    Question for 2-3 year sleevers

    azquilter92 replied to Dee-Texas's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I still take nsaids. Take 2 alleve everyday,like you I have arthritis and Tylenol doesn't cut it. I told my surgeon, he asked if I was having any problems after taking them and I said no,because im not. I do make sure I take them with food. But thats me. I did stop taking them 2 Weeks before surgery as instructed,and then went almost a month before starting them up again.

    A Little Embarrasing...implant - What Size?

    azquilter92 replied to BlueOctoberGirl's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

    According to the utube video,they aren't approved yet by the FDA,but dont know how old that video is. Any patient getting the gummy bear implants had to agree to be in a 10 year study to report life with the implants

    Why dont I have a pre-opp diet?

    azquilter92 replied to tarry1124's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I didnt have a preop diet either,Dr said the reason some drs do it is to lose some of the fat around the liver before surgery. He said it really isnt necessary,the surgeons think it makes it easier for them during surgery,not to have to move the fat around,but he said its not difficult.thats why hr doesnt require it

    The sleeve is the first part of the the gastric bypass or RNY surgery. Drs usually do the sleeve part first,then the rerouting of the intestines. Patients would usually return for the second part of the surgery a few months later. Drs found that the first part of the process,the sleeve, was having such good results that they made it a stand alone surgery,so another option for anyone thinking of wls

    Is. Dr. Aceves really THAT great?

    azquilter92 replied to Roudoudou's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    I take offense to the statement that drs here in tbe us,dont care,or dont spend time with their patients. I love my surgeon. I spent one nite in the hospital,so roughly 24 Hrs. He came and saw me twice,and had all kinds of nurses checking up on me. A very positive experience. Before my surgery I had a concern on a Saturday,called his service,he git back to me within 20 min,even talked to the office mgr on a sat.

    Protein Bars

    azquilter92 replied to dadici's topic in Food and Nutrition

    My surgeon recommends one whrte the ratio of protein to calories is like 10to1 So if it has 20 grams of protein it should only have 200 calories There are a few that fit this formula,and some from the same.maker that are way out of line,so read the labels. And if you follow that formula you usually dont have to be concerned.with sugars or carbs,because they are usually low

    I took 2 Weeks,im glad I did,I have a somewhat physical job and was sore and tired,my first few days. I told a few people at work only because they wouldnt be able to get ahold of me,the one nite I spent in the hospital. I used vacation time as opposed to sick time
