Can some of you tell me how much the total bill was on your surgery. I want to hear feed back from you all not a doctors office.
painter88 replied to Animal Lover's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
In NY my insurance bill was $2700 to surgeon and $16K to hospital. My OOP expense was $150 deductible. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app -
Surgery postponed due to Thyroid levels being off
painter88 replied to sprysmeow's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Must be painful for you. My level was 7.5 and I had surgery. I never took synthroid, I have a feeling it will get better once I lose all my weight. I'm now 5.5 months Post op, I'll do my blood work at 6 months. I'm sure it'll be gone by then. I did a major diet 3 years ago and it dropped to 3.9, so for me it's weight, and taking synthroid is what's telling the thyroid gland to hibernate due to the synthroid taking care... 36 Male HW:308 SW:302 CW:223 Sleeved 01/30/2017 -
Breads Post Surgery
painter88 replied to danweis23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ate bread about 4 weeks post op, but I am not doing well with bread, it just stuffs me up and I need to vomit it out. Crackers works best for me. Nothing soft. 36 Male HW:308 SW:302 CW:225 Sleeved 01/30/2017 -

Wife was sleeved yesterday
painter88 replied to Walter.Sobchak's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had the same thing. I wasn't prepared for so much pain, but it gets better within 2 weeks and back to normal by 6 weeks. Seeing results is what gives you the boost needed. 36yo Male HW:308 SW:302 CW:228 Sleeved 01/30/2017 -

I learned long ago to rather drink before eating. It avoids making an aquarium in your stomach because drinking slides through if no food is there yet. Now after the sleeve, I can't drink right after eating, feels very not right to me. 36yo Male HW:308 SW:302 CW:228 Sleeved 01/30/2017

Best is peppermint. I took Dr. Schulze's anti nasuea liquid. It's great due to it being real stuff inside. I think peppermint and ginger. Miracle. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm a big traveler, and my highest point was 308. I'm now 234 less than 4 months PoP. I find that traveling is definitely easier, I snore no more...I lately before my surgery never needed the seat belt extender because they do make seat belts bigger these days... :-) You'll love it, go for itm Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app
