    Gas and liquids

    Hi, I was sleeved on 3/1 and I have the same thing. Everything taste weird and I feel like my breath smells like iron. I have enough drinking as much as I can and starting puréed foods today. Good luck on your journey.

    New york (surgery 3/2017)

    Hi, My name is Kisha. I'm also from NYC (Harlem) I'm also on track to have my surgery in March 2017. I also have BC/BS. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  3. I have had many "straws" 1. Not having energy to hang out with family and friends 2. Knee pain..... Oh the pain 3. My Dr straight said "do you want to die" I can go on and on for days. I have been interested in the gastric sleeve surgery for over 2 years. 2 years ago I allowed my fiancé to talk be out of it and start working out and eating right. I can't lie it worked for a few months. When schedules changed and the momentum was gone the 15 lbs I lost came right back and brought alone 15 of their friends. Now here I am a 34 yr old soon to be 35 yr old woman with one issue I can't get this weight under control and because most of my family is over weight no one sees and issue with it. I'm 5'2 and weight 250. I carry all my weight in my middle my stomach, my butt, and my thighs. This brings me back to the point of this post. Today my company had off sight training for a few of us managers. This training was in the city which either required me to pay $50 to park all day or take the train. I opted to take the train. The train stairs almost killed me! The up and down and the transfer by the time I arrived at the training I was dripping with sweat, my knee felt like it was going to give out any minute not to mention it took me 15 minutes to catch my breath. I know this may seem like not so much of a big deal but It was really embarrassing to be with my co workers and have to stop and catch my breath. I just got off the phone with my insurance company and they still cover the surgery 100% minus the co payment for the hospital and I'm sure I will end up with some out of pocket cost to meet the insurance requirement. Next step for me is to call Mount Sanai hospital where I started the process 2 years ago to see if I have to take the class over again and to make appointment with the Dr. To talk about my next steps. My Journey maybe just beginning but I excited and happy that I have made up my mind to change my life for me!!
