  1. WALK.... WALK... WALK.... Did I say WALK again!!!! The gas has to be released, in order to do so you have to move around, trust me I know, everyone knows that they aren't a happy feeling. I would highly suggest Gas-X Strips, they work wonders, I'm only 1 month Post-Op and I faithfully keep them in my purse along with Zofran, have to stay prepared at all times.


  2. I had my tubes tied 2 years ago and since then my cycle was always on time, light and lasted 3 days tops, I was sleeved on 1/20 and I had gotten my cycle the morning of.... BAH GEEZ!!!! However, I tell you I've had post-op bleeding (heavy) since then, which just stopped about 2 days ago. WHAT A RELIEF.... I'm just waiting to see how next month turns out :-))


  3. @@zizi_tops I'm a Northern Girl myself, Connecticut to be exact!!! I was required to do a High Protein, Low Carb for two weeks then 2 or 3 days before surgery Clear liquid Diet... However, I'm probably do all Clear liquids starting Friday. I have my EGD scheduled on the 13th, so I figured since I can't eat or drink anything after midnight Thursday, what a better way to start off! When do you start your Pre-Op Diet?

  4. Rylove087... I did hear back from Insurance Company, my file was submitted on 11/17 and I was notified by my Patient Advocate on 12/1 that I was approved, I believe I was approved before that date. I'm scheduled for my sleeve on 1/20, probably would have been sooner but it was the holidays and that's actually the busiest time of the year, according to my doctors office. Where exactly are you located?

  5. Sounds Good!!! What type of Protein shakes did you get? I have Muscle Milk, in which I haven't tried yet, however I did try the Premier Protein brand and I enjoyed those... My pre-op diet consists of High Protein, low carb up until two-three days before surgery then I have to change up and do clear liquid... So my high protein diet should start tomorrow, in knowing that I kinda "BINGE ATE" for the past month or so, honestly I feel kinda sh*tty... I know better, but in my mind I had to get those last of the last meals in!!! So, starting Monday I have to really buckle down and train my mind to get on track because the 20th will be here before the blink of an eye!!! Any suggestions that you found helpful???
