I'm 90% sure the prediet she has you on will suffice, if not she would have made it longer. Many people have to do a month, 6 weeks or even longer. Don't sweat the small stuff you'll just tie yourself up in knots. I'd tell you my story but you' d have trouble believing,it, I'm living it and even I don't believe it. If you're following perfect,you'll have a perfect surgery. And I'll celebrate with you. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Sounds like a bile reflux alright, did you get a hold of your surgeon or his office? See that's one of the few benefits to RnY, bile can't swim upstream through our intestinal loops. I would have thought though,it would be rare for your problem unless there's a blockage downstream. Wonder if anyone else in BP has had it? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Fluffy I've got a strange idea and the more I puzzle on it the more certain I become. Do you think there is any chance they would let me walk into the operating theater like the cSection mommies you see,on TLC and similar channels? I would feel like I was showing my strong commitment to seeing this through. They could give me the I Don't give a s**t pill or scopalamine patch in there but I'd really like to walk instead of riding. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

During the test they use multiple high settings then lower it until they find the lowest effective setting. I don't believe your own will give you the fits the testing did. I've had sinusitis this week, PCP told me to take a brief holiday from mine, I was awake for 36 hours because I had c trouble falling asleep without it. Last night I cut back to 4 hours usage with plenty of moisturizing Water in the tank, I rested better. PS If you use the nasal pillows you're less likely to develop the gas problems.

When you cheat you only screw over yourself, stop jumping off the wagon, use some of the commitment you had when you resolved to start on your journey. You're not hurting the surgeon, you're not hurting the surgical team, you're not even hurting the bariatric facility, just YOU. And since you're in this to help yourself to a better, healthier and thinner life, isn't cheating counter productive? Just a few home truths from your Bariatric Grandma -ME. And I'll use the age card if I have to, after all I went to High School with Mother Nature. And our guidance person was Father Time. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

And, if no one else mentions it, as your fat starts to leave all the hormones etc that were fat-soluble and were stored there are going to be released out into your system. Kind of going through puberty, pregnancy and menopause all at the same time. Only thing one lady said was in its benefit was you got a better figure and didn't have a crying baby to contend with.

And lol not for quite a while thereafter. You will have stages to go through and food will never be your "cuddle bunny" anymore. You will have a grown-up relationship, eating only for sustenance not for emotional support. Different but it will become your new way of life. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

I think I mentioned being a STNA before, well my last job was at Wally World. PCP wanted to put me on Lasix, told me to take it at 9:30-10 am, I said that won't work, I either was cutting fabric or on a register, neither one could I excuse myself from and WW doesn't encourage yellow rivers on their floor. Although I could keep a water bottle under my cutting table area it was rough to get coverage for a potty break. If I got there, it seemed like I got immediately paged back, they never seemed to remember how valuable I was at pay raise time. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Have you checked Planned Parenthood, your county health department or a clinic at a land-grant university? My closest one here in Ohio is Ohio Stste, sometimes their federal subsidies help defray costs. And sometimes the drug company can help, I remember one commercial for something else keeps saying Astra Zenika may be able to help. Also Wal Mart, Target and Giant Eagle drug prices are cheaper, at least in my area. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
