Has anyone ever had their waiting period waved? My insurance has the 6 month medically supervised diet as one of their many criterias. I made my plea and wrote to the begging for them to waive it or cut it in half due to concern for my health problems. They stated that I could have my doctor call and if he believed it was urgent and it should be waved then my case would be evaluated. Has this worked for anyone?

So I had my surgery almost two years ago. For the last month I have felt terribly nauseous and not have come to the point where I can no longer eat. It feels like as soon as a swallow and it hits my stomach I need to throw up or will sit there endlessly dry heaving. I habe an upper gi and lower GI where they thought I had an intestinal fistula. I had a barium enema which didn't show that. No I'm scheduled for an endoscopy.it has ruined my life...some days I can't get out of bed. Anyone else ever experience this?

Has anyone been told they have this?

So I'm 8 months out from having gastric bypass. I was recently told after months of agony that my gallbladder has to come out. My gastric bypass surgeon will not be doing it. Has anyone that has had gastric bypass and their gall bladder out regretted getting it out? I'm told there is more risk associated after having gastric bypass, has anyone been told this as well? Just certainly don't want anymore complications. I'm scared to have a organ removed.

Did u find it easier or Harder to lose weight after? Did everyone have it laparoscopically ?

So today I purchased my first bathing suit in over 20 years. Not because I wanted to but for my son. Wow I just stared at myself and felt really great. I am so much smaller but still wear big clothes all the time and tend to forget I'm not that person anymore. I have a long way to go but am hopeful this summer I can actually wear shorts. These legs haven't seen sun in forever!!! it just gives me so much motivation. I still have soooo much to go but am hopeful I can someday be comfortable in my own skin and see myself correctly.

So I will be coming upon six months post op next month. Do you find yourself still losing consistently? I just have reached half way to my goal and still have a ways to go.and hope the weight loss will still be going strong.

So I had gastric bypass in September. I have lost a total of.70 pounds since. I started not feeling well a couple weeks ago..nausea lightheaded just overall feeling of being unwell. Went to my surgeon. Had an ultrasound and blood tests. Report came back... enlarged liver, high blood sugar and also sludge in my gall bladder. Frustrated. I thought my weight loss would help me more at this point. I did have an enlarged liver but.not the other probs before. Trudging on and hoping i didnt awaken something. Is sludge the beginning stage of gallstones?

I have no idea what the treatment is .. hopefully just medication. Ur in syr?!? Omg that's so cool. I'm in Cortland!

Sucks having all these problems when I'm still paying off my surgery. Do I forego these things and hope to improve or just stop eating? Hmmm

So my surgeon thinks I might have ulcerative colitis. Going for a ct scan tomorrow and then he wants a colonoscopy. I really don't want to have all this bit hope if he finds what's wrong he can fix it. Feeling so uncertain about things. Seems to be one thing after the next and I'm feeling quite defeated and depressed today. Hope a good nights rest will help. I'm in upstate ny

Maybe I'm like you and am having a reaction to certain foods late in the game. Tends to happen alot in the morning when nothing is in my stomach

Maybe. U just haven't seen a particular correlation. I have been one of those lucky or rather unlucky people that can have sugar and certain foods and it doesn't bother me. I haven't eaten and still feel crampy but much better. At least I know what to do when I don't feel well. I'm gonna see the doc at 3 and hope to get some answers because I'm so sick of feeling this way. AmyC65 how much weight have you lost?

Sometimes I wish he would have. When my surgery happened my surgeon had a surprise that I had intestinal malrotation which basically means my digestive system did not form properly. He had my connected incorrectly and then realized it and made the correction. I hope having this surgery done did not awaken something. Since last night I have had nothing but diarrhea tmi liquid and this morning there was lots of blood. Made an appointment and am going to try and get thru till then but I'm def freaking out

Yah it's pretty scary stuff. I haven't had sharp pain. Somehow I figure If I haven't had a crazy amount of pain everything is ok.

Noone has ever suggested actigall. My dr. Has never mentioned it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm nothing more than a number to him. I wonder if.im getting the care I need. He always wants to see me $$$ but never helps. Last week I had nothing but problems and wonder if it's related.

Ordered a new precise scale. Tried it out and showed me 7 pounds higher than my normal scale. Man I thought I was a slow loser before and now I'm even more frustrated and sad. I feel like I've been stalled forever and now I actually weigh more than what I thought. Feeling like a failure

How long did you have to wait for your insurance to approve of surgery?

Oh don't mean to complain but.holy back pain. Does anyone have this because.ouch this sucks

No matter what I eat or how good I chew I am throwing up at least once a day. I'm almost three months out and have tried to slow it down. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if I should be concerned with a stricture. I have no problem drinking but am so sick of getting sick. I'm scared I'm going to choke.

Just curious how those with September surgeries are doing. Seems I have hit quite a stall and am disappointed. I thought I would have lost more by now. How much of all those at 4 months lost?

My nutritionist said to eat around 750 calories and I am 4 months out. I stalled forever. I wonder if my body was in starvation mode. Now I only pay attention to getting my protein. If I go over...oh well. I've started losing again. Drives me nuts that we r all told something different.

So I feel like I finally pulled through my stall. I was so excited when I weighed myself today and was in onderland. It was by .2 pounds but hey that counts! Am more excited and motivated than ever. Half way to goal! Maybe someday I'll see myself other than big and fat. Work in progress I guess. 70 pounds more to go!

I definitely feel this way. I even try to compare pics but it's like my head can't computer. To me I don't Look much different even tho I've finally hit onederland. I just can't wrap my head around my new look. I haven't even bought new clothes yet but have to roll my pants and look ridiculous. Wonder when our head catches up to our body.
