I am 21 days post op and I don’t want to eat or drink anything. I look at my protein shakes and I just want to barf. I make myself drink water but that is a struggle. I have been sucking on Gerber graduates. I know I need to drink my protein but I can’t with out throwing up. Has anyone else gone through this?

Hi I have six day until my surgery and I am supper excited. I do have one concern. I have to drink a bottle of Magnesia Citrate the day before. I bought the cherry one. Can any one tell me how it tastes and how fast does it work? Any pointers or suggestions would be great!

This is what happened to me. I have Blue Shield HSA ( Health Saving Account) I have had this insurance for 5 years now. My out of pocket was $5,500 deductable. (Once I pay deductable my family I medical and prescriptions are free for the rest of the year) was banded 6/09 six months into it I am convinced my band had slipped. It took me a year to convince my doctor that something was wrong. He thought I was over eating. He finally realized it did slip but he was not a preferred provider with my insurance any more. I was going to have to pay $7,000 for him to remove it convert it to the sleeve. I could not afford that and he was not offering me a payment plain. It took me 6 more months to find a doctor to remove my band. The doctor removed my band 6/11 (it cost me another $5,500) and he told me because it had slipped and was in that position for so long I had to give my stomach to heal. He told me to come back in to months. So I am thinking cool at least I wont have to pay my deductable again. 8/11 I go back and the doctor would not even see me. His insurance biller cut me off and said that I don’t qualify for it any more because my BMI was to low now and I didn’t have my other health problems any more. I told them that it was not my choice to remove the band it was medically necessary. I was then told to come back when my BMI was high enough. I go back 10/11 my BMI was 35 but I didn’t have two other health problems any more. I am devastated at this point. So I call my insurance company crying my eyes out and I told them everything that was going on. I was told that the doctor need to call and tell them that I was medically necessary to have it removed for me to get my authorization approved and I could bypass the 6 month consultation with the detestation. I went back to the doctors’ office they still would not let me see the doctor and his insurance person said she never head of anything like that before and she would not call. So I finally found another doctor to work with me and I explained everything to him. I got my approval letter first time out and my surgery is in 7 days. The bad side to this is that I gained ALL my weight back and then some, my health problems are back and I have to pay another $5,500
