Well as you can see it's a touchy subject lol

Yes hang in there. You will get it done. I would keep calling them. I dont stop til they do what they are supposed to do.

Yes drinking every couple of minutes helps you to keep it going.

No why should I give everything away and get nothing in return. You know that saying why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free. Especially now in this day in time with 1 in 7 adults being HIV positive and 1 in 4 having STD's hell to the no. No way not even with three condoms on his you know what.

I dont know what wicking means but I wear spanx and they are very comfortable and hold you in well

Have you talked to your doctor?

I work on a surgical floor and we dont make people take wedding rings off. Only piercings and other jewelry. Its more common then you think for them to be covered up with bandaids.

I say as long as you can stuff it in some garments its all good. Your stomach is probably still having some gas. It seems to happen a lot. Hang in there.

Maybe if you up your protein to about 90 grams that might help. I think your getting too little protein in at this point.

You can take tuna or chicken salad. I love ocean cafe crab cakes. I would make sure you pack lunch the night before. Egg salad is good too. I am pretty much a vegan so I cant help much with meat choices.

Yes you are still stiched they just put it as a preventative

No the steri strips will stay on fairly well until they fall off themselves

Good for you

Not sure if anyone could or should answer this question. You are better off checking with your surgeon.

Some people are allowed to drink regular coffee. I was told never but that is my surgeon and they are all different. I would call and ask them.

and good luck on your decision

No my port does not show through my skin. I can feel it but I think you would have to become rail thin to even have it stick out that much. None of my fills ever hurt. More pressure then anything. Yes I think it will help for a lifetime I have only had two fills in three years Yes I lost some hair and still do three years post op but its nothing you can physically see. The only issue I have had is not being able to eat or tolerate meat. I have become a vegan but its all good I dont mind being a vegan

Snack foods are always easier to go down. Slider foods. You just have to try to learn to eat with your band. You're doing good on 20lbs.

Even in diets weight loss stalls. You just have to keep keeping on.

Well my husbands plan is BC/BS and they don't cover anything to do with any weight loss surgeries. I don't know the doctors office put the wrong code in. They have their own other obesity related crap like they will give 10% off Jenny Craig or off a fitness club but wont pay for weight loss surgery. I would file an appeal on the basis that you were preapproved and then make your doctor resubmit with the correct codes. Thank God I had different insurance when I had mine done. They paid 100% at that time.

I would call your surgeon to see why this is happening.

follow up care is important to sucess you have us but get back in tune with your doctor or weight loss center

Good for you congrats

I concur you should call your doctor. He will or his office will let you know what they consider full liquids. Hospitals vary on their diet menus.
