ins co and she told me that if I can provide her with documents from weight watchers, and curves nad physical therapy, that they may waive the 3 months of dieting. so I will be on the phone getting all that info. After she said I could possible be approved before the end of the month. So keep your fingers crossed that everything goes well. Carla

Well I went for my first appointment. They told me I would have to be on a diet for 3-6 months and to come in a weigh every 2 weeks, but then I talked to my case manger at my insurance company and if I can get her documentation from when I went to ww and curves and a report from the physical therapist (major problems with my rt foot and ankle). Get my psy eval and nutristionist eval. I could possibly be approved before the end of the month. She said after she gets the paper work it only takes about 2 days to be approved. so keep your fingers crossed. I am a Title Abstractor for real estate. I go to about 10 different counties. I do a lot of driving.

I do live in Green Co. and have a Magnolia address. I do alot of work in Larue Co.. So looking forward to my appointment next week. My BMI is 56 Carla

I love reading this site. I am new to everything. I have my first appointment with the surgeons office on the 31st. I am so excited. The case manager with my insurance co has been very helpful. I am hoping that, that is a good sign of an approval. I need all that prayers and good thoughts I can get. Carla

I live in the Mt Sherman/Magnolia area. I am going to Dr. Kaza my first appointment is in the 31st. I am so excited, I know this is a long process, but that is well worth it.
