Let me look. Did you see the number for the vitamin?

It's Procare... The number is 2 posts above under my name

What documentation did you need for your insurance ? I just had my surgery but I'm pretty sure I'll be going that route myself

50 but I wish I had done it 20 yrs ago

Hey the name of the vitamin provider I use is Procare the number is 8558281488. Tell them you got the number from a customer. I believe everyones co pay is different but mine was 25.00.

Relax you're still swollen inside. Call the doctor about your bm but really you haven't been putting much in so you probably can't expect much out. Just make sure your staying hydrated. I know if I don't, I get nauseous and feel like crap. Even now 6 weeks out. Try to get your vitamins in. Please stop driving yourself crazy weighing yourself every day(or more;) ) it will make you insane. It will come of in due time. Your gonna be swollen for a couple weeks and you still have all the fluid from the hospital in you. Just relax sweetie.

Call your doctor. I have had the same feeling off and on since March 2nd . Some days I'm okay others I just want to stay in bed.

You're okay. Lots of us go thru this. I've read that it's because the fat we are losing has estrogen (especially the stomach fat from what I've read) so we tend to be more hormonal. That coupled with the fact that this is a major surgery and your nervous about the future it's no wonder your emotional. Sip some herbal tea. Relax

Pick yourself up , dust yourself off and put your big girl(hopefully soon to be smaller girl) panties on and start again. Donuts happen, next time get to the protein bar aisle before the bakery. Write this down. Protein bars,shakes, beef or Turkey jerkey. Deli dept: Turkey, ham cheese roll up. Salad from the produce dept. With ham cheese and Turkey from deli on it. Lots of stuff in the store to eat the junk food was calling your name cause face it...the family was eating what they wanted...sorry. I know ive been there. This is your journey not theirs. What you see and feel on the other side will amaze you. My husband and son can eat any fast food in front of me. Doesn't faze me. I can eat so little that I don't want crap in my system. My one regret so far...I have lost my taste for coffee...I loved coffee...snif. I used to love water. Not a fan of the taste anymore, drink it cause I have to. Weird. I'm 5 weeks out. I don't know if this will all change. But my pants are falling down...

I'm so sorry this had happened. Hope the recovery is easier than expected. Please share the name of this dr and get yourself a maneater of an attorney.

I'm in. I'll let y'all know tomorrow what my goal will be. My 1 month follow up is then and I haven't weighed my self since the 1 week follow up.

I'm gonna have to check out Costco. Premier is the only one my new tummy will keep on it one way or the other. Thanks for the heads up.

Write down all your concerns to ask your doctor. Are they doing your surgery laparoscopicly? Need more info sweetie. JUST BREATHE.... I have the sleeve I'm doing okay but I'm a month out and I still don't feel great. But I'm losing weight! I think I'm not getting enough water. Make sure you are hydrated. Start with basics right now. Ask your dr the questions that well apply to you cause we are all different. I had little to no pain for the surgery but I still feel crappy a month later. Everyone is different

Btw BREATHE.... YOU GOT THIS......

Groupon (if your familiar with it) has quest protein shakes on sale all the time but it takes a couple weeks to re cieve sometimes.

There's a insurance paid monthly vitamin service. If your insurance covers it is 25.00 a mo which includes multi /calcium/iron and a nasal B vitamin. I'll get you the name and post it. It's still cheaper than what you pay at the store for all of those otc

I have times in my life when I do/have taken anxiety meds. I've never had a problem coming off of them. I usually only used them a couple months at a time. The hardest ones were xanax tho. Those things are the DEVIL. Lol for me they're really great while I'm taking them but once I stop omg lock me in my bedroom and throw chocolate under the door. I become the most meanest snotty beotch EVER! I swear it's like I look at myself from outside my body and shake my head. I just wanna slap myself then I cry for 2 days and I'm good. Yeah it's not pretty

I had the sleeve so it's a bit different but I also had no Cath, no drain but had the pump but it's not really a pain pump it numbed the stomach area like novacaine. I had iv dalaudin but the second it hit my stomach I wretched every time after the 4th time and after trying different opiates I told them I didn't want any whatsoever. And I was okay. And believe me I'm not one of those bite the bullet types but pain or puking? I'll take a little pain. I really think the pump thing did a world of good in that respect. Btw even if you do have to have a tube by mouth they put you out first. No one wants to fight a patient trying to put a tube down their throat without unless it's an emergency situation. And getting it out isn't that bad. Count to 3 and it's over with maybe a sore throat but it won't go down that way for this type of surgery.

I'm only three days out so I don't know, but good for you! That seems like a successful number to me! Keep up the good work & you will be happy with your loss. My surgery was on the 2nd of March but I don't weigh myself at home. I lost 16 lbs the first week and my next appointment is April 8th. I will have to calibrate my home scale with my doctors this week. So I'll let you guys know where I'm at then.

I'm a month out and I still get tired. I still get gassy too. It just takes time.

I would recommend him and his office. They are very efficient and super nice people. Dr Oldham was very attentive when I was not feeling well after surgery. He came in 3 times to check on me to figure out why I was throwing up every time something hit my stomach. I have my 30 day check up this thursday.

I'm so sorry for you loss. I lost my brother Which was the catalyst for me to lose the weight. My brother was always active and a pillar of the community. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to these things it just happens. I've also lost both my parents in their early 60s. I'm in my 50a and to think that I only have 10 or 15 yrs left scares the crap out of me. Again my condolences for your loss.

I had diarrhea after surgery every day. Contact your doctor. Mine allowed me Imodium. Come to find out after surgery I could not tolerate the whey protein that I had been drinking for the past 6 months and also could not tolerate artificial sweeteners. (Which is pretty much our entire diet the first 2 weeks after surgery) I am using the premium protein products now(it took me awhile to find it since I'm one month out yesterday) like I said talk to your doctor because the diarrhea will dehydrate and you don't need that right now.

That's where I am now. I feel like crap most mornings til just after noon. I still have to take anti nausea meds before I eat anything.
