I'm in so much discomft & nausea that I'm miserable! I should have stayed fat because this is something I would never do again!! I'm very sore & very bloated! Gas Pains are outta this world!!!! Dr Almanza & his staff are excellent!!!

Jinjin I don't think there could be a worst lol it's only UP from here!! Pain, Gas, & Diarrhea!!! It hurts really bad to swallow liquids. I just wanna get all the way back to normal if I'll ever be that way again lol

June Sleevers Master List
DivaDee84 replied to JackieOMonroe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Great Job!!!! -
It's personal preference...do your homework on each procedure and make your decision...look at risk involved & complication rates as well as long term effects.

hospital wants out of pocket amount up front
DivaDee84 replied to Jensharley's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a day surgery registrar at a hospital and the reason why the money is collected up front is because the surgery is an elective procedure. If it was an emergency you wouldn't have to pay up front no matter what your benefits said. Good Luck! -
Surgery Canceled - High triglycerides
DivaDee84 replied to CodenameSpivey's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello! Your PCP has nothing to do with your surgery. You don't even need to consult or get a clear from her or him. Your bariatric surgeon will & should make all the decisions...don't postpone your surgery because of that because the surgery will benefit you in the long run. Call your bariatric surgeon and see what they have to say about it. -
Yea I French tips on my nails & my toes and my dr said it's fine...might wanna ask if clear to pale pink is ok if you really want to wear polish..

Did I just blow it??
DivaDee84 replied to DivaDee84's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks ya'll!!! It's just soooo hard...I was going with one doctor in Mexico and got approved and he told me to do a 10 day diet pre-op....I didn't go with him b/c I found my current dr due to financial reasons...well he placed me on a 30 day pre-op diet...I just don't get all the differences... -
Ughhhhh I'm so tired of broth!!!! I really wish I could have a protein shake and I really don't like them but I want one just cause I can't have it...OMG 19 more days left of clear liquids and I don't think I'll make it!!!!! Helpppppppp!!!!!!!!
