Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you.

sorry you are having to hear this. People can be so thoughtless.

Seems the insurance company wants more medical reasons for the revision. My silly husband just said, drink a carbonated beverage and cause it kick up a fuss. But he has no idea how much pain would be involved. This road may be even longer to hoe then i expected. Not giving up.

big smiles for you. I know right now you are doing a happy dance. so happy for you

This sounds like what i went through in the middle of the night. Keep in mind I am have not had surgery yet. But I am diabetic, Woke up at 3 in the morning sweating profusely couldn't lift myself out of bed, woke hubby had him get my glucose meter. my blood sugar was 56, my husband poured orange juice down my throat, came up to 69 then he fed me some ice ceam then it was 114. When i got up this morning it was 297. I felt the dirahea and nauseu this morning and feel like I have been ran over by a truck. So your symptoms do sound like low blood sugar. After surgery I have been wondering will treating a low blood sugar cause me to dump and then the process of yuck start all over.

I know your emotions are all over the place, Deep breaths. You will do great. If you can go do something special for yourself, like a mani pedi or your hair trimmed. Maybe get a good book to read over the weekend or finish up some craft you have started. Anything to make the time go by. Visit here often and let us encourage you and support you. Ask a million questions. Hugs to you.

your doing great, Do just like your Doc said and Luvlife. Sip, walk and rest. And keep comming here for assurance and support. Gentle hugs to you.

I was banded seven years ago. And yes that is what it is like, "sticking your toe in the water" I was afraid of doing anything more invasive or "drastic" as I thought at the time. But I should have went the rny route then and saved myself seven years of up and down weight, still all the comorbities I had and all worse now. I don't have any horror story to say about the band, but it just was either too tight, too loose, and between me and it we just didn't do what we should do. I have lost and gained the same 30 to 40 pounds, and now at my heaviest and sickest. I am waiting for insurance approval to revise from the band to rny. Again, I could have been living life and enjoying health benefits if I had just "jumped all the way in" I hope you have that option.

Hope today is better than yesterday. You will get there. be kind to yourself and let your body heal.. stay hydrated, sip sip sip, walk walk walk and then rest. Everyday will be better and then one day you will think what the heck i felt so much better yesterday and have a kinda yuck day, and the next you will start feeling better again. It is kinda this way with any surgery and you have just had some major surgery. Sending you positive thoughts and prayers for healing.

awesome. what a nice mommy too. she gets it doesn't she

glad your home and all went good, Been thinking about you all week. Hope you have a restful day and get your fluids in. Praying for healing and comfort.

I have been putting the unflavored protein powder in it and stirring really well and it is not noticeable to me.

I believe it has 7 gr of sugar. Is this too much. For lunch I had one of these with a tablespoon of sugar free fat free vanilla pudding powder and it was soooooo good. I am pre op, nursing a pulled tooth. But I wondered if that is too much sugar for post op. just checked to box 80 calories 0 fat 9 carbs 7 g sugar and 12g of protein this was the vanilla 5.3 ounces

awesome. Sounds very encouraging for those pre op's like me. Doing great. keep on doing what you are doing cause it is working.

Wow you really look nice. You are such a beautiful person. That dress really looks nice on you. Have fun at the wedding. I know you are going to get oodles of compliments.

Doing a Happy Dance for you. What an awesome surprised. Yep think it is time for some new scales. Smiling for you.

Personal Summers I love it. Personal Winters sounds appropriate too.

Prayers being said for you for comfort. A life taken way to soon.

words to live by for sure thanks for sharing

going to have hubby look for this this evening, Had a tooth pulled today so I think I might be living on yogurt for a couple of days.

I am so glad you are home. SIP, rest, walk Sip, rest and walk some more. The walking will help not only the surgery but the lungs too. Praying for continued healing and comfort. Bless your heart. This too shall pass.

awesome news. And that is kinda at warp speed. But so glad you didn't have to wait forever. Stick with us we will help the time pass and you will be post op before you know it. Hugs to you,

fingers crossed. you are almost there. i know how excited you must feel. sending you positive thoughts and big hugs..

the yogurt i have been eating pre op (and due to an abscessed tooth which was pulled today) is called carb master. it is only available at Krogers or maybe Ralphs if you have one of those. Low fat, low carb, low sugar I have been adding about a teaspoon and a half of sugar free pudding mix and a scoop of unflavored protein powder and eating this two or three times a day. Good source of protein and feels like you are eating some pretty fancy desert. not horribly sweet though. I will probably hate it after surgery, but right now it is my best friend. Especially with this tooth problem. You could probably do the same with the greek yogurt to tame some of the tartness,

my heart breaks for how i know you are feeling right now. I wish I knew what to say or how to help. What a blow what a huge disappointment. I am soooo sorry. Praying that there will still be a way.
