Well, my surgery got rescheduled to this Friday. My surgeon's father passed away. So, I hope to be able to update this Saturday. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I just had to do 3 appointments with nutrionist, and see a pulmonologist. I had a chest x-ray, upper gi, and blood work. The whole process was about 2 months. Liquid preop diet for 2 weeks. I was really hungry at first, but after the first 3 days I was fine. I also had to drink magnesium citrate this morning and Clear liquids all day. Not to bad! I will update hopefully tomorrow after surgery. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I make mine with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, frozen unsweetened strawberries and spinach. I put it in my ninja and I think it helps. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

My Dr's office is ok with using nonfat dry powdered milk. I think it's better tasting and texture wise than the protein powder. I didn't like the unflavored unjury. Even though it's unflavored, I could still taste it. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

All the Fluid is out of my band and I still have heartburn. It's crazy. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I'm surprised about the ibuprofen as well. That can cause ulcers in your pouch. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I have the ninja with auto iq. I've had it for about 5 months. It works great. I add frozen fruit, spinach or kale. It blends it up really smooth. It does have the individual size cups. It's loud, but it has a lot of power. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Also, ask for a bariatric surgeon to review your case. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I'm having a revision on 3/28. I to had lost 90 lbs and, then I started having problems vomiting when eating. I went back to the surgeon and I had a UGI which showed a dilated esophagus. He took all the saline out. It was like that for 3 months, and still unable to have a fill. Then it was recommended for me to have a revision. My insurance denied me at first. I typed up a 3 page letter stating all of the problems that I am having with the band. I also called the insurance company to find out what type of physician reviewed my case. It was an internal medicine dr. In my letter I requested that a bariatric surgeon review my case, and I was approved right away. I can't wait for the band to come out. I chew so many tums! Lol.

I'm a C.T. tech and I am having surgery on 3/28. I was hesitant at first to tell my coworkers, but I actually work with a great group. They have been very supportive. You will always hear nightmares, but just think of all the patients that do have it without complications. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

There is one called nascobal that insurance covers a portion. I guess it's usually about $25 a month. I'm going to be signing up for it today at my preop appointment.
