Anyone who had surgery or will be having surgery with Dr. Posner .... Come to the support group at BGH on Wednesday Nov 20th at 5:30pm. It's very helpful!

Good news finally! My angst about this process have (hopefully) come to an end...

I got the news I was approved today! **happy dance****happy dance****happy dance** :lol:

Sorry I've had a little negativity before - just dealing with so much medical nonsense for the past few years; medical red tape is sooo frustrating to get through.

Anyway I'm stoked! Nervous and anxious now too. Awaiting calls/letters for the date and other pre-op stuff now. Maybe this will be a nice Xmas present for me! :D

Hello Buffalo people! Is anyone here still active?

Still here, did you get a surgery date yet?? Last time we heard from you it sounded like your insurance finally approved it?

Oh yes! I guess I forgot to add that, woops ;)

I am going in 12/17, I start the LRD tomorrow... Armed with all the shakes, other Protein mixes, and sugar-free Jellos I could conjure up. I've done a couple days of it already this week and oh boy it's not going to be easy.

Two things I tried and really like are the Syntrax Nectars and Muscle Milk (Cytosport) whey isolate Fruit Drinks (the Cytosport is comparable to Isopure Zero Carb, but tastes WAY better and a little cheaper). These will help break up the thick milky shakes routine I hope. Game on... Wish me luck!

Hey Queen City!

Just saw your post for your approval!! Great news! Hope your pre-op diet is going well! Good luck with your surgery!! My best advice is to take care of yourself and follow the guidelines you've learned as best you can after surgery. Be prepared for some discomfort after surgery but understand most of the hardship will be a distant memory in a few short months! Also I felt the nurses were great at sisters they took great care of me! Don't be afraid to tell them what you need! Also the patch for nausea worked wonders for me! I highly recommend you tell the anesthesiologist that pain Meds make you nauseous! And don't take the patch off! You can keep in on for 3-5 days!

Good luck!

~Mary

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
