Hello, I'm trying to get started on how do I go about getting this surgery started? Do I make appointment with my doctor and tell her I want this done? I've been over weight most of my life and I can't seem to lose the weight but gain it. I'm sick of being heavy and having medical problems. I'll be 50 soon and I want to be healthy and live not fat with heath problems. I'm 5'5 and around 238 lbs. I have Medicare part A and B and Tricare for insurance. I'm so lost and scared that my doctor will say no for some reason. Help!
I actually did not go thought a primary doctor. I found an ad about the program on a magazine and looking back at it now I think it was my sign to start losing weight. I called the program and signed up for the orientation class and they tell you how to schedule appointments with the doctor and the dietitian and honestly from that it was a six-month process but the hospital made it really easy to follow up with everything.
-hope this helps

Hi Guys,
So today marks my 5th day having the surgery!
I was really scared going into the hospital at 5:00AM chanting to myself “I can do this” over and over.
It all started great they took a urine sample and told me to change into a hospital gown, everything after that went by really fast I was in the operating room by 7:00AM.
I remember waking up in the recovery room in pain. But I expected that and soon after they gave me pain meds I was fine.
I stayed in the hospital over night and the next day I was allowed to go home with a full bag of medications.
Today, I can eat 3 purée meals a day ya me! Also my life consists of taking small sips of Water ever minute.
I still have sharp pains near my incision wounds every time I move, and it’s really hard for me to bend down to pick up something off the floor
But, i’m getting through it everyday it gets easier. Hope this helps!

Hi everyone!
I’m about a month away from my gastric bypass surgery and I have started to do some research on the Vitamins and other medications I will be taking after surgery
I’m regards to headaches and pain I usually take Advil, but due to the risk of ulcers after surgery I cannot take it anymore. I find Tylenol doesn’t work for me and I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what they use to manage headaches and pain that won’t do any harm. Thanks all!
i had the same problem and at the hospital they gave me a bottle of children chewable Tylenol and so far so good.

Hi everyone,
So I'm 4 years post-op and I have gained some weight! I've been trying to lose weight and not much is helping. Was thinking of asking my Doc for some appetite suppressor pills. Was wondering if anyone has taking any "diet pills" after Bariatric surgery? Any advice? TIA!
