Here is a wonderful ticker tutorial by LilMissDiva: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/13516-ticker-tutorial-for-vst-lbt-with-pictures/page__pid__153616#entry153616 -
Interesting, I wonder if they work. Normally, the hair loss is from the trauma of surgery and lack of protein. I wonder how these would help prevent or slow hair loss.

Oh wow, I am so sorry. I hope you fight this. Good luck! -
Lol, if you get any rest tonight I will be amazed and you will have to tell me your secret. Congrats! I bet you are so excited.
-
Aw, congrats. You story is so inspiring. Congrats on getting your sleeve revision approved, and OMG, you're son is so cute!
-
Just from being on the forum, I've seen it take anywhere from a day to two weeks and my surgeon tells me it could take a month. Hopefully, you will hear back soon. How long have you been waiting?
-
LOL, I think I would do the exact same thing. Congratulations, that is so awesome.

No problem, it is one of my favorite articles, and this forum is for sharing information that may help others on their journey. It pops up on here every so often.

Wow, your attitude is awesome. Congrats on losing so much weight already before surgery and getting your date. Welcome to the forum!

Insurance requires supervised diet?
wishes replied to Ready4aNewLife's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I definitely second bombardier's comment. Call your insurance and find out for yourself, you don't want to hear a denial for surgery just because you didn't know. -
After all the trauma, I am so glad to see a post like this. You are looking GREAT! Congrats on the amazing weight loss!
-
Well, here I am...

Wow, that is horrible. I am so glad you made it home okay. Thank you for sharing your experience that is definitely something to be mindful of.

Aw, is it even worth it if you are drinking an MGD 64? That is the most watered down beer ever.

Excitement and Impatience
wishes replied to funnylady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I personally called my insurance to verify my benefits and was then referred to a bariatric coordinator who also confirmed the requirements for surgery who then referred me to my nurse case manager who also verified the information. At this point, I am 100% sure they REALLY want the 6MSWL. Also, Novus Center who I work with as a part of Dr. Webb's (my surgeon) practice has also confirmed the information for me. -
Emergency Care for the Bariatric Surgery Patient
wishes posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know complications can occur with VSG, and as I was surfing through Andrea's blog at wlsvitagarten.com, I found her post about the "ASMBS ER Sheet" which she found on the ASMBS website. This seems to be an invaluable resource for ANYONE having ANY type of bariatric surgery. I have already printed out two copies myself, and I can't tell you how beneficial I found it.

Excitement and Impatience
wishes replied to funnylady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lol, I am in my pre-op 6MSWL, and I know my boyfriend and mother are both sick of hearing about it already. And I even still have three months to go before I can get approval! I just come here and read through the postings and talk with other pre-sleevers, and I get to talk about it as much as I want. I mean, everyone here is on the same journey. -
That is amazing. Congrats, you are doing so great.
