    February Surgery dates

    Hi, my surgery is 2/2 and I have started my 2 week liquid diet, all I can have is 3 to 5 shakes a day, water, tea or coffee. The only shakes I have liked so far are the premier protein. So far so good.
  3. Hello, I was wondering if anyone had trouble with their medications being absorbed or being to strong of a dose or anything since your surgery. I take some hypothyroid and antidepressants. Any information you have is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your response
  4. What vitamins are you using durning your pre op and post op diets? I just ordered vitamin patches because I was thinking the less pills I have to try to swallow the better. Thank you for your replies

    The board says I am having lap band but I am having the gastric sleeve. When I started researching way back when, I was going to have lab band

    February 2017 Sleevers

    Hi. I am having surgery on February 2 in Tennessee, and can hardly wait.
  7. Hello, I was wondering if anyone has used Dr Westmoreland from Tn for their sleeve surgery? I will be a self pay patient and I was researching this doctor and I wanted to see if any of you had any input. Thank you very much!

    only want to lose 50 lbs...

    Hi, this is what I was asking in another post. I also don't have 100# to lose. I need to lose 75# and my BMI is 36. I want lap band and I am afraid BCBS IL might not cover it. But I am obease!!! and want to take care of myself and get rid of the weight. Good luck to you. I hope we are both able to get the surgery.

    Thank you for the reply. I was worried because I read that you needed a bmi of 40 and be 100 pounds over weight. At 205, I would need to lose about 75# and my BMI is only 36 not 40.
  14. Hi, I am 39 yrs old. I am 5'3 and weigh 205, so my BMI is 37. I have hyopthyroidism and high lipids. I have a family history of heart disease. My mother is bed ridden from being so morbidly obease. She has not gotten out of bed in over a year. She needs a caregiver to put her on a bed pan, give her baths and do everything for her. My grand parents were very obease. My siblings are also very over weight. I want to take care of this now before it gets anymore out of control. My sisters are 4 and 5 years older then me and I see where I am headed. I am so ready to take control but I know I need help. I have done weight watchers, nuti system, diet pills....I have BCBS of IL. I looked in the guide book and it doesn't say that it is not covered but it doesn't say that it is. I am going to call them tomorrow morning. What do you think? do I have a shot of getting the surgery covered? Thank you for listening to me.
