I had surgery on 12/3. Had problems until yesterday when I started having diarrhea, and then again today. Called Dr office said no milk in protein shakes and take Imodium. Has anyone else had this problem? I have been drinking sugar free Gatorade and had some sugar free popsicles, tried protein with water but still gave diarrhea even with taking the Imodium.

I had the surgery on 12/3 and I gave A Fib which I take medicine for. After Surgery on 2nd day in hospital I went into A Fib, due to the fact they were not giving me my medicine for it. They gave me something else. Once I got the right medicine it was back in sinus rhythm. Have not had problem since and Cardiologist in hospital said that was the cause.

I was sleeved on 12/3. I am gettin in protein and water, but it us a all day thing. I got protein that has 50 grams I mix with Almond milk.

I got my surgery date, Dec 3. I am excited and scared. I have never had surgery before. I only have a 3 day liquid diet before surgery, so that not as bad as I thought. I guess my last meal will be Thanksgiving.

I am new here, but have read a lot of things on here. I am into 3 months of my 6 months that I was told Medicare required. Today I talked to Medicare on another subject, but brought up the 6 months. They told me they had no wait period. She read to me the requirements, and nothing about waiting period. Does anyone know where the 6 months came from or did I get bad info. I was told by my Dr Office bout 6 months. I have done Pysh test, Sleep, and had EDG.

I have former diet attempts with my PC and another Dr who did weight loss. I will talk to the Drs office Wednesday, with what I found out . Thanks

Walden Farms makes creamers, different flavors. No calories, sugar, carbs.

I am in Sebastian also 1 scrabble, who is your Dr?

I had read on here that on a site you could get samples of Protein Shakes to try. Does anyone know the site?

Anyway else used Medicare to pay for surgery. I know it is 6 month weight? Any exceptions?

Thanks????

Thanks for the answers. They told me 6 months, but once they got my records from the VA which is my PC I may not have to wait 6 months. Already had Psychiatry and Sleep test and 1st meeting with surgeon. Have another appt with Surgeon office Monday maybe get some more clarification.

Melbourne, Fl?

I have already started with a doctor, I am a vet and so is my husband. We both have primary care does, so I am going to pass this info to my hubby. He was going to go his after I did. I have other insurance that is covering mine, but if known bout VA would have done a long time ago. Thanks for info.

how did You get VA to approve you?
