  1. Psych appts vary but nothing to worry about.
  2. You are young - any children in your future? Because the bypass will take a toll on your body nutrient wise, especially during pregnancy. And that unused stomach can get reflux and ulcers - how is that to be treated, can't get medicine to it orally. My nurse at my PCP - now has this 7yrs out from bypass plus B12 deficiency.
  3. @Killian, so now we are sleeve buddies...lol Do you have to do pre-op over? I start tomorrow shakes, sfjello, broth here I come...... (oh, go eat your jello...lol..family saying around here when someone is being a pill)
  4. Keep your chin up and this too shall pass.
  5. Good luck. Friday the 13th has been lucky for me - I was married on a 13 Friday over 20 years ago...
  6. Good luck. Use the time to examine the role of food in your life, develop some hobbies, get a fitbit and start walking if you can. It goes faster than you think.
  7. Don't you have a NUT and a surgical team to give you guidelines?
  8. This is horrendous. I am so sorry you have had these complications. Some care in Mexico needs to be greatly improved and in my opinion they release patients too soon from any care. I have read where patients get released the same day and fly home the next. How can that be good medical care? My physician doesn't allow anything by mouth for 24 hours and after the fluoroscopic swallow test. And you might even stay an additional night.
  9. We are not physicians. How do you know you have a blockage in your throat? Who told you this?
  10. Try refried black beans add a little spice.
  11. List a typical day of food and water. I am sure you are anxious, aren't we all. I can only give you encouragement, hang in there.
  12. Try warm ginger tea before the shakes. I too get nauseous from surgery pain meds from two non-wls surgeries. (My wls is in 12 days, crossing fingers they give me a patch)
  13. I too would raise h#ll, I would call and call and call both the surgeon and the gastroenterologist. Good luck.
  14. Good luck. You will need extra nutrition and follow all the dr's advice to the letter. What birth control were you using? Just curious.
  15. Nonexistent on android phones.
  16. So glad you are recovered, I imagine that to be scary. You look fabulous and probably feel even better. Congrats!
  17. https://my.cigna.com/web/public/guest Of course your husband's company negotiated the type of coverage for the insurance contract. What state are you in?
  18. I have seen some posts similar - if you use the search box at the top you might find information
  19. Alcohol is metabolised by the small intestine, but primarily affects the liver. Legally it leaves your system in 5 hours but metabolically 10 hours. Do you really NEED to drink alcohol? Which is more important?
  20. Just a warning - some companies have 90 day cannot miss work rule, better read the handbook cover to cover.
  21. Try ready-made Isopure in blue raspberry - they are tart, not overly sweet. Hang in there, relax and just keep following the plan.
