  2. I thought this was interesting Gets reabsorbed in the body not expelled http://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/post-operative-gas-813641.html
  3. I told my boss last year and she reacted very negatively. I proceeded anyway. As she realized I was serious she is now accepting of it. Not exactly like she can do anything about it. I also told my coworkers and my direct employees. I don't care who knows really. Their small mind opinions are there own

    Doctor Requirements - Stuck in Approval

    My doc doesn't require a weight loss unless you are over a 50 bmi or higher. Then he wants you to lose 5-10% of that

    EGD

    It was really easy and I was scared as hell I totally understand Michael Jackson addiction now as I was given propophyl. Best nap ever!! Woke up not groggy and was ready to go I. 20 minutes I went shopping afterwards and got myself a late spade bag Came home are an egg white omelet and took a nap. A month later I went for colonoscopy and not scared at all. Was great experience
  7. You go girl! Celebrate that tummy just a lil bit
  8. I am allowed as many vegetables as I want but avocado and tomato were clearly labeled fruits and not part of my plan. I can have a half avocado but as a snack with the 1 meal I can have a day. That's it. Otherwise not so bad. Doing ok.

    I stink!

    The fat being burned off can cause odor more so than normal It's called ketosis I think
  12. Maybe she meant without? You should have her restate that

    Insurance or Self-Pay?

    So item 1 - you don't have another plan. You're paying cash. Second piece of this - you don't know if it will be covered because you're not following the prior requirements. The requirements are the 6 month diet plan/or nutritional monitoring I think you are putting yourself at risk

    back pain

    I am having back pain and am jn pre op diet. I've lost 14 pounds. I am feeling sciatica like pain. I experienced same level of pain in the same area of my back during pregnant as I was gaining weight
  15. So day 2 pre op diet I modified my diet so I didn't go cold turkey I did one Protein Shake a day for last 10 days or so. Lost 14 pounds. Not bad. Feel great. No loss of energy. Yesterday was day 1 2 shakes. Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch. I didn't do enough Water Sensible dinner was actually vegetarian I noticed at the end of day I was really agitated I mean downright edge of insanity. I had a very stressful day at work and blamed it there Today I am having moderate workday but it's 2 pm and I am ready to rip people into 50,000 pieces. I am so sick of bs I just want to punch someone in the face. Oh my flipping lord! And the back pain from losing 14 pounds in last 10 days is excruciating I can't find a comfortable sitting standing or laying position. And the stress is making it worse. No loss of energy. No headaches. Just really pissed off, a little hungry not a lot, and ugh!!!! I am gonna go take a Xanax Like seriously. Not expecting this
  16. Sorry. I am going against the grain here. Can't throw stones at her about talking about you if you come on here and repost what she's saying. You're both causing each other pain. Either let it go and move on. Or keep posting about her and what she says. Reinforcing her message. After you stop posting about her- and I mean permanently - and she continues - document when you last posted and copy all her posts to paper. Take it to a lawyer and send her a cease and desist letter and if she continues sue her. If you continue to post about her you have no leg to stand on
  17. Let's hope it does Yesterday I was starving. And by the time 3 rolled around there were no angry issues but sure as heck sleepy. Practically passed out
  18. No not kidneys - definitely back pain and lots of it When I was pregnant I would get sciatica pain as my weight changed and it almost feels like that. My leg is getting tingles and shooting pains down it from my back.

    Overreacting? I want water!

    I echo a lot of folks' comments. I think your surgeon did you wrong. Maybe he doesn't think so. He knows you and your family obviously. Maybe he is doing studies on imbrication. Who knows. A lot of folks on here who paid cash are probably really jealous right now. Those of us with insurance are dumbfounded on your behalf. Whatever sounds like you were done wrong. You need to think long and hard about your next steps. Removal will need tobe by this surgeon and he's gonna have to get creative on how to tell your insurance and the hospital what he's doing.
  20. If your employer purchased a rider it may require the medical records. But not usually for cigna

    Overreacting? I want water!

    I just did a look up and saw a video of this. Sounds awesome. However not around long enough to know long term results. And insurances don't cover the procedure He did it because you were covered for hernia and you got this extra for free basically. Did you get any form of nutritional counseling or any guidance in advance?

    Insurance or Self-Pay?

    It's not pre existing condition that applies. It's a clause in many insurances (read your policy fine print) that states complications arising from non covered non authorized procedures are not their responsibility. Many policies have it, many do not. Read yours front to back
  23. Yep I can have 3 shakes a day and small meal at night Raw veggies throughout the day Omg pms. It's day 2 of my period

    New at this...

    Hi am June 25 and doing 2 shakes 1 dinner as well. My first day of two shakes was yesterday I didn't want to go cold turkey so have been doing 1 shake a day for last 10 days or so. I have tried unjury - pretty good look it up online and get the sample pack I love Tara's whey blueberry I get at whole foods A little pricey for what you get but extremely tasty Carb advantage is good as well

    Insurance or Self-Pay?

    I am not sure what the rush is nor the issue Is there something wrong with the center of excellence or is it just the longer weight. Have you considered at least going for 1 visit to a surgeon there and exploring the option? I am not sure how long you've considered this but this is life changing and sometimes a 3-6 month prep for it isn't the end of the world.
