I had apps. 3 oz turkey breast, a spoonful of mashed potatoes and another spoon full of dressing and one of peach cobbler/ice cream; stuffed to the gills Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I told everyone (work, family etc) and have gotten nothing but support from all Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I did the same thru Dr Frenzel in Dallas; as I recall EGD was $189 OOP, then $4000 for the sleeve; BCBS paid the rest of it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

10 mo out from VSG; down 120 lbs. Not had any problems other than low B-12. Just got told today that I have a urinary tract infection, was complaining about overall nausea and inability to Urinate more than a dribble, headaches and weakness/dizziness. Anyone else have any issues with these? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Make a big batch if bone broth and freeze it. It was a godsend following my sleeve Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I waited 6 months and had no problem- though in excess the hang overs are much worse than before. I guess the revised digestive system cannot process it as well or something

From their website and on the Jug also I believe: Directions: For adults, add one (1) scoop to 6-8 ounces or two (2) scoops to 14-16 ounces of your favorite beverage. Consume within 10 minutes after mixing. Take this product with an adequate daily Fluid intake. Super Advanced Whey Protein can be taken immediately following exercise or as needed throughout the day in order to meet your daily protein requirements. http://www.bodyfortress.com/chocolate-whey-protein-powder

cheese (sorry I don't do low fat cheese), jerkey (watch out some is high sugar/carbs), cold cuts like roast beef or lean ham. Wendy's chili, Arby's roast beef without the bread, grilled chicken sandwich without the bread, etc. etc. strawberries, peaches, apples but not to excess.

I think he did a wonderful job; I can eat just about anything with out any problem, I had a two day recovery and was able to go back to work immediately. I have lost 114 pounds since December 28. My insurance would only pay $4000 total for the bariatric surgery, so I went with the hiatal hernia discount. They only needed $1000 cash down and they let me pay monthly payments for the balance. They were very reasonable and easy to work with. Where are you at in Alabama? I lived in Phoenix city and Irondale for many years. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ditto poached or scrambled but not well done; softer goes down well, as does a fried over medium eg with the yolk broken but not cooked fully Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi I am also using Dr Frnzel but I am in Alabama. I should be submitted for surgery in October. It's seems like you were very pleased. Did you stay in hospital a couple of days? I'm nervous due to I will be out of town but they are making my appt's easy for psych and dietary. I'm having EGD study done here to check for hernia. I pray I'm approved for surgery. If you have a hiatal hernia what does it mean to have discounted surgery ? Dr F charges $4500 for the sleeve if done in conjunction with the Hiatal repair- which they bill to insurance. You might think about having him do the egd; he is very thorough and will find hernias others may miss. I traveled from north Arkansas to his Texarkana office for my initial consult, then Dallas for the EGD, had my Nut consult over the phone, did sleep study and EKG locally then back to Dallas for surgery. Was in Plano Surgical 1 day, surgery on Monday, released on Tuesday. We stayed at a Fairfield suites about five minutes away had planned on staying three or four days but ended up leaving on Thursday. I felt fine and I drove all the way home stopping every hour for 10 minute walks. http://www.mycompletetransformation.com/patient-resources/specials/ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Neither does the Body Fortress that I notice; I even used to mix up a gallon of it in the blender; adding some Greek yogurt etc and keep it in the fridge for a couple days; never noticed any adverse side effects. Plus leaving it sit allowed it to 'de-air'...I always hated the frothy blender shakes causing stomach gas when drinking fresh. Naturally before pouring one, I would shake it up to get the protein back into suspension.

Very hard to watch
