i had my surgery monday, so far so good, not too much pain, but i am all bloated from the gas. it hurts

i have tricare and was approved in less than 2 weeks, on another note, how do you personally tell if your liver is shrinking, is it by urinating a lot? some one said this on another post, just wandering, this is where i am right now. thank you

i get banded at the end of january or the first of februay. i go back to the dr. jan 12 and then if everything is good i do the 2 week liquid diet. good luck to everyone. merry christmas

i think the gastric is a fast lose but it is drastic, i don't want to be down that long. i have a busy life, i am doing the lap band that is right for me. good luck, talk to your diabetic doctor, maybe they can help set your mind at ease. good luck.

i am going to be banded the end of january, my 2nd appt with the surgeon is jan 12, then they will schedule a surgery if my liver has shrunk enough, i started the preop diet today, i hope i can do it. it is going to be hard to drink those shakes, does anyone have any recommendations thanks:thumbup:

off the subject, i have tri care also, did you have health problems? i don't and i am worried they will not pay? i am only about 20 lbs from being 200 percent over my ideal weight. did you have a lot of trouble being approved

i feel the same way that you do. i know i need all the help there is out there for me to suceed in this.

i have the same problem did you get approved by now thanks

weight watchers and no carbs, well almost no carbs. it is hard

is it from the anestesia(sp) that makes you so sick?or is it the band? i am in the pre lap band state, just trying to learn all i can. does everyone get sick,does it all last for days? also when you drink do you always have to sip? thanks for your help.

i am new to this group, i am on the second month of the diet, i am doing ok, i have lost 10 lbs, not the greatest but that is ok. is anyone on the tricare insurance? good luck to everyone.:wink_smile:
