thank you for letting me know!

thank you for letting me know!

I'm hoping to get a revision to a bypass for gerd and sleep apnea if that is a possible. I called tricare and the lady said that they only cover 1 weight loss surgery in the lifetime or the person. Any experience with getting approved with tricare select?

I got the sleeve done in 2010, lost a hundred pounds and then had 2 babies which basically stopped my weight loss. I have gone back to the yoyo effect between 200 and 245. I'm currently 243 and just want to get the weight off. I have severe sleep apnea and gerd that wakes me up sometimes from stuff in my throat.. Has anyone who has tricare select be able to get a full bipass after getting the sleeve? I had tricare prime for the sleeve. I called and they told me that one 1 biariatric surgery is allowed. Thank you in advance!

Thank you Ladies!!! I think your right i just need to go back to high protein and green veggies if there is room. iv let myself go over the years and am trying to get back on the wagon..

Hey, guys well I am 10 1/2 years post-op. I've let myself go manage to lose 40 pounds again but I still have a good 65 to 70 minimum that I want to lose. I want to do a pouch reset but I'm not 100% sure how to go about doing it? I was just going to drink protein shakes and smoothies for a week or 2 but is there anything i really should do or know before i jump in head first? Thanks in advance!!!

as they say everyone is different. i didn't gain any weight when i was pregnant with either baby. i also carried pretty far back so i didn't look pregnant until i was 8 months along. when I have my first i was 35 pounds lighter and managed to keep that off for a year. the second pregnancy went similar to the first. except i gained 20 pounds after i was done nursing. Thank you sooo much. Im not sure that there is a nutritionist where i am now. I moved from ca to germanyand the clinic that i goto is pretty small but i will see my main dr and see what she has up her sleeve..

I had my sleeve surgery in 2010..did really well and lost 100 pounds in 11 months. however, i got pregnant at the 11th month so had to switch to a more normal diet. fast forward i have 2 kids now and i have maintained my weight loss but want to start again to lose another 50 - 70 pounds..so how do i go about resetting things?? I know a lot of people are doing the KETO diet but im not really sure if that is something that would work for me with this surgery... When i had it done the diet was protein first.... then green veggies if there was room.. is that still what Drs recommend? Any advice would help tons. Thank you in advance :-)

if you dont mind me asking how much is it to have the surgeries done in mexico? I would love to have a body lift as i kind of need it.

I just got a referral to talk to a plastic surgeon to get my saggy stomach skin removed. I have been told by a few people that some surgeons word it so that insurance will cover everything. Anyway Im hoping that i can find one in San Diego that is really good. I kind of need everything fixed as i lost 100 lbs everything is saggy and grows. and other tips would be great. TIA Meg

Yea i figured that. Iv seen some cream that is supposed to tighten loose skin. But i wasnt sure if anyone had heard of it or tried it Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
