Resume omeprazole anyone?
mstrina911 replied to Sleevilicious's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told I would need for at least 6 months. I never had acid reflux before surgery, but now it's really bad. I'm sure I will need to continue it for a long time. -
Alas, the Power of the Sleeve
mstrina911 replied to FraggleRock's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 5 months post op and my sleeve hates most solid foods. Thank goodness I love soup. I miss eggs. I can eat about 2 tsp and I'm done. Sometimes 1 Breakfast sausage link. This journey is tough, but well worth it. -
struggling to get anything in
mstrina911 replied to navymom1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I struggled my first two weeks. Everything made me sick. I still can't drink regular Water. chicken broth and hot tea w/ lemon were the only things I could tolerate for almost a month. Good luck. -
I am just about finished my clearances and an looking at a date in late December. I recently started seeing a PCP for the first time in almost ten years. I am worried about submitting my last two years of weight. I visit my Gyn every six months, so I may be able to get something from her, but the report my PCP had is missing a lot. If my bmi was below 40 in the last two years, will that cause me to be denied despite having numerous records showing up I have been morbidly obese for most of my life?

I haven't smoked a cigarette since September 30th. I have cravings daily, but I don't want to be denied surgery or have any complications because I can't stop smoking. It's hard, but its important, so I just push myself everyday. I hope that I never smoke again.

I'm pre-op. I am seeing Dr. Kirkland @ Pennsylvania Hospital. He is awesome and has great references.
