    Alcohol

    I think that you should not drink at all. At 2 weeks out that your even thinking about it is a red flag in my opinion. I went through a 6 month support / educational class before my insurance would give me my surgery date and all I ever heard when we spoke about alcohol was "no". No more, none, never, full of empty calories and bypassed people have a very high chance of becoming alcoholics......just say no!
  6. We have a lot of March bypassers!! Whooo hoooo! I have 3 weeks to wait, and after 6 months of classes so my insurance would pay for it 3 weeks still feels like it will be a longer wait!!

    Vitamix/blenders after surgery?

    Ive heard no blending right after surgery! It adds to much air into your drink so if your doing it close to post op, let it sit to get the air bubbles out before you drink it.
  10. I think sleeve and bypass are soooo different, maybe there is a bypass fb page?
  11. Im from California too! San Diego actually! Been overweight since childhood, like 8 yrs old or so.....always the big girl. I have no comorbidities (thank god). Im married with a 10yr old and Im 50. Had the lapband place in 2009 and removed 3 months ago......so happy to be doing this! Should have done it all along.
  12. Wow!! Fantastic!!! Tell us all a little bit about yourselfs!?!

    Curious

    I had my band out in October and am being bypassed March 14th Im over the moon and so excited to start my new life ..... deep down when I got my band, I knew I should have gotten the bypass but I suppise all things in life happen for a reason. I think the band has prepared me well for a bypass.

    Well, I had the band placed in November 09 and removed October 15 so this is the last time I want to go through wls. Ive heard of people bypassing the sleeve and I dont want anything but the strongest surgery I can get. I will have to check out that site obesity coverage. Com but I've heard from many sources youll loose more and faster with bypass.
