Let us talk loose skin and muffin tops
GreenTealael replied to omrhsn's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
The pain from plastic surgery was a lot more intense than laparoscopic weight loss surgery for me (however to me it was comparable to a caesarean). I also didn’t think I would pursue skin removable when I started because I was so focused on health. Honestly I could have gone either way but what pushed me over the edge was someone asking when was I due. I was not pregnant. I booked a plastic surgery consult less than 6 months after that. I see a lot of sleeveless compression tops for men and that might be I lighter layer option to consider. -

I may need to pick you brain on the process. Where do you get your kefir grains? -

Kefir is like yogurt not oil. This one in particular has a texture like airy Greek yogurt and slightly fuzzy. -

Necessities/Reccomendations
GreenTealael replied to AmandaD.'s topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I recommend a bowl with lid for storage of unfinished food and a cup/bottle with measurements to keep track. -

Incidentally we are fighting unreasonable egg prices in my area. I’d rather not eat/use eggs anymore. The Marzipanschleife looks really good? Is that dark chocolate? -

I’m glad you’re feeling better ❤️, still tell your doctor about any changes. -
Day 11 PO - Severe/sharp pain left side

If the pain is bad enough to prevent you from walking, it’s time to message your doctor and see what’s the next step. Get well soon ❤️ -
I think it just means all of the evaluations need to be current (within the past 12 months) but don’t quote me. 🤣

Every insurance company is different but it’s usually a medically supervised weight loss program (someone correct me if I’m wrong please). To know for sure you need to ask the insurance company directly. Also there may or may not be a separate requirement from the Bariactric practice so check that as well. If the owner of the spa is a licensed medical professional or there was a nutritionist on staff that may work. Even so you can ask your referring doctor to add your previous weightloss attempts with the spa to your records as a back up. Here is Cigna’s info on Bariatric surgery (it’s long but page 2 describes what you are looking for) https://static.cigna.com/assets/chcp/pdf/coveragePolicies/medical/mm_0051_coveragepositioncriteria_bariatric_surgery.pdf

A Cinderella style transformation. It can be weight related or not but it’s usually about becoming more beautiful in some physical way. -

Adding the term Glow Up to the “ick” list. Idk why exactly but mainly because it’s over used.
