Ohhhh noooo this is madness

I hope it's quick.

Yes!! Seran wrap works the best. U can walk around the house and it just melts it away. Like a mid section sauna. Lol

What can I use if I have allergy to fake sugar??? I throw up get migraines and my stomach kills me.

Ok good to know I'm not alone.... What protein shakes did you use?

Yes. ;(

I was going to get the band till my Dr. Told me straight out not to do it that the sleeve would work better for me. So now I have BCBS *** IL and was wondering if anyone else has the same and can tell me what to expect. I have already done the 6month diet documented by my dr. I have met with my bariatric surgeon now I'm waiting. Can you give me time frames of what you went through from the time you met the dr till surgery date!?!? Plz any info would help

I was looking for help... My dr. Says I have sleep apnea and I don't use that machine. I can't sleep or breathe with that dang mask on my face so fast forward 4 yrs now I'm trying to get approved for the sleeve and they are saying I have to have another sleep study done and it can take an additional 3-4 weeks just to get this done!!!!!!!! I am so freakn frustrated. Can any of you who have sleep apnea tell me how this effected your approval process? Thanks

Thanks Ana

Almost 8 of them!! Lol I just want to be done jumping through these hoops like a circus poodle! !

Today I got the check list letter from my bariatric office and made most of my appointments for may I hope everything goes smoothly. :[

I hope TX works the same as IL bcbs.... have you had surgery how did it go?

Hi I am new to the forum and I know my Dr. Said 3weeks of post surgery heal time. I would like to here how soon some of you were up and about and how quickly you were able to return to work? Thanks Sa'

Hello everyone I am new here and I just went to see my surgeon yesterday and was all set to do the lap band but then he comes in and says he doesn't think it would be the best choice. He said the sleeve or gastric bypass is the option I should look into. I am now sooo confused can some of uou please tell me what you think of the sleeve. Thanks for your time

Me too... you went through a lot. I'm glad you are here to share your story with me

I will go read it now. Thanks for your help

Thanks. You guys are helping me a lot!

I am apart of the lap band forum and if you try to bring up anything other than the lap band they chew u up and spit u out. Lol. But I have done my lap band research and now the sleeve but I wanted to hear from real people and what they think so thank you for responding

Thanks! ! I have never seen a dr. So opposed to doing it but he did make it clear if I really wanted it he would do it but if I was his daughter he wouldn't allow he to get it. That is why I came here to ask.

Thanks I will...
