Did you get a script for the tramadol that dissolves on your tongue?

I use a cream called Volteran Gel. When I use this I'm not suppose to take my Celebrex. I wonder if that is the cream/gel everyone is talking about. I too will have to be off my Celerex which I've been taking for many years

Try taking you partner or a friend with you to support groups, nut, even the doctor. I took my fiancé who was against me doing th, he said it was to drastic of a way to lose weight. Drastic or not I'd been reading up on it for months and I was having it done. I think he's come around now, at least I hope so. I haven't asked him. I take him to all appointments with me, he and I are retired so we can do this together. He asked questions at the nut support group and at my nut meeting. Maybe you can try taking your partner with you. Good Luck #9grammy

Congrats to you both' how exciting to be starting a new life.

I just googled it and found some, is the taste really bad? Do u mix in milk or water? Couldn't find anything on that. Thanks for the info

Thanks I will look around our vitamin store.

Where do you get this Isopure , and what is it?

I had something similar happen to me with my PCP. Took the papers and asked him to do this, he gave me the run around. Then told me he's not a nut counselor, and he doesn't have time to sit here and explain nutrition with me. I left and it was like a huge weight came on me. Called the bariatric group and they were surprised, never heard of a dr not doing this. They called the dr they deal with and got me an appointment right away. Dr came in said we'd be done in 15 seconds and we were! Just asked me questions. We did talk a little after that but was about my PCP not doing it. This one said his loss is my gain. I just hope my ins will do 2 PCP because my old one is still taking care of me and the new one is for nutrition only.

I would love to be in a size 10 once again. I was 10 years ago it was awesome!

Jenelle, I've been told to use coco butter cream on scars and they can fade. Or they have scar creams out there that r suppose to fade them away! You have to be faithful in using it at least twice a day.

My nut had several items out for examples. One was the Adkins, also the Slimfast high protein.

Congrats on wanting a healthy life, and your husband too! My fiancé said when I have wls he will go on a diet with me. But not the liquid part lol.

I have to see a cardio dr and get clearance, I had CHF and now on heart pills.

Why the heparin shot in belly? Has anyone else gotten this?

Congrats and prayers r with u as you go through you new life change today

You go girl!

Have a great time! I'm sure you will be drinking a lot more than you would normally for being out on a hot beach. Drink up stay hydrated...

I recommend you reading a lot of posts on here, it's what helped me to make the decision. So many good thoughts and for the most the writers on here are great! You can understand it all in a way that the drs and nut don't explain, first hand! I've been on other sites and this site for me has been the best. Read on and educate yourself on this and you will come to a decision, good luck.

I just got home from my scope. Gosh all the personal at the hospital were so nice. Fell asleep and woke up back in my room. No discomfort at all, but I do have polyp and hiatal hernia. So will have that taken care of when my surgery is done. Since I feel great I'm off to the apple store with my daughter. Enjoy your day.

Start with a (tmi) stool softener, I also had problems with the diet. So one in am and pm and all is good.

I personally haven't talked to Medicare, this is what my drs office called the billing and they said the amount. I also have Tricare for Life but they won't cover it.

Don't stress over it, like sleeveless in Seattle said it's a piece of cake. May have a small sore throat but other than that nothing to worry about.

I to have sleep apnea, but couldn't use the CPAP because of my copd/asthma. And anxiety with having something over my face, I felt like I was suffocating. My lung dr did a overnight O2 saturation test on me and I've been on oxygen at night for over a year now. I did 6 months of 24 hr before using just for sleep. Maybe this would be an idea? I do feel more rested when I wake up while using it. I'm hoping my sleeping will improve when I have my wls. Good luck too you.

Hey Jammil0411, I have my scope on Tuesday, what he is looking for is if your stomach has a sickness,forgot what it's called a virus of some kind. If you do it's treated with antibiotics before surgery. It is somewhere on this site. You'll only be out about 15 min is what my surgeon told me, so you will need someone to take you home after. Good luck

I agree tell her when it's done. If I were to tell my mom she would tell all and I'm 57 yrs old! All my family lives in different states than I, my kids are here. I will tell them when my surgery date comes up. Which I'm doing the 6 month wait. Good luck, I understand.
