Loose Skin, Saggy Breasts and Hair loss...OH MY!?
NYJenn replied to a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh my gosh! I didn’t realize! Lol, yes it does 🤣 -
I think it’s so individualized; what some people can tolerate, other cannot. It’s trial and error really

Eating out or at others homes...
NYJenn replied to DanieHall's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don’t eat out, it’s so not worth it. But if I do, I get a take out box or split something with my husband or tween son -
Loose Skin, Saggy Breasts and Hair loss...OH MY!?
NYJenn replied to a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’ll take this arm (with that extra wiggle of skin at the bottom) any day of the week. Being morbidly obese SUCKED -
I WOULD have had a sweet treat; cake, pie, ice cream...I didn’t know I wouldn’t be able to tolerate them anymore and that I would miss them

How long did you keep logging meals?
NYJenn replied to Jobber's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I logged religiously for about 8 months. I stopped for a little bit and my weight loss slowed...needless to say, I’m logging again -
Wow! You look like a different person now 🥰

Gastric bypass or sleeve
NYJenn replied to laura071693's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Bypass... I’ve seen too many revisions with the sleeve. -
Puréed meat? Yikes. That doesn’t sound good at all
-
Call again and ask them to send you the policy terms in writing. The fact that two different people gave you two different answers is appalling

CPAP Compliance- possibly switch Surgeons
NYJenn replied to Midnightsun's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ask for a full mask instead of the nose pillows and shop around on amazon, they have these soft slip covers for the straps so they don’t irritate your skin -
Are you taking all your vitamins?

What are your favorite excuses?
NYJenn replied to Supersecret's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
“I had my gallbladder out” (which I did the same time as my bypass) “I just can’t tolerate _____anymore” -
When does my bmi have to be 40?
NYJenn replied to Peeille's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Remind them that they work for you. You pay into their system each month but it’s your plan. They owe you these answers. Ask them to email you the exact requirements for WLS -
Denied/Appealing Questions About Pre-Op Requirements
NYJenn replied to BabettesFeast's topic in Insurance & Financing
I can’t stress enough how important it is to understand your coverage. It will involve calling your insurance company and asking LOTS of questions. I was on the phone 30-40 each time but I knew exactly what I was responsible for, what was covered, if I would be approved, etc. it’s a pain, but totally worth it -

When does my bmi have to be 40?
NYJenn replied to Peeille's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You have to check your specific insurance plan. My plan said “over 35 with co-morbidities ” -
gum chewing after vertical sleeve surgery
NYJenn replied to Gurtheen Mcgee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I chew gum all the time, was never told not to -
I didn’t...my kids were 9 and 4 at the time

NYJenn replied to d258's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Phone, charger and toothbrush. Don’t bother bringing a lot of stuff. -

NYJenn replied to MaryNa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Call the surgeons office

I just downed a medium sized bowl of fruit salad in one sitting, how is this possible?!
NYJenn replied to Brotherman Bill's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Fruit should be the last thing you eat after protein and veggies. At 2 weeks post op I don’t even think fruit was allowed for me -
When did you reach your goal weight?
NYJenn replied to egs93's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My goal is 150, I’m currently at 168. I REALLY want to hit my goal by the one year mark (7/10) so I’m going to work my tail off for the next six weeks
