    Panic time

    After my paper work was submitted it was denied the first time,because insurance thought it was for weight loss.My Dr.did a Peer to Peer with insurance to make them understand it was due to acid reflux. Didn't take very long at all. Good luck at getting approved.

    Excessive Flatulence

    I don't know how far out your are from surgery,but it gets better as your body adjusts.Eating sugar and fats will make it worst.So stay clear,not on our diet plan anyway.
  14. I went to couple Disney parks when I was 2 1/2 months out.I was able to eat salad,grilled chicken,shrimp.I did take some protein shakes to make sure I got my protein in.At Hotel had scrambled eggs and brought some of my greek yogurt.Most hotels have yogurt high in sugar.Just make sure you drink all day or you will dehydrate quickly.I know we hate to buy water but dehydrating is a lot worst..Most hotel have fridge and Microwaves so I would get some food I could eat and keep in fridge.
