congrats on your sleeve. sorry you are having trouble. i remember feeling the same as you about 2 weeks ago but it def does get better. if you are alot of discomfort i would call your Surgeon nurses line. if not just go back to the hospital. they should not have sent you home if you were experiencing this much pain. as for the dent. i have one too i think its kinda cool lol. i hope you feel better and please call them. better to be safe than sorry

thank you so much! honestly i was soooo sore and in pain the first 4 days that cig was never even on my mind. as i started healing and being able to move around much more my neighbor would come visit in and out and i would smell it but even that made me nauseous. but i dunno something in me just said oh let me get a few drags. then i thought about how horrible it could make me feel in the long run and totally ruin the healing process. i feel better and never cough. i can last longer on the elliptical now too!!

Hey my surgery went great 11 days post op today no regrets just trying to "work my sleeve" lol i am very happy i did this. Still cigarette free but had a few puffs 3 days ago and was reminded of y i stopped double ewwww lol Sent from my Samsung G2 using VST

i think it depends on your state. my medicaid covered it. they should cover all 3 bariatric surgeries as long as you qualify.

ok so i dont have that great of insight on this but i will try. lol i had a c section as well and my father tried to drill into my head to wear a belly band. i never did. my friend however did and she looks AMAZING. you could not even tell she had a baby at all and everything is tucked in so nicely. im only 1 week post op and im going to my brothers wedding in a few days so i have to get some spanx. which i plan to wear daily. i am going to buy 2 sizes down as well because i no longer have incision pain. well i do but its minimal. i think they help alot with keeping things in and formed lol. i only have one example of this working but hey why not try. i was watching those as seen on TV commercials and i wanna get the tummy tuck one. my friend swears by it as well. but i def have to push myself into some spanx this saturday in order for my dress to look decent lol

EVERYTHING SHE SAID lol.

ok so this kinda happened to me but not fully. there was a delay in submitting me because of the confusion of what surgery i wanted. the surgery date is tentative so it can be changed in the system. they should have no issues with still doing your surgery on that day esp because your surgeon probably does all 3. it really is just a matter of your info being resubmitted under a different authorization code. as long as your insurance covers the sleeve you should have no problem. based on your case your surgical coordinator should even be able 2 call insurance directly and have your case expedited you should be fine. i would not worry,. so...with that being said CONGRATS! lol

i was feeling the same way as you and went searching on youtube:) heres what i found. hope it helps.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndkZudte6J0&feature=plcp
