Dr Vohra all the way The BEST

Dr Vohra was perfect Long Island New York

thank you so much for posting this it is going to be so helpful when i am on solids. i am really picky on and off type person. i love something one day and sick of it the next plus i get bored easily.

i found out when they gave it to me for pain after surgery

many blessings

i have a very very similar problem and so i dont end up hurting myself one way or another i am not using a scale until solids. i am going to measure myself once a week always no more no less. when i start weighing myself it will only be once a month, if i can handle it. it is really easy for me to start getting depressed and crazy over my weight. i have done very well keeping all the disorders i have i check. i would love to weight and measure myself every second but in my heart i know it is not safe for me. i think it is something you really have to think about honestly and talk to your therapist and those who know you best. you might be doing fine with it for awhile and then have rough spots and need to change your plans and it is good to have honest feedback so you know when you need a change even if maybe you dont want to. i decided to focus on healing now and to stress the rest later. i monitor what i eat for what my body needs to heal and i get weighed at the doctors. the scale is just too stressful. i know i am losing because i know i am doing the right things with my time and energy. i monitor those things rather than a number because they tell the whole truth of what i am doing and what i can control.

my doc requires a full month on broth Jello and Optifast only nothing close to solid. then a month of mushies then soft solids. its not that bad now because i really dont feel for much. i get some nausea after anything goes down and i am scared to death of throwing up so i dont take chances.

i am on liquids for a month i just wanted to see how long everyone else did liquids. i am also on nexium for 6 months.

i dont know if this has happend to anyone else but i am so ichy. i know it is not my soap. it just started like a day ago, it started off slow and kept building. i took benedryl and it did nothing. i know not being able to sleep happens to a lot of people but i have only heard of one other person having an ichy. does anyone remember what he possible reasons were for it??

Welcome home!

I understand about the food thing. I am not even sleeved yet and I am already tired of food talk 24/7. I have really been careful about my own food issue the last 4 months and I look around and see many people who have food issues too.

there are way more people with food issues than there are people with fat issues. i am the only really fat person in my family. everyone else is average sized and they are not helping

Hey Alisia, It's great to hear from you so soon after your surgery. Mine is scheduled for Sept.15, so I'm not there yet, but I think that the pain you are feeling will fade as your healing moves along. What helps that unbearable empty feeling? Are the liquids going down okay and do they satisfy you at all? Please do keep us posted as you progress. I am really glad to see you are doing well. Keep the faith, the best is yet to come.

liquids help sometimes Jello more so but it is harder when you smell the food you want

Congrats to you Kelly...Again, it is so great to know how well you are doing. Oh how I wish I too were having my surgery in Mexico! I hear nothing but good things. Keep us informed on your progress.

i didnt have it there i had in ny right by my house

i found out i am now allergic to morphine that why it hurt so much for me

i am doing well i do have pain tho i have six incisions only one hurts i think its because i was not really on a pre op diet. my mind is still on food it is only unbearable when i feel empty.

hey guys... it felt so good to sleep in my own house last night. it is not easy to rest in a hospital . i am doing well i am in some pain but it gets better everyday. i do get hungry mentally hungry but i think it is from boredom really and my family eating around me plus talking about food every second. i never noticed how much people talk about food until. even people who dont have weight issues, what i am going to eat, what did you eat, are you going to eat, do you want to go get something to eat , foof food and more food.oh well just a week or how ever long and i can have full liquidstat wont be so bad

i am excited and kind of scaredish type thingy a bit. my mind is going 80 miles an hour checking and re checking to make sure i am doing everything i need to do, should do, could do, might be good if, and just in case. lol i cannot wait until they give me something to relax. i would take a xanax now but i am hoping because i am not taking any it will hit me stronger when i really need it. lol i am doing everything i can possibly do now i just need to leave it in the lords hands. wow i cannot believe it is finally happening, i am having surgery to change my life forever. any last minute advise? please pray for me i need all the help i can get.

I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. THANK GOD IT WAS APPROVED. YAY:biggrin0::biggrin0::biggrin0::biggrin0::biggrin0::biggrin0::001_tt2::drool5::001_tt2::lol0::w00t:

i dont even know where to start. i know some people get them to pay for the sleeve but i dont know how. it would be my first wls i dont know if that makes it better or worse. what do i have to do to get them to pay for it. what does the doctor have to do? i feel so lost. empire plan approved but they did not. they did not approve because it is invetigational. how do i show them that it is the best thing for me and that it has been around for a while. this is going to be hard. i dont even know how to research it.my eyes are bad so this will take me forever and a day. if anyone can point me in the right direction i would really appriciate it.

what country will have your cosmetic surgery? do you already know what doctor?

thank you soo very much! i do think i have to try the appeal first too even though i dont want to wait. but i really dont have money and another loan would really mess up everything. thank you again.

thanks you guys. i am just so unhappy it was only 3 days before my surgery. i dont know if i should wait for an appeal. i dont know if i can wait at all my knees have really been hurting and in the fall i am going to be living on the third floor there are no elevators. ooh god i was really looking forward to lose enough weight so less people wil bother me. it is so hard to focus on my work when i am just so scared of being seen and some saying something hurtful.

i dont know what to do really. i want to fight it because i dont know how i would come up with the money to go to mx. taking out a loan maybe but i have so many for school i dont know if anyone would give me another. school is another thing i really want to get this done before schoool starts. the plain fair is another issue, how many times would i have to go back down there for check ups. i would have to fly alone and that is really scary since i am visualy impared. who would pay if anything went wrong while i am up here.? could i even get another doctor to help with an appeal? this is all so overwhelming.

what insurance do you have? how did you get approved?

sorry i am a little better now. i did everything fine empire plan approved but bcbs and united healthcare said it is investigational. it can be appealed but now no one at the doctors office is getting to me. the insurance lady told me it is the doc ofice that puts in the appeal but the told me no and just tried to get me to do the band of bypass. if i have to i will take out a loan but i dont know if they will give one to me since i dont work i am just a student. i tried to ask the doctor questions about the procedure and since he didnt think it would be cover he kept try to get me to do another surgery. i told him if insurance doesnt pay i will find some where i can afford like mexico. he said dont do it. all he cares about is making money "we all do but still dont make obvious". i didnt get to find out what size bougie he uses what the pre op diet is nothing. i asked the dietition she couldnt even tell me. i have learn more from this site than i have with any of my visits there. a part of me wants to fight it but if i do i dont think i want to use him but he has been do it for 19 years. he staff is just crazy nice but crazy.

i hate my life nothing is ever simple i dont know how to appeal it. i dont know how i can pay for it and i dont know how i am going to live like this. someone pleace tell to me something
