hello friends I wanted to update. this is an amazing tool .... I am so fortunate to had been able to have this surgery! I now catch myself seeing an overweight person and feeling bad for them. I wish this surgery was available to everyone! HW 268 SW 259 CW 187 last August vs last week I would like another 20 lbs....or just tone up.

had my surgery today at 1100 I would say it was a success . ...I wanted to share for those awaiting their surgery The anesthesia was good, I was joking with the surgical staff then next I was waking up in recovery. I have a pain pump....not using it excessively. I have not been allowed to sip yet....the dry mouth is no joke! ha ha. I have a swab and ice Water...so that is a plus. I'm not nauseous....no pain...no gas pressure (yet) I did get up and urinated. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and hair....I actually feel human again! I did get an abdominal band....this is a good thing to have. all is well......hope you don't mind the ramblings....hey, I AM medicated. haha good night friends!

hi Brenda...i just saw ur post. the band is a Velcro type girdle....i would tighten it and it was very comfortable. it helped when you tried to get up from laying or sitting. it just made me feel better...like I was being held together. i would recommend it. best of luck....i will tell u, u will question your choice for the first week or so. but if you follow the directions from your doctor, you will feel better. i guarantee that once you get used to your new lifestyle, you will NOT regret the surgery. good luck

today I hit ONE-DERLAND. I have not seen a 1 in front of my weight in 18 years! I have not been losing as quick as I would like but it is coming off! Everyone raise your protien shakes and CHEERS! to us all being on the crazy journey together!!! starting weight 265.2....today 199.8!

amazing ...you should be proud!!

amazing....u look great....and u should be proud of yourself!!

I thought Dr. Abbas was great....the staff is the best. good luck to all who are pre-op

I have UHC. My doctor's office ran all the insurance paperwork for me. I was required 6 months nutritionist visits, EGD, psych evaluation, sleep apnea....and I think that's all. I started in April 2016, met with the surgeon 7/21/16....done with all my requirements 9/1/16...and I was approved 2 weeks later. Surgery 10/26/16. I had gastric bypass. good luck...I paid $2500 out of pocket....just the hospital stay was 35k for two days!!! I would have never been able to do it without UHC Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

hi..yes I love the UH Parma team. Dawn was my nurse...so sweet and helpful. Nutritionist is always nice....do you work with her...can't think of her name. a coworker had the doctor you are going to ...she seemed pleased. I go to the doc on Friday for my 90 check up. I guessing I'm down about 43 lbs since surgery. 51 lbs from my highest late summer. I feel great!

I had 6 weeks off....doctor required but I felt good after 3 weeks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery on 10/26 and boy, the medical bills are steadily coming in! I have to say how thankful I am that this was covered by my insurance! The hospital stay for two days was over 35k alone! I'm very thankful...and I truly sympathize for the self-pay folks! I understand how important this surgery is to some...and they will do whatever they need to do to get it! have a good evening!!

don't feel bad, my boyfriend offered me gum and I said "not thanks ".....and he said "really, you should take it" it's quite embarrassing...and I had wondered who else I had been offending. sorry...it's a sucky side effect Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App
