    Alcohol and the Social Drinker

    Kking1205 replied to Denise73's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I was a social drinker also...I liked beer and wine. I stopped drinking beer because of the carbonation. Wine however I have tried. I am not a fan anymore. I can drink about a glass and I have the worse hangover. Not worth it anymore. I just order water and put my crystal light in it.

    I have federal bcbs basic...they made me pay 20 percent of my meds during surgery and hospital stay...total with surgeon co pay and hospital co pay my out of pocket was over 3,000! I had my surgery February 5 2014. Should I be asking bcbs what was up with that? I had to pay this total before my surgery date! Grrrrrrr....but still totally worth it. Would like refund to go cloths shopping!

    abnormal chest x-ray

    Kking1205 replied to tiredmama's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    They found an abnormal lump in my breast when I got my mammogram. Then had to get another mammogram, ultra sound, biopsy...then they removed it.it was the size of a pea.....very early. So not only has the sleeve helped improve my life it also may have already saved it.

    Tylenol does not work for me ....my doc says no NSAIDs ..any one know of any other pain relievers?

    1. Skywalker

      I'd just try the standard other stuff (aspirin, Aleve, Advil, etc) and see if it helps.

    2. jallsop

      jallsop

      Aleve and Advil are NSAIDS so you definitely don't want to take those and aspirin is a blood thinner so typically that is contraindicated after surgery for pain relief. Typically, the reason NSAIDs are discouraged is because they can slow wound healing. If Tylenol is not helping, your over the counter options are really limited unfortunately. Not sure when your surgery was, are you fresh post op? Did they not give you a pain med at discharge?

      tramadol is a prescription pain med. but not a narcotic. I am allergic to aspirin so this med really helps when I have a headache.

    Get the surgery! Swallowing pills the next day. Hanging skin can be delt with at a later date. I also drank coffee and soda with every meal...I am happy I had to miss it .....cuz the way I am feeling now is way bigger and better then wanting to drink with my meals! Do yourself and your son a big favor get the surgery and live a longer, healthier, happier, more comfortable life.

    Out of Pocket and Deductible Question?

    Kking1205 replied to darneka1's topic in Insurance & Financing

    I have bcbs federal and I had to pay my deductible up front plus 2377 for my 20 percent of the surgery I was responsible for. It wasn't the policy of bcbs but of the hospitals.

    Head Hunger & Actual Pain

    Kking1205 replied to ChavaBling's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I have not been sleeved very long but I can tell you already that the pain of recovery (not really all that bad) and all the negative side effects not even come close to the positive things that I am feeling!
