What to bring too hospital
Redmaxx replied to KaylaWls1216's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I couldn't wear a robe because of the IV in my arm. Other than that, tooth brush, tooth paste, phone charger, underwear, sleep pants, slippers, my CPAP and my cell phone. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App -
I was able to comfortably fit into a medium shirt that I was last able to fit into in 1992. The shirt says Joe Short Timer Stuttgart Germany. I bought it when I was getting ready to ETS from the US Army in Stuttgart Germany. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Has anyone gotten a medical alert bracelet stating that they have had a gastric bypass? I found one on evilBay and was wondering if I should buy it. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard to lose one of your fur babies. I wish I could say it gets easier but for me it hasn't. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Mine doesn't say anything about Fluid capacity. I may have to see if they have a link to add to mine that has that. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

My skin feels weird to me. Almost like it is drying out. I know it is winter and skin does dry out during the winter but this has never happened to me prior to surgery. Anyone else have this happening to them?

Sorry, I don't have Highmark BSBC but I do have BCBS FEP and I know for me it was just a couple of days after I proved I had 6 months of supervised medical weight loss. Hopefully it won't take too long.

I have seen them on sale at Home Depot and was wondering the same thing.

When do you stop feeling like a wls Patient
Redmaxx replied to chynadoll619's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I am only 7 weeks post op so I would like to throw my 2 cents in even though I don't have the experience as the others who posted here. To me I would think it depends on the WLS surgery that you had. Lap Bands are going be different than the sleeves which are going to be different than the pouches. The bands and the sleeves are going to be able to return to a more "NORMAL" eating situation than the pouches. Bands and sleeves have stomachs, pouches don't and I believe that we have to take different supplements than they do. So to answer your question, it depends on you and the type of surgery that you had. This is just my 2 cents and again, I am only 7 weeks post op. -
From a guys perspective, you look fantastic. I am in the same boat as all of you. I don't see where I am any thinner even though everyone says I am. I took a photo of my face last night and compared it to a before surgery photo. I can see that I am thinner but I think I look old even though people say I look younger.

Congratulations and good luck on your upcoming surgery. You can do it.
