Anyone from Minnesota
Justkeepswimming37 replied to krtrebie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am going to PNMC in SLP as well. I work in Edina and live in New Hope. I am just starting all my testing next week. I have BCBS of MN. How long did it take for insurance approval? I have Anthem through BCBS and my approval came in less than 1 week. -

I had Svendson and loved him! I chose first available because I wanted it done sooner rather than later. I had also heard he had a pretty good sense of humor and that is true. It's something I appreciate. Would highly recommend him to anyone. I was sleeved October 22, 2013. I'm down 84 pounds as of this morning. Love Candace my nurse, and most of the nuts are excellent too. I've had a great experience at PN, and I've been giving my 110% effort each and every step of the way. I only wish I had had it done sooner. I also went through Park Nicollet and it's been a super positive experience. Dr. Jones did my surgery and I loved him. I've heard great things about both surgeons though. I'm 7 months post surgery and down 98 since surgery, 116 since my first program visit in March 2013. I agree with gomekast, wish I had done it sooner. -

Clothes!

Did you have any luck with Poshmark? I cleaned out my closet and am not sure if I should donate it all or try some of the items on Poshmark. Was it worth the time posting them or should I donate? -

41 lbs is awesome! You're doing great! I'm right with you though, it's hard seeing all the speedy losers. -

I finally broke my stall. Whew, almost 3 weeks of doing nothing or gaining a couple of lbs, I finally saw the scale move! During the stall I was up a few lbs. and now this morning I was down, actually down .8 from my lowest prior to the stall. I am hoping I will keep losing now. How's everyone else doing? -

Thanks for the nice words. I wish you the best too. It's so nice to have every bodies support. I think this group of 7/30 sleevers is the greatest. -

Justkeepswimming37 replied to Dawnyellow's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm experiencing my first stall and it bites! I knew it was coming and know it will pass but I am particularly pouty this morning as I hopped on the scale and am up almost 4 lbs. WTH! It was about 2 a couple of days ago and I was not expecting this. I feel a little bloated so I hope it's water weight. I am going to try to drink extra water, really watch what I'm eating and stay off the scale for a few days. It's hard for me, I've always wanted to self destruct when I've slowed in weight loss in the past. I already feel myself craving stuff I shouldn't have. It's way too early in the game for me to start playing these mind games with myself. Sleeve sisters send your strength my way. -

I can get my fingers around my wrists again! I also can no longer rest my laptop on my tummy. I have to say that the tummy desk is kind of missed. I will gladly trade it for a flat stomach though! -

I had Dorothy for my other visits and I'm sure you could ask to stay with her with her when you schedule. I'm doing well. I struggle some with eating. I just have no desire and nothing sounds good. Otherwise I'm doing great. I did not have a pain pump at the hospital. They have meds via IV and the later started me on liquid oxycodone. I was lucky and had minimal pain. I had some nausea but minimal pain. I'm sure you'll do great. -

I have also been experimenting. I have had hard boiled eggs, soups with chunks, non-pureed meat, saltines, melon and a few other items. I have been struggling with eating, no desire, nothing tastes good, so I really just needed to find stuff to eat. Thinner1Day said it best, listen to your sleeve. I find that I stop as soon as I start to feel full or uncomfortable. Also, eat slow! I had one incident that made me think about that more when eating. -

Almost there! I saw you met with Dorothy. I have had her too, liked her. She is very straight to the point and helpful. I go back Friday for my 1 month follow up but I'm not scheduled with her this time. -

I'm not eating much at all. I can only eat 1-2 oz and often struggle with that. I still have bouts of nausea so smells and thoughts of eating do not appeal to me. I'm starting to worry that this will be all I can take in.
