For me personally this surgery was a huge decision in not only my life but my family’s life. I’m not going to ruin it by being selfish and eating bad that’s how I got to where I was in the first place. I’m 3 weeks post op as well and would be terrified to eat some of those things. Think about yourself and not food. Looks like you are making great progress with your weight loss and that is going to make you feel good in the end not the food.

My surgeon suggested Milk of Magnesia for any constipation issues. He said that was most gentle on the abdomen.

I paid $6500 plus airfare at Obesity Control Center. Dr Ortiz is one of the best rated sleeve surgeons. Top notch experience. Well worth the money.

Honestly I went through all that with insurance and turned down because my BMI wasn’t high enough and I had no medical issues. It was a huge waste of time. Last week I went to Mexico and paid for the sleeve out of my pocket. Best thing I’ve ever done. I should have done it years ago. Amazing surgeon and healthcare treatment. I know the journey will be long and hard but I am ready for it. My advice don’t waste a lot of time with insurance companies if it is what you truly desire. Good luck.
