attn ladies...question about birth control
avilda replied to mommytoethan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just went a head and got an IUD about a month before my sleeve. I didn't want any "surprises". I have been very happy with the IUD and have no problems. -
The psych who talked to us at my seminar said that it doesn't matter what you did. What matters is what you did after you did what you did. In other words... what's done is done. Eat right for the rest of the day and tomorrow... and the next day. You ate the cup cake... let it go and move on. Good Luck

No since my first Dr. Visit... that is why I differentiated between starting date and surgery date, but either way a pound is a pound Woo hoo! Thanks for the thumbs up.

Do you have insurance that approved the sleeve?
avilda replied to karaserene1985's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have Aetna and they covered it.... was approved in just over 24 hours after submission. If your employer has chosen a plan that includes bariatric surgery that is half the battle. Good luck and keep us posted. -
Post Op questions - How long?
avilda replied to BandMomsRock's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i am 9 days out and can sleep on both sides.. .I am a side sleeper as well so this has been a God send. I was able to start getting in all my liquids yesterday finally. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress, -
My Dr says full liquids day 3-14. I am 8 days post op and I get that feeling if I drink too fast or take my drinks too close together. It helps when I slow down. Goods Luck

I am one week out and cannot wear the pants I wore to the hospital. My stomach feels swollen and distended... but is getting better. I went to my post op appt with my surgeon yesterday and he said it would go down a little each day and should be gone in the next week. I was able to sleep on my side last night... what a relief. Good luck and keep on sippin.:scared0:

Recommendations for band->sleeve revision in Dallas area?
avilda replied to Manatee's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
My Dr. was Manuel Castro at New Beginnings Surgical Group. I didn't have a revision, but I was VERY happy with the care I got from him and with his office. His prices seem to be competitive and he is very professional. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions. Good Luck! Av -

Home and feeling good. Sipping my water and walking. Still using pain meds and suffering a little nausea, but nothing unbearable. Thanks to all of you. -

Yes, Aetna is covering vsg... they are covering mine next week. Be sure to make sure it isn't an exclusion on your husband's policy.

Weight/diet tracker app for Itouch?
avilda replied to SParkle's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I use fatsecret and LOVE it!... It is a free ap and you can also access it online free. I highly recommend it. -
My surgeon's office handled it. I attended 3 group style meetings with the nut. and my seminar. That is all I had to do. You might call them and ask... but lots of plans are different. Good luck.

Mine doesen't... required 3 months.

I got my weight history from my gyn and that was sufficient. They kept track of it when I went for my yearly appointment so I had at least a yearly record. My insurance approved so .... it worked.
