Not loosing weight! Help!
Nylaj replied to svasquez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't worry about the numbers. You can lose weight or you can not lose weight, but lose inches, Fluid, & etc.. Stop worrying about the numbers or you will drive yourself into a turmoil. -

Where are you having it done at? UNC lets you pay slowly until your date. My surgery is on Sept 16th. Since July, I been paying something towards my deductible since then. Just paid the $700 ded off yesterday actually. If you meet your deductible before your surgery, BCBS NC will pay more for your surgery & your oop will be less. -
I was told no alcohol for 6 months b/c your blood is thin and you can get drunk way faster. It can mess up your stomach, but I will probably never drink again..

I was told the more you made yourself move, the better you will feel because moving helps your body heal faster.. Try making yourself move every 30 mins for 5 mins.

Hello! I'm in the Fayetteville area, so I looked for surgeons in my area and as far as Cary/Raleigh! I didn't really look any further since I have children at home! I know we are far, but UNC is great! (: -
Here are the Vitamins i Take! What do you take?
Nylaj replied to Mrs.Truffles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told I couldn't swallow pills or eat gummies for the first 6 months. My surgery is on Wednesday, Sept 16, 2015. I take Vitamins that my Doctor recommended. Not sure of the brand, but it goes through my insurance. I pay $10.00 a month & get a multivitamin, Biotin, B12 nosespray, & calcium. -
My Doctor recommended them so I would imagine they are okay. But I was told not to rely on them daily. Maybe twice a week, but nothing more than that.

Where are you in North Carolina? I work at UNC Hospitals & my doctor is Dr. Meredith Duke. She is great, but also the fellows.. Dr. Timothy Farrell & Dr. David Overby are awesome. -

You shouldn't have any problem if your BMI is over 37.
