Relatively new; anyone have a child with autism?
smt216 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello! My daughter is 12 and has autism. She's non-verbal for the most part but she has some vocabulary. Part of my reasoning for having this surgery was to be able to be here for her. Getting healthy and active; that's my goal -
i was out a week but I was lucky that the holidays came right after so i had a few short weeks!

I can't keep any solids down either. If I eat anything it comes back. I'm drinking lots of Unjury strawberry sorbet and and isopure; and it takes me all day to get it in. I can handle broth too. I understand how you are feeling & hope it gets better for you soon

I can't wait either! I was hoping for 199 by 1/1/13....i still have 7 pounds to go but I'm not complaining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job to everyone!!!! -
I have United Health Care and I was told in April/May that I was covered for the lap band or the sleeve. The sleeve is what I wanted so I started my 6 month supervised diet that UHC required and got all the medical clearances for surgery that my surgeon required along with the NUT visit, the psy eval etc. I was finished up with everything in October and UHC promptly denied me....I couldn't believe it! I have pseudotumor cerebri and have basically had a constant migraine for about 10 years. The insurance company said that wasn't a co-morbidity. My surgeon had to call the insurance company and have the decision reversed.

Got sleeved 12/17, Husband deployed.

I agree with Decembersleever; you have your hands full! We've all looked at ourselves (pre-op) for our entire lives; it's going to take some time to get used to seeing LESS of us in the mirror. People tell me my face looks "so much thinner" and I still see the same ol me when I look in the mirrior. I think we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to look a certain way in a certain time. I'll bet you have lost tons of inches! And what do you mean you can't wait to start working out? I'll bet those kids have you hopping! You are doing great! Keep us updated! As a military brat; my hat is off to your husband and all those men and women keeping us safe! -
That's awesome!!!! My office has been eating junk food all Dec (i was sleeved on the 10th) and It's great not to even WANT to dive mouth first into all the candy, cookies, fudge, cheesecakes etc that have been delivered. I probably gained 5lbs each Dec just from that stuff....not this year! Thanks SLEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gotta tell you; my new favorite past time is watching people eat (like I used to) and then waiting for the food coma to hit them. I don't want to sound mean about it; but it is very interesting how you just see food totally different now. I'll bet you saved some SERIOUS cash not having to buy food for yourself at Disney; home of the $10 order of fries LOL! Congrats on your 45lb lost

They are do in next week, so I am eagerly waiting for their arrival.And I;m just going to have to break out some tie each day as "Mommy Time" it'd pilates for beginners so hopefully I won't kill myself LOL trying it out nest week!! -
I'm 17 days post-op and I can't tolerate anything remotely solid. And it's weird because I'm not hungry; I'd just like to stop drinking everything. I did finally get some popsicles yesterday and that was wonderful I was just wondering if anyone else has had or is having the same issue? No soft/mushy phase for me yet. Any thoughts and/or suggestions are welcome! Thanks!!
