28lbs total. 17 since my surgery. I think that's a decent start.

Sterling Heights Michigan. Dr. Katz

Well today is my first post op appointment. I can't wait to see how much I actually lost.

I was worried as well it wasn't until the 6th day after surgery. As my nurse stated you consumed nothing but liquids.

I am May 2nd. Sunday is my pureed phase.

I was strictly told I could only bring my bipap machine, ID/Insurance card, and a comfortable change of clothes to go home in. Didn't need or use a heating pad protein drinks or a binder. Mine was local.

My Dr. had me stop them 1 wk prior

I think it was about vitamins. Not taking them 1 week before surgery.

Thank you. I hope yours goes just as well.

Oh. I was able to start them the day after I got home.

Extremely well. Thank you for asking.

Why are you taking bariatric vitamins? If you haven't had your surgery?

I have BCBS and I buy my own vitamins they're not covered because it's OTC.

If you want it bad enough. I never thought I could do it but I focused on the light at the end of the tunnel,which got bigger every day. Good luck ?

I'm feeling very good. I never had gas which was surprising. My pain was managed very well. 1 week is plenty of time off (office) work. Being on full liquids really opened my food opportunity. I think I am an exception to the rule with how well I am doing.
