Disappointed insurance denied
Toodie1974 replied to Mz. NuNu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That sounds like a bunch of bs....appeal, appeal appeal!!!! -
@@layknee I love Chloe and Isabel. Good choice. My best friend is a district manager of sorts (not sure her exact title) - she does very well. Good luck! I really wish bronxmerci would check in - if anyone hears from her please post it. My prayers are on overload right now. I think we should all start posting our fave meals for ideas. I know nutrition is different but it'll work. I'm not allowed to have any grains until 6 months out. So I'm jealous of those that can have crackers and such ....how crazy is that lol I'm in exercise craze right now and doing my best to eat bc I have no appetite so I'm in a severe stall. It'll break someday and I was prepared for it so I have to remind myself through pictures. I'm glad I took them. I'll share a comparison from 2wks out and now at 9 weeks out. I have a waist!

Thanks, yes the hair is way different. It's hard for me to believe the after picture is me! I have had about 10 people pm in the last 24 hours wanting to know about the procedure. I want to be open and honest and let them know that it's been what was best for me but everyone is different. If someone is not serious about a life style change they should not do it bc it drastically changes your life!

I don't know about anyone else but I finally had to make it public knowledge on Facebook that I had surgery bc I was getting tons of messages after I posted a pic in a cute dress after losing 70 pounds! People were full of comments but wanted me to share what had worked for me! I originally didn't want everyone to know I had surgery but I did not want to be dishonest either! Has anyone else had to do this or how did you finally tell everyone?

Migraines and bypass surgery

@@be_satisfied I'm not sure I'm still pre op surgery is Dec 15, I see the surgeon tomorrow and that is on my list to ask what can I take after surgery for migraines bc Tylenol had never worked for me I'm hoping and praying that surgery is going to help ease them up for me -
I don't think BC takes long to approve. You just have to have met all their requirements first, that's the hardest part. I didn't get my surgery scheduled until approval was done. They must be pretty sure! Made it through pre op testing today. Woo hoo...no more hoops to jump through!

Dec. 15th anyone?
aHealthierMe121714 replied to get2chris's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is my last week of food. Start my pre op liquids Mon for surgery on the 29. Only thing I am nervous about is waiting on ins approval (wondering how long it will take to hear back from BCBS) and then also pre op for 2 wks. Sooo ready for surgery and after bc you will HAVE to eat liquids, etc but this before stuff, with all the Christmas parties, ohhhh boyyyy. I GOT THIS! Yall send a prayer up for me that ins goes through and pre op diet won't be for nothing. Lol -
Florinda, I believe I saw something like this on Dateline or a show like that. Can you eat anything or are you only allowed the protein through the tube? Sheryl, sorry to hear about your friends horse. You can always fast tomorrow. Can you explain more about your back pain? Is it your lower back? Do you feel like it may be a disc? I'm curious bc I have had a lot of back pain that I've had to work through since losing weight and I've done a lot of research on it so it's very interesting to me. I think I've talked on the board in the past how our bodies are so used to walking around with the excess weight that once it's gone we have to retrain our bodies how to move again. Anyway, your pain may not have anything to do with that, I'm just curious.

Name something strange and super unhealthy that you used to eat before weight loss
terrydumont46 replied to My Bariatric Life's topic in Food and Nutrition
I was just thinking about my love. I loved French toast with melted butter and powered sugar. oh man. I bought some white bread for the family to make turkey sandwiches with but there were a few pieces left and this was where my mind went to. no one home, I almost did but man I didn't want to see how high my bs would go. so I was good. -
7:15 am surgery tomorrow and sooo hungry!
kymmiej11 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I got the call that my surgery is @ 7:15 am Tuesday, I'm at my parents so they can take me early tom morning. They made egg salad for dinner ( Bc I hate egg salad) which was very thoughtful of them, but just the toast they're making smells so good lol.. So I'm taking the Xanax my doc prescribed for my nerves and am trying to go to sleep.. I'm so excited but at the same time can't wait for it all to be over.. See you all on the flip side -
How long if at all, are you to take Omeprazole ( Prilosec)
Faithluvhope84 replied to Homecie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was only for a month. It's interesting though bc I have reflex before the surgery and wonder if I should continue. -
A while back I came across this quote..and I have made it one of my life's motto's. What you allow is what will continue. So good for you for not allowing these things to ruin your day, or night or your life. We all get tied up into other people's BS now and again and that's all part of our connection, but when it becomes uncomfortable we have the right to put a stop to it I have to remind myself of that far too often!!

OMG yes!!! I NEED raw veggies/salad! I think I'm dying eating mushy veggies. I mean they taste good but I want sliced cucumber w hummus and just raw broccoli and cauliflower bcs they're yummy.

I just joined Bariatric pal. I am 43 yrs old and 250 pounds. I am meeting with the surgeon on 12/18 and was told I would then be scheduled for an endoscopy. I am hoping to be approved for the Sleeve around the beginning of next year. I am very scared but I don't admit that to my family or friends bc they are scared for me. I would appreciate any pre-surgery advice. Thanks!

