Help with nausea?
LauraLoodles replied to LauraLoodles's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello. Sorry I've only just seen this. Yes it did resolve thankfully. I ended up in hospital 3 times but at the 8 week mark I got alot better. Focus on getting liquids first because I ended up really dehydrated. I remember thinking what have a done to myself and really regretting it. Now I'm 9 stone lighter and it was the best decision I have ever made. Any doubts make an appointment with your doctor for help with anti nausea medication. I was on it for a while but I don't use it anymore. It really helped at the time though. -
New Job, New Insurance, No More WLS Coverage :(
gojackets replied to SymphonyOfDreams's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm in GA, but am working with Alabama Surgical Associates. https://www.alweightlosscenter.com/payment-options/self-pay-pricing/. I have UHC and our policy doesn't cover any bariatric procedures. So far I had a phone consult with Dr. Doucette. He wants me to lose 30 pounds before surgery - which because of my work schedule should be the end of Dec. I have a weight check in call with the Dr. in 2 weeks. -
Mounjaro Post Sleeve!!
KRod6 replied to la0525's topic in GLP-1 & Other Weight Loss Medications (NEW!)
I haven't had the surgery yet. Nut my doctor had me on Mounjaro 3 month pre op. Mounjaro is the best appetite suppressant. If I have any stalls I do plan to reach out to my doctor to see if getting back on Mounjaro will be good. Good luck! -
Just as an update, I went and saw my primary doctor and she was pissed at how the er visit went as well as urgent care, she told me the guy who came out and said they can't to fluids only in urgent care and I would need to go to the ER was wrong ( he intentionally lied to me so he would have 1 less patent) and she checked and he didn't even talk to the provider working before telling me that, then wrote me down as a LWOS (left with out being seen) she was very unhappy with both situations, she is also filing a report because she feels that either/both of those situations could have ended alot worse, especially had I not already been ontop of trying to correct the dehydration. She also gave me 2 bags of fluid, and has me coming back in later this week, as well as the beginning of next week for more. She said it might be more then I need but she'd rather that then not enough and absolutely doesn't want me to be treated that way again. Sent from my SM-G996U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm getting so nervous and also excited! Just 11 days to go! every time I wonder if im making the right decision I am reminded by some health issue or a painful joint. Today it was feeling huge in my hair stylists tiny chair and how embarrassed I felt to feel and look so squished into it. I'm also looking forward to my HS hopefully going into remission or at least getting manageable!! Can anyone share with me what their first week was like home? I spend 4 days at the hospital and come home to an empty house on the 21st. My husband wont be home until the 24th- is it smart to ask for a friend to stay with me the first night or two? I'm concerned I may have issues standing up after sitting/laying down the most. -
Feeling defeated 10 months post op
ASteff replied to ASteff's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you all so much for advice and your input, I do follow a low carb diet due to insulin resistance with PCOS. I think that unfortunately I may be kinda stuck here, I’ll keep following the plan and hope and pray for some movement in the right direction but I think for my mental health it’s not helping to beat myself up every week that the scale has stopped moving.. cause it hasn’t moved in 5 months…. I’m happier now at my 220lbs than I was at the 289 lbs before surgery so I think to give myself a little mental break I need to figure out how to be more positive about the small success I have had over the last 10 months. Focusing on the “not good enough” mindset has really triggered my depression and sense of self hate again and I definitely don’t want to get back to that where I need medications to get out of bed daily because those depression meds made me gain a ton. Gotta try and find some positivity somewhere right? Thanks! -

I am super excited & nervous! 🤩 My surgery is next week on October 12! I am currently on my post-op diet of 4 protein shakes a day & one meal (basically meat & veggies), the day before I can only have 5 protein shakes! Wishing everyone a successful surgery! -
I met with my surgeon a couple weeks ago. I thought I had my mind made up that I was going to do the sleeve but he told me with my hiatal hernia and Gerd that he would only do a gastric bypass. The more I read the posts on here I agree that this is the best option for me. I got my psychologist appt and got some paperwork in the mail to fill out. Many questions about my eating habits. What I eat if I am eating uncontrollably etc. Then in the middle of it a random question if I like to waterski! I laughed out loud! Then later in the questionaire it asked if I like to downhill snow ski at a fast speed. I know they are wondering, if I am a binge eater, bulimic, anorexic etc but what are the speed questions for? Adreline junkie?

I'm with you and can eat more then I think I should. I can eat 1 scrambled egg and 1.5 ounces of chorizo. I'm also starting my 3rd week after surgery. I honestly can't feel my stomach getting full and someone elses post made sense to me that a lot of our nerves have been cut so maybe as we heal more we'll be able to feel that full feeling before we eat to much. I was never given any size or calorie advice from my bariatric team so its a really hard thing to judge.

Hello, I just started Mounjaro!! I'm on Week 3 of 2.5mg and the appetite suppression is no joke! My doctor put me on this after stalling out at 80 pounds lost post op. Surgery March 2021, stopped losing March 2022 (but haven't gained). I'd like to hear about anyone else's experience so far, the weight loss has been slow, but I'm hopefully because the scale is finally moving again!!

Located in Europe- Surgery in Turkey

Hi 👋🏻 I’m booked for 4 weeks time . Both excited and nervous 😬😬😬 -
Fear of the unknown is real & an understandable reaction to something like this surgery. Mine went all so quickly, that I really didn’t have time to worry about anything: 6 weeks from initial GP’s appointment to meeting the surgeon, the dietician, doing the pre surgery diet & then the surgery. Though I’m also not a big worrier. If I have questions I’ll ask or research it myself. Knowledge is power. Think I was more concerned about telling my mum. Lol! A friend had recommended her surgeon & on meeting him I was confident about his ability. I was going to a good hospital. I had a supportive GP. And, after years of watching my father suffer with cancer, treatments & complications, I sort of learnt you can’t worry about something that MAY happen. It’s a waste of effort & emotions. Be aware of possibilities but you can’t be certain of what will happen until it does & then you can plan to move forward.

