How do you start a new message?

My mom is still alive but has dementia really bad. So if I were to tell her my surgery she wouldn't remember sure wish I had my mom back.

I've not talked with the surgeon yet about my medications. I'm on theophylline time release for my lungs and I know that is a metabolism downer. Found that out when I had my stress test, but they did get my heart rate up for 6 min and then said it was enough.

Wonderful

You should go to your PCP and have it documented, the more documented problems the better chance for plastics later. Also a yeast inf won't clear up on its own therefore call drs and make that appointment. Good luck on it clearing up fast.

Wow I sure didn't know Abilify will do that to you. I take it twice a day, have only been able to lose 9 pounds in 6 months.

Wow all such good responses to the band vs sleeve. I too have elected to do the sleeve. I have a sister who lost a lot of weight on the band, had tummy tuck, boob lift, face done...and has gained most back! Just can't see a needle going into my port as they call it, whew just can't imagine it.

What a list, thank you

Summer rain, I would say call your insurance company first and see if it was submitted to them. If it was they can tell you if your approved or still have to wait on approval. Then call the PCP or your bariatric office and tell them what you found out or didn't find out. It's been way to long with your wait. Usually ins will approve or deny you in a few days to 2 weeks. So get on the phone and call. Best of luck

Well said...

Hi BearyBlu, and welcome to this forum.

Mine is day before you, congrats and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hi there heav85, I started my visits in April, will finish up 15 th Oct the same day I start my 2 week liquids. Hmm I really don't know about a 2 week liquids, just that most people have to do it. I will get more information as the time gets closer. What part of KY are you from? I'm not to far from Ft. Knox area. Glad to see a KY woman on here, there are others from here also but I've not heard from them lately. My surgery date is this month 27th

Wow such a good job, you are looking mighty fine after only 4 months, congrats

Great job! So happy for you

Welcome holliwood.

Welcome to this forum, you will find so much knowledge on here. Besides tips and hints lol. Welcome again...

Congrats Emily, your doing great, keep it up.

LainieG, You lay on your back and this large square thing (camera) it's really big does come close to your face. It starts on your right side and it moves like 2 inches at a time. It comes up and over you down to your left side. I'm claustrophobic also with the MRI machine, but this one wasn't bad. You put your arms over your head and close your eyes! They do this test twice, during your time there. Do you have to have this test before surgery?

Congrats, glad to hear your doing well.

Rovobay, what kind of shakes did you get through insurance? I'm wondering if medicare does this, do you wait till after surgery to check on ins paying?

Hi all, just back from my nuclear stress test and Echo. The girl who did echo said it looks good, stress test on treadmill went good, only had to do 6 min on treadmill. Got my heart rate up fast, the stuff they put in your IV is awful. Metallic tasting, awful. Now I have the last NUT visit with doctor on 15 th and I start 2 wk liquids that day also. Surgery still on line for Oct 27th.

Now it's gone how strange

How did I end up with hmm we all have someone else's pic in our stats. Wonder how it got there???

I have not tried any of the UNJURY products yet, just hoping I like it.