Sick and tired of explaining myself...
BitterSweet* replied to Stephanie Kandace's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@ProjectMe, I think your idea is very sound and if the OP has a family dynamic like that, your solution would probably work. The people in my family are quite dysfunctional. I can only imagine the OP sitting at the table basically being ridiculed and questioned, and I doubt that her discomfort was invisible and oblivious to them, but they still persisted and have done so on other occasions as well. They lack boundaries and if she doesn't have that elder role model in the family to silence this BS, I would squash it myself, and it wouldn't be pleasant. -

Jersrose43 replied to Stephanie Kandace's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with vsgann. You need to lay down the law. Your family thinks this is a cure and expecting to see hundreds of pounds melt overnight and then will talk about how you regained it all. Fuck them Tell them next time the concern is appreciated but not a topic for discussion with ignoramuses and change the subject. Continue on your docs plans. Don't call it a diet that just fuels their bs It's a lifestyle not a diet -
OMG!! Tomorrow is the day and I am sooooo scared!! Every thought imaginable is goin thru my mind. I've even thought of backing out of this. My nerves are a wreck but I just keep talking to God bc he is my strong power!

Im so sick of passive aggressive people.
MichiganChic replied to JustWatchMe's topic in Rants & Raves
You sound like you got it goin' on, sister. You are right to have a low tolerance for that BS. It sounds to me like have hit the nail on the head with all of it. Doesn't it make you wonder why we ever put up with it before? Weight loss is a strange phenomenon in that way - make us feel more powerful and in control of ourselves. Maybe we like ourselves better, so we won't work so hard for other's approval. Maybe we have more self respect, and start to demand respect from others. I think that's hard for the people in our lives, when we change the rules we've always live by when dealing with them. The one's worth keeping will accept and support that change, and the others ones.....well, you know know what to do with them -
Only 5 days post op and I'm over this
happyfun2014 replied to Vabeachlady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been experiencing the same issue with pain. I have the Loratabs Acetemetiphen also and took those at 2am sat morning and have has to take every 6 hours. I think they are making me constipated. I had surgery wed dec 3 and came home Friday after I had a small bowel movement in hospital. I have been walking like dr and everyone says to do and tried heating pad. I , too, have not called my dr bc I've read things people wrote on here about pain and figured it was just suppose to be this way. In my opinion, I haven't passed a lot of Gas so I'm trying the GasX strip now. Tell me, is it suppose to hurt a little in your ribs and chest when you take deep breaths?? I have pain there and just keep thinking it's gas?? Is this normal people?? I don't want to go to ER bc I'm being a big baby about pain but also don't want to ignore signs. Help!! Advice please!! -

We are Rockstars
happyfun2014 replied to bellabloom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my RNY this past Wed. Dec 3rd. Was discharged from hospital yesterday (Friday). Today is my first full day to get in all my water and protein. Have done well with that but I'm having pain still . I guess it's kinda like the gas pains in the hospital. Does this gas stay in you this long?? Or could I have created gas today when I was drinking all day? I know I'm going to have pain bc they just rearranged my insides but I'm just concerned about still being in pain and don't just want to take pain pills-I want it to go away! Do I need to pass more gas? Only have passed gas maybe twice today. Help!! Advice please!! -
Blame it on dealing with life without food numbness, but my tolerance for BS seems to be at an all time low right now. Getting crap from my mother who expects me to live in her head. I had the audacity to have my Saturday planned with my friend after my morning dental appointment, and didn't know she was thinking (not saying, just thinking) of asking me to run to the mall for her before a candy sale ended at one pm today. This was at noon today. She's openly hostile and accusing me of never helping her. Good God. Getting crap from the not-soon-enough-to-be-ex who's texting me again because he's pissed that some mail addressed to both of us actually got forwarded to my new address and he couldn't intercept it and hold it hostage. What part of "no contact" does a narcissist not get? Oh yeah, all of it. Getting a FB message from one of his friends who decided to scold me for not attending his recent anniversary party with my husband (are you f-ing kidding me?). There's more, but suffice it to say I feel like a s)&t magnet this week. I went out last night to a political banquet and had a blast. It was something I could never do in my marriage because NSETBEx was a member of the "other" party, and ridiculed every opinion and decision I ever made. It was so refreshing to be in a room full of intelligent people who shared my world views. Today and tonight I am celebrating Christmas with my best friend. One of the only people in my life who remains bull$:!@ free. Thanks for listening.

Why Does Everyone Want To Be A "Food Addict?"
JustWatchMe replied to Warren L. Huberman PhD.'s topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
I am a binge eating addict. food addict for short. I am in remission because I have changed my behaviors and because my band helps with the physical hunger. I am recovering in OA just like a gambler recovers in GA. I don't "want" to label myself a food addict, but there you go. I'd lost 130 pounds many years ago but couldn't keep it off. The reasons behind me reaching for food were never addressed. And the one year definition of success? I call BS on that. I'll battle this addiction my whole life. It gets easier the longer I practice new habits and don't indulge in binging or sport eating, as another BP poster calls it. But that draw will ALWAYS be there for me. And once I indulge it, I slide down the slippery slope, and it becomes almost impossible to halt. That's addiction, sir. I found this article insulting and aggravating because it does contain helpful behavioral techniques. So I'll take what l liked and leave the rest. With all due respect, I find this to be an oddly contentious article to have been posted here on BariatricPal.
