    I, too, had tremendous hunger soon after surgery. A lot of people think you're crazy when you say you're starving this early out, but I've been there and I feel your pain. DO reach out to your surgeon. If you lay down and have hunger pains you might also be having acid reflux and they can help you with that. DO drink your protien shakes. They might not seem like they're filling your up, but they're giving you the nutrition you most need. DONT skip ahead with your eating schedule. Tell your surgeon's office what you're going through. They might allow you to try one particular thing from the next eating level that is safer than risking you making a bad decision. Talk to them. My team was awesome and helped a lot when I was going through this. Best wishes.

    Thanks a lot

    Just to clarify, surgery was 7/7 or 9/7? If you are 2 months post-op and still in pain, you need to talk to your surgeon ASAP! That is absolutely not normal. If surgery was yesterday, then totally normal to still have gas pains. Best things to do are to walk regularly, take Gas-X often, use a heating pad, and stay upright (no laying down flat). Also, take your pain meds. Staying on top of the pain is really critical to healing. If you have along drive ahead, is it possible to spend a night in a hotel? It might be helpful to get another day of rest before hitting the road. Best of luck to you!
    Sorry it was 9/7

    Hmm do you have anything else needing done that gi surgery could help? How about a hiatus hernia repair, do you have any comorbities like d iabetes, sleep apnea or change,of developing cancer or heart disease in your family. My,grandma, may she rest in peace, had a saying. The Good Lord never made an itch that he didn't make a scratcher to fit it. There has got to be an answer, maybe someone else on here can think,of something.

    If you have insurance coverage through your employer there's no guarantee that bariatric surgery is covered. Your employer gets to pick and choose what's covered and if they want to save money on premiums they may exclude things often considered non-essential, including bariatric surgery. I discovered last October that my company's PPO policy did not cover it, so i complained to HR and they got it included in the plan effective our next open enrollment date, which was Jan. 1. There may often be exceptions made if your doctor says your life is in danger if you don't have the surgery, but those are rare. So if your insurance says they don't cover it, go to HR immediately and ask them why it's not included in your coverage.

    Thanks a lot my thing is is was included in last we did open enrollment and I talked to someone by phone they also told me sence I started all ready I wouldn't have a problem at all now that March will b here soon when I'm scheduled to have surgery then this pops up of course my surgeon office said fight it but I don't even no where to begin at my job don't have HR in the building we have to call this 800 number and they not trying to help me at all.
