Geminidrive replied to Mastiff_mama's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I live alone and I came home.....I was just fine. Question, who is going to walk the dogs? -

Good discipline!!! Sometimes its good to be in these situations, we have to practice control. Good for you! -
Alcohol and 2 weeks post op!
Geminidrive replied to sarahzamudio1091's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ahhhh those silly concerns about alcohol, darn what were we thinking. LOL -
Fyre, I'm glad that you are ok, are you able to go back into the apartment or will you have to relocate until the building can be renovated?

I love shrimp and it was a staple during my soft stage, I just diced it up very fine and mixed it in with eggs or plain greek yogurt. You should be fine.

Congratulations! -
I haven't had any problems with nuts, but then again with the exception of butternut squash soup my stomach is cast iron.

Perhaps it’s a good thing for people considering this surgery to be scared, perhaps this will motivate those who are on the fence and ill-informed to do their due-diligence. It’s always important to know the good and the bad of any surgery. On this forum everyone should be allowed to share his/her gastric sleeve story no matter how scary or uneventful it may be.

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sure this has been a very difficult time for your sister and your family.

Trying to talk someone out of WLS?
Geminidrive replied to mezanne1401's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would not support her getting the surgery right now. She is young and she has the potential and tools to loose the weight on her own with your family's support. What I would suggest is that she find a weight loss program and also counseling first. -

Obviously you did not see the clip. She never said this was the easy way out, she said the surgery was a tool. -
Curious. Are there any MD's or surgeons that are members of this site or contribute to the forums? It would be nice to see responses from medical professionals, but I could also understand legally why they would not provide advise on a message board.
-
I did notice that someone identified himself as a physician joined the board yesterday, but only to share his personal story. Thanks.

Denied. Service Not Covered.

Starting an Exercise Program with a "bum" Knee
Geminidrive replied to Knitter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Aquasize is a very good alternative. Check your local YMCA. You might want to get gel shots (synviscone) or cotisone in the mean time if you haven't already. Good luck! -
Take HTCZ? Capsules?
Geminidrive replied to SkinnyInDisney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
" My doctor had suspended it post surgery bc it would cause dehydration." Your doctor knows best. Drink more Water and continue on your diet and exercise. This too shall pass. -
Starting to think this was a mistake!
Geminidrive replied to LadiWobs's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Why are you eating all the time? Figure out why you are eating (home alone, bored, stressed) and find something else positive to do instead of eating. Go for a walk. Read a book. Do some jumping jacks, anything but eat and join a support group. If you can't do it on your own get some help. It is too early to give in to defeat! -
Note all post-op instructions and keep your surgeons number available to call if needed. Be brave and embrace the new you. Good luck!

Work Rumors..... Ahhhhh
Geminidrive replied to lilpun75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Why so much hate for the person, did that person do something to you in the past? Can I ask you why you allow people that you work with that much power to anger you? "Why don't you keep your uneducated opinions to yourself you horrid witch." Personally, that would have been a perfect opportunity to educate the ill informed. -
Do you ever regret your surgery?
Geminidrive replied to Strangefruit's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
No regrets....... -
Work Rumors..... Ahhhhh
Geminidrive replied to lilpun75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Why do you care? If you aren't going to correct them and take away their power to annoy/bother you those "rumors" will continue to swirl around the office. You are giving them more power. Educate them, walk away and shut them up. -
I didn't think so, I am just concerned that posters are asking medical questions that some are responding with a diagnosis and providing questionable advice.

Do I really need to go to the ER...?
Geminidrive replied to Keepgoing247's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The time you spend writing this you should be in route to the hospital. C'mon, you already know the answer to your question. -
I would call the insurance company to verify that the correct CPT code was used.
