Sorry you went through this, but everyone is different with surgery stages. Ive been lucky to not have any problems at all, thank god! I m almost 4 weeks out and baked some pork chops , i chewed and chewed and luckily it went down very well. I agree though listen to your doctor. This surgery is all about trial and error because everyone is different.

Hi everyone , just wondering which kind of scale do you use ? My manual scale says in 5 pounds less than my digital one. Could this be true?

Hi , i just had surgey on 1-6-2011 and im new to the forum. Looking forward to chatting with you who are also post op. My surgery went great. still sore but love seeing the scale move downward. Can't wait til i can start working out again and toning.

Congrats on your weight loss!

Hi i won an appeal with Anthem BCBS but not because of BMI, Oh thats a hard one but if you have other health reasons as to why then i suggest you fight to get what you want. My denial was investiongational although i appealed it took them 30 days to overturn the denial and approve my sleeve. Good luck to you

I finally got my date January 6,2011 , its just 2 weeks away to start my new journey!! Im so excited and hoping all goes wekk with surgery even though im no stranger to surgery after 2 c sections, gall bladder, 3 hernia's repaired. Im looking forward to sharing my experience with you all soon. My surgeon only requires a 2 day pre op diet of liquids which is great to hear especially after seeing that some require 2 weeks of liquids. Wish me luck

I'm not in Cali but ihave Anthem BCBS of California and was approved right away.

First Congrats to you and your fiance on your surgery, Second , i don't know if you have ever heard of the 2 week stall very common after WLS, your bodies are still healing and needs to adjust to your new tool. Im sure once everything will be ok. Good luck to the both of you and keep me updated

Hi there, im new also and im waiting on my date for my band any day now. Sorry to hear that your husband isnt more supportive of your band but im sure he'll come around too. I'm really looling forward to making new friends here on my journey. Good luck to you
