I have never done a sleep studie, but I imagine I would have trouble cause I have problems sleeping in strange places. Does your insurance require a sleep study or your doctor?

Had my first fill today. Just ate half a ravioli and I am full!!!!!!! He put in 4cc's. Doc said it won't last long though so my next fill is in two weeks.
-
Yes, I think it is still a good decision. I get my first fill on thursday. Then the fun really starts

I am back from florida. I had a great time with only one stuck episode, it was with bacon, I had to go to the restroom and it came up. other then that I had a great time and wish I was sent to Florida for work more often

food does get stuck sometimes, but i just have to walk around a bit, burp a little, and keep swallowing. It goes down eventualy. the longest has been about ten min

sorry, I have nothing new to report. I am going to florida for work on sat and won't be back till the next sat. I should get my first fill some time that week. I'm excited because i am hungery all the time and have no restriction.

Seriously considering Lap Band

every insurance is different. Mine for example didn't require 6 months of diet before hand. Definitly check with your insurance first or go to the seminar about the surgery and let the nurses help you. My nurses were very knowledgable about which insurances expect what and if they didn't know the can call them and do the communication for you. -
I still have a little pain too. Mostly it is just tenderness at the port site, but if I bend over and over again my whole side starts to hurt. My doctor didn't have any concerns when I saw him on thursday. I find the pain completely tolerable.

Dr called me and "slightly" changed my diet

I keep feeling a slight tightness in my esophagas so I am not ready to try noodles yet even though I am starving. I swear my stomach rumbled for a whole min yesterday. It also hurts to burp. I don't think i am getting the Protein I need though. I have been trying to drink my atkins drinks and milk with Protein powder as much as I can. -
Thursday is My Day!

Yes, u can have cream soups for liquid diet. they do have to be strained though to get the chunks out. But for the first two days they have to be Clear liquids, like apple juice. good luck on thursday! -
Exercise while being injured
KristiAnn25 replied to bnwalker23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How about lifting 5 lbs weights. also I heard of a show called sit and be fit. I think it is for the elderly, but at least it will keep your range of motion up. -
I do not have a relationship right now. One of my goals is to not let my new weight decide who I date. It is going to be hard for me to stop thinking "is he only with me because I am thin now"? or "would he have dated me when i was large"? This is something I guess I will figure out in time.

Hungry in Jersey

I just had the surgery, and I am hungery all the time. I get my first fill in a month, then i don't think i will be that hungery all the time. (i hope) I started on full liquids today and I'am not as hungery as i was on just Clear Liquids. My advice is to go look at the liquid stage recipies on here. there are a lot of recipies to help curve cravings and make you feel satisfied. Also I think the liquid requirment is also a training tool to try to teach us that we don't need to stuff our selfs silly. Although sometimes I think I will miss doing that. -
Hello, brand new! I'm having surgery in two weeks!
KristiAnn25 replied to Yasuna's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Today is a lot better. Yesterday i couldn't get out of bed or some chairs by myself. I have been staying at my mothers house. Today I can get out of bed and chairs, but slowly. The pain in my neck and shoulders have significatly reduced. Walking around didn't and doesn't bother me. Its the bending over that hurts. When going to the bathroom it was just the sitting down that hurt, everything else went fine. -
I agree, nobody understands. Everyone has there 2 cents. And I find my body to be personal and is no one elses buisness. I also have a friend who is getting the gastric bypass and she doesnt understand that it is too different surgerys. She keeps treating me like i don't kow anything, even before i got the surgery. Then she went and blabed to her friends and family that i was getting it. That is why I only told a few select people. And then my mom had to go and blab to the extended family. and she doesnt think she did anything wrong. So i have been avoiding phone calls from her side of the family and my friend. I don't need there opinons. The only opinons that matter are mine and my doctor. I think I will get over it eventualy but i will probable have to snap at a few people first.
