I have cigna also, it's better to present them with so much info that they can't refuse. Keep a log of what and how much you ate in 90 days. Also if you excerised and if you drank 64 fluids of Water, that really helps, also if you have any gym memberships, or if you had one within the past 3 years. On my 3 month I stayed the same one month and I gained 5 pds the second. I didn't try it just happened. Good luck with your beginning of a new life.

I'm freaking HUNGRYYYY! Eeerrrrgggg!
saphfyre14 replied to SiSSi829's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh my you live dangerously. You really have to be careful. Putting food down a 1 week post op sleeve could rip you open and cause you serious harm. When you feel like that drink a high Protein drink. It will help with the hunger or try a sugar free popcicles or Jello, it usually helps right away. Drink you fluids slowly. Good luck Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App -

I have to say this has been the most painful surgery I've been through, wish I could fast foward through the recovery process..lol I do believe each day is getting better, but only getting 30 grams of Protein in a day after 30 I feel like I just ate a whole thanksgiving meal. I'm miserable but then my mind can't wait til I can eat some kind of food. Today I walked a lot more. Only taking 2 pain pills a day off course they make me sick with no food in my belly. Just getting one step closer ...lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App -

I'm having the gastric sleeve June 28th, yes headaches have seemed to ease. I have to admit day 3 I did eat a pizza roll. Only one but this has been very rough. Almost there 2 more days..lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App -
Surgery is June 28th, I'm so scared but so darn excited. I've been heavy for 24 years, I'm just exited to loose this damn weight and excited to eat healthy. One year ago on June 16th, I had a massive heart attack at 43 years old, my lad was 100 % blocked and my RCA was 99% blocked. I have 3 Stents all together. So the only reason I'm scared is my heart. I did have permanent heart damage to my left side. But I have turned my diet around as far as eating more lean meats and vegetables and fruits, I just sometimes cheat with the sweets, I'm excerising 5 days a week I lost 30 pound but it's been a year now and I haven't lost anymore so I decided to get help with surgery. I'm so excited to get started on this new journey. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Hi Marc, My name is kim and I live in south florida, I also have heart disease, had a heart attack one year ago in june. I am getting sleeved June 28th. I spoke with my primary, my cardiologist and anthesilogist all of them say this surgery is only gonna help our hearts and let us live a longer and healthier live. I too am scared as hell, nervous and excited all in one. But I also know this damn weight is gonna kill me. It was nice to hear a story like mine. If you want we can be heart sleeve buddies.
