8 Days Post Op - Oh My Gas
ElleG replied to wildrose1966's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The shoulder will eventually get better but it will be a while. Hang in there! My doc says there is a nerve that is affected in the surgery that causes the pain. Now one year out I will get the pain for a minute or two if I eat to much. -
Congrats! On your way to a new life.

Had My Consultation And Waiting To See If Insurance Approves!
ElleG replied to SuzyMarie's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good luck! Fingers crossed for u! -
You need to walk. Get into an hourly couple hour routine. Walking around the house not the block . Rest take your pain meds so your comfortable. I think you need to "go" but see how it plays out give yourself a few days if nothing call the doc you don't want a stomach ache from that too. Good luck!

Agreed! I'm an emotional eater too but after I eat it I feel horrible for two reasons rather than dealing with the one. Your not alone! Good luck

After 5 Years Of Debate, Finally Going To Go Through With It
ElleG replied to JennBean's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Wishing you lots of luck! -
Unjury tastes great and so does Jay Robb. He is more expensive but good. A lot of the stores and online you can order sample packets to try them. Start there. I mix with milk or crystal light. Milk keeps me satisfied longer because of the extra calories. Good Luck

I had my surgery approved and paid $65 to see a nutritionist. The insurance would not cover it. My surgery was $40k I had a heart issue after and had to stay a extra day in the hospital. I figure I could cover the $65 since they paid that. Don't be discouraged. Good luck to you!

Maybe your body has to get use to the diet. When my trainer works me really hard I get light headed some times. It gets better as I get stronger but eating before I see him really helps. Good Luck!

Has anyone thought about switching from the band to a different weight loss surgery / method? Has the band been determined to be ineffective for anyone?

Go check your benefits log into the online site or find the contract to see what percentage they cover. Did you get anything in writing?

The itching drove me crazy it's normal your healing. Hang in there Thankfully I have no experience with slipping so I can't offer much there. Good luck