Best check with your surgeon & dietician because plans have different requirements. Plus we can only do what we can do within those guidelines. I was advised only 1/4 - 1/3 cup to begin slowly increasing to a cup over time but that was my plan. I remember it took me three days to eat two scrambled eggs for months. At about 8 months I could eat one egg. That was all I could do. I was able to eat two scrambled eggs for the first time last weekend & I’m more than 3 yrs post surgery.

I am a little over 3 weeks out of the sleeve and I am worried that my serving sizes are two big. Should I be able to eat two over easy eggs this early without an issue? I am losing weight. I just don't want to make myself sick. I am in the soft food stage.

Weight gaine 3 weeks post op from sleeve
nymisc replied to AmbiiNicole's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on the 12th and towards the end of my second week I started to gain a few pounds. It is off again now. I think that are body was just healing and hydrating. I have heard about the dreaded 3 week stall from many, but I was still shook when it happened. -
Roller Coasters Post Op
ShoppGirl replied to Darkangel505's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would definitely still ask your surgeon but I’m thinking they are going to say you are fine. I was only given restrictions in terms of lifting and then exercise but I was cleared for everything before ten weeks. Of course I had no reason to ask about roller coasters so better to ask just to be certain. -
Hi all. So I am getting very close to getting my pre-op appointment scheduled and then a surgery date, but problem is I am going on a vacation end of January '23 and it will be to theme parks. I am figuring I will be only 10-13 weeks out from my surgery and I am concerned that I will not be able to ride roller coasters. They really whip you around and can feel it in the tummy so I am concerned about a leak. Has anyone gone to a theme park after surgery or had your dr tell you how long to avoid an activity like that after surgery? I will definitely be speaking with the surgeon about this, but since that is a few weeks away, I figured I 'd see if anyone on here has had any experience with this. Thanks!

Weight gaine 3 weeks post op from sleeve
shenny10 replied to AmbiiNicole's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3 weeks out and also gained about 3 lbs from last week. I expected stalls from time to time but not to gain! I'm hoping that it's just that time of the month and the fact that my iron levels are severely low. I just started liquid iron supplements so we'll see next week! -

Good luck you'll do great! Im in the same boat, It's super likely I'll have my period next week during surgery too 😬 I'm hoping the worry and stress leading up to the big day will cause it to show up later lol -

You Are My Sunshine replied to KimA-GA's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Good luck to everyone that is past their October surgery date! Can't wait to hear from you all. Hope things went smooooooothly for you. I'm on day 7 (I think) of the liquid diet. My doc. ok'd veggies (low carb) this time, and that has made a difference. I've pooped twice, which is much better than the last time I did this and was already taking colace, etc. Although I am so very tired. Sleeping a lot. And sick of shakes, lol. But I'm down 8 pounds, which is the lowest weight I've seen this year. I hesitate to be excited because that scale can go up and down like the sea, you know. Ha. Anyway, 1 week out today. I have bouts of panic, but trying to manage. -
How long did it take your surgeons office to submit to insurance???
You Are My Sunshine replied to raspberrylime's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was pretty quick. I guess submittal goes in depending on insurance (at my clinic). I got my date, but did not get the approval until I had my final surgical date (2 weeks before surgery). They told me that sometimes the insurance doesn't send confirmation until 7 days before. I received my confirmation about 10 days out. -
Need help with husbands post op eating
ms.sss replied to HappyCruiser's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Often people (regardless of gender) who don’t ask for help won’t be open to unsolicited advice, however well-meaning it is provided. Ongoing unsolicited advice, especially when all previous advice has already been ignored, can be construed as “nagging”. Which is unpleasant for everyone involved. You have voiced your loving concern. He has chosen to do his own thing. If he was a child or some other type of dependent, one could make a case to further persist and/or intervene. But he is a grown man and can make decisions on his own. Yes, he *may* have undesirable effects from his choices (but so far so good, though, I understand?). And his outcome, however good or bad will be his, and his alone. Sometimes the best way learn something is to learn it yourself. And this is not to say that he is destined to hurt himself. Maybe the lesson to be learned is that what he’s doing is fine for HIS body. And then again, maybe its not. Only he (and his body) can say. That said, i agree that bacon and eggs at 2 weeks post op is not part of the food transition plan than even i was given. But he seemed to have tolerated it well and he would not be the first person i’ve heard/read who did not follow the plan and came out unscathed (health-wise, at least…) Good Luck! ❤️ -
September surgery buddies!!
nymisc replied to Slwhurst's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hit the three-week stall at 2 weeks. Mainly because my body was taking Water back in after being dehydrated and recovering. I hit 3 weeks yesterday and the scale is going down again. I started weighing myself every day, but I am learning to let go and not do that every day. I think I am going to weight once or twice a week at specific times of day. I went crazy worried that this wasn't going to work, but it is and I am so glad I had the surgery. -
September surgery buddies!!
SleeveMeToIt replied to Slwhurst's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh girl, I'm right there with you. It's a total mind f*ck. I tell myself I won't weigh. Then I weigh. I hit the dreaded 3 week stall and am frustrated. I'm about to put my scale in a closet in another room to take away the fact that it's staring at me in the bathroom every morning. I think we are just so anxious to be further along in the journey, with the results to show for it. For me - I also think there is a bit of amazement that it is working and fear when the scale doesn't move that maybe it's NOT working. I just need to chill, trust the process and focus on what I can control. Water, protein, vitamins and nutrition in general, and movement.
