I received gastric sleeve in 2019 and was doing really well until covid hit. I lost my job and staying home when it first hit really made me depressed. Now I cant lose any weight i just keep gaining and gaining. Im trying to get some advice on if i should get revision surgery or bypass.

I’m positive it’s 90 in I read my post op paperwork a million times. They want me on Protein and Water. I had the sleeve

Hello,

how did you guys handle post op. They want me to have 90 grams of Protein and 90 grams of Fluid a day so far I think I’ve had 8oz of fluid. I’m not really sure how they expect me to drink 90. Does anyone have any tips or advice thanks

If you can't make it without pizza for two weeks pre-op, how do you expect to make it a lifetime post-op not eating those things that made you obese in the first place? Two weeks is NOTHING! You'll have to be on liquids 2-3 weeks post-op as well. If you don't think you can do that, maybe surgery isn't for you. With liquids you can have sugar-free popsicles, diet or sugar-free drinks like Gatorade Zero, sugar-free pudding, broths, and more. It's really important to shrink your liver pre-op to make sure the surgeon can reach your stomach without difficulty during the surgery.

It’s day one and you expect me to not think of pizza or have cravings at all?? I’m just venting I know what I have to do long term thanks

Hello ,

I spoke to my insurance and they stated weight watchers is coveted as long as I have photocopies of the stamps and or written proof of participation for six months AND 2 physicians visits during the time period. My question is how does all of this get documented with my physician? I told her I’m starting weight watchers and I’m thinking about gastric sleeve and that’s about it. I do not want any hiccups because I plan on getting my surgery in March . Do you have any suggestions? Also they gave me the sheet attached I’m so confused on how to fill this out please help if you can

Okay so it’s open enrollment time and I’m deciding if I should go to BCBS because they have a shorter medically supervised requirement. The only thing is if I change insurance I have to change PCP do you think I should stick with UHC or change to BCBS
