    I have Anthem too. I had no requirements. My first appointment was in January and I was sleeved march 31. Probably would have been sooner but the weather caused some appointments to be rescheduled.

    Just got some bariatric fusion in the mail today.

    Anyone feel like this?

    Justicenga replied to CrissyRing77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    This looks so good to me right now.

    Weird Post Op Question

    I'm in the full liquid stage and when I tell you I'm sick of the sweetness from protein shakes I mean it!!!!

    April sleevers.

    Justicenga replied to itsjustdaisy's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    I was sleeved last week and it was a breeze. From the time I started this process until now seemed to really fly by. I didn't even have time to be nervous. Just relax. Get your gas-x strips ready!

    Congratulations! It will be here before you know it.

    I went to the doctor today to get my drain removed (sleeved 3/31). I had a hiatal hernia repaired during surgery. I was told to walk walk walk and to also incorporate resistance bands and 5lb weights. I think I'll go to the gym tomorrow. I'm tired of sitting on the couch all day.

    Thanks but no thanks. That doesn't sound appealing to me at all.

    Lmao Lisa. Taco is definitely better than ass.

    Let us know how it goes. I'm not having any pain. I HATE soup/broth so that's no help either. I'm gonna try the Greek yogurt thing (even though I hate it too).

    Nail polish

    Justicenga replied to TrueNorthStrong's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I was told that as long as the polish on your nails isn't super dark then you're fine.

    I started full liquids today. I'm soooooo sick of all things sweet. Problem is I don't like broth or soup. Never have.

    Breaded shrimp. They were so nasty! Now I'm awake and nauseous!

    Yay! My Insurance Approved Me!

    Congratulations. It won't be long now!

    I have hypothyroid and pros. I'm insulin resistant as well. I was sleeved 3/31. My tsh levels have been pretty stable until about a month before surgery. It shot up to 11. I'm not sure when it has ever been so high. I could tell that it came down though because of the way I was feeling.
  18. Justicenga
    I'm jealous that you all are getting in your protein. I was sleeved 3/31 and I'm just trying to get in my fluid. I'll tackle protein next week.

    packing my bag

    Justicenga replied to jdillon's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was only at the surgery center for a few hours. Please make sure you have Chapstick and gas x. They gave me 3 gas x while I was there but I was ready for another on the way home. I wasn't alert enough to know that my iPad and phone were there.
  20. Justicenga
    I was sleeved on the 31st and had a hiatal hernia. As long as I could stay awake walking was good. The first few days if I had beer laying down for awhile and then tried to walk I could feel it. Not really painful but annoying. Hope you feel better soon.

    I just had a dream that i ate...

    Justicenga replied to Justicenga's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Right! They weren't even good. If I had to eat breaded shrimp preop those aren't even the ones I would have chosen.

    African American Sleevers

    Justicenga replied to ATLGirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Hello all. I was sleeved 3/31/14. All is well so far with the exception of so pain caused by the repair of a hiatal hernia. Hopefully that will subside soon. I so excited about what is in store for me. As far as hair, I'm natural and have been for almost 6 years. Besides VSG, my husband and son,the best decision of my life.

    I'm in Atlanta.
  24. Justicenga
    Yes I'm only 4 days post op but I figure I won't be able to wear these sweaters and corduroys next year so why not pack them up. I have lots of time on my hands right now. It has been in the upper 70s and low 80s this week so winter is a wrap. Pack it up and move it out!

    I had surgery 3/31. All was good until I started having this pain that I assumed was gas. It floats around the left side of my body (shoulder and neck). When I lay down it feels like I'm being choked. I have to move around to get it in the right place. Sometimes it makes me cough which usually causes me to dry heave (except last night, some yellow stuff came out). If I could just get rid of this pain I would be good. Any thoughts?
