Tried grilled chicken at 4 weeks out, chewed very well, and got down about an ounce. No problems.

Risk of death from WLS is minimal--I think less than 1%. Risk of death from overweight is very high. Look up some numbers and show him! -
3-4 weeks out how u feeling?
NotGoingThere replied to happymama2014's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did have a lot of pain in my largest incision, but went back to work 9 days out, and felt just a little sore by then. I am in my 4th week out now, and no pain other than occasional twinges--most noticeably after I carried groceries that were too heavy over the weekend! -

You can bet she is jealous. You are right--a BMI at 250 for your height is still over 40! No way would that be a healthy weight. Your goal is much more realistic, and HEALTHY! Ignore it, and keep going! -

Return to work / recovery Time
NotGoingThere replied to cathybb36's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am a teacher. I had surgery on Saturday morning, and went to work a week from Monday (9 days). I asked my surgeon ahead of time and he said ok if I felt like it and could get my liquids and Protein in. I have been fine! -
I had no internal pain and no nausea, but was on nausea medication. Four of my incisions were fine, but the largest one hurt MUCH worse than expected. I could't move easily for several days. However, the pain got better quickly, and I could move around very well by 5-6 days out. Started a new job on day 9 and I have been fine.

Making the decision too quickly?
NotGoingThere replied to FrankyG's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I first met with surgeon at the end of July and getting sleeved tomorrow. Once I made up my mind (after thinking about it for years), I was ready to go! -

Starting new job…how long to stay out?
NotGoingThere posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having surgery (Sleeve) on Saturday the 27th. After searching for a job for almost 6 months (teaching high school) I have finally been offered a job. Yay!! They want me to start on Oct. 6, a week and 2 days after surgery. Should I be OK? -
Anyone in north carolina
NotGoingThere replied to Jenlanning30's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm north of Raleigh. Dr. Tyner is my surgeon, and surgery is scheduled for Saturday Sept. 27. -
If you have never tried it, vanilla yogurt with a spoon of peanut butter stirred in is wonderfull!
-
My insurance approval letter (BCBS) came in saying that I was approved for surgery and then there was a date in a right hand column beside it that says 9/22/2014-9/23/2014. What is this date for? My pre-op appt is on the 23rd, but my surgery date is 9/27. Does this need to be addressed?

Be glad you decided to have the surgery. These problems might have been found too late if you were not taking these steps! -
How necessary is this pre-op diet?
NotGoingThere replied to Luana526's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor told me that the diet was to shrink the size of the liver, but also to reduce the weight of it. He says if the liver weighs too much due to fat and they lift it out of the way, it could develop a crack, which would be bad!
