KAATNS replied to Spoiledguti86's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would recommend calling your doctor. -
Thoughts of fear - how did you talk yourself out of them?
KAATNS replied to TheDuchess's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My biggest fear was NOT getting the help I needed. For me, the rewards outweigh the risk and I find most of my support right here on this site. -
One word. Yes.

Hello and welcome! From my experience in the healthcare industry, if an insurance company doesn't cover the surgery, it doesn't matter who writes a letter on your behalf regardless of the condition. Is the surgery specifically excluded or did you not qualify? There is a difference. Good luck to you!

I'm happy with my choice so far. Although there have been some days that I could have thrown in the towel, I'm not going to because this is WORTH IT to me and I'm willing to work through the bad days to reach my goal. Trust me, this is NOT easy and sometimes its just plain hard work, but so worth it. I'm so grateful for the friends I've made here that encourage me along the way as well. Best wishes on your journey.

will my brain ever catch up?
KAATNS replied to kristinc1985's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
It is a hard thing to wrap my head around too. I love being able to shop in the ladies department instead of the plus sizes. So many more options! -
What do YOU want to do?

Oh I would love to do that! Congrats to you!

You make me smile CG!

I work for a healthcare system and we require pre-payment for elective procedures. Does your doctor have someone in their office that handles surgery scheduling or billing that you could call?
-
Congrats! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Wow! Great job!

Happy for you guys!

This reminded me of a blog I follow www.mamalaughlin.com - lots of motivation and inspiration over there. Fun reading.

Hi Pinky- looks like we use the same doctor. I would say get back in there ASAP so they can help you. You've got a great team there. Best wishes to you!

It's not your fault- you're not making him eat the food. Maybe cook smaller portions?

I have a million dumb questions
KAATNS replied to colorado_chick's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
All great questions....your surgical team should explain everything step-by-step until you're asleep. Feel free to ask them any questions- they are there for you. Typically the anesthesiologist will come in and speak with you before you go to the OR as well. Just relax and everything will be fine. Congratulations on starting your journey. -
Welcome Sarah! Glad you're here.

gurgling /shifting stomach????
KAATNS replied to GinaT228's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The gurgling you are experiencing is totally normal. You will hear all sorts of noises from your tummy as you heal and after eating & drinking. If it becomes painful, you should contact your doctor but it sounds normal to me. -
Amazing!!
-
Do they offer any classes such as Zumba, spinning or yoga? Maybe find a gym buddy or friend to go with you. I hate going by myself.

A small chili at Wendy's fills me up. Sometimes I get a half salad to go with it and I'm never able to finish it.
