You can eat potato chips.. lucky you all I can eat is four scoops of Vega all in one protein shakes and low glycemic index vegetables. Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

Did anyone stop taking their medication a few days before their surgery ? When did you start taking them ? My dr told me to stop taking mine a few days before surgery. Most of the medication I take are capsules so just wondering how this affects you post op. Swallowing big capsules.

Wow you look amazing and different for sure. Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

How far along into post op did you start talking all your meds again ? Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

Okay so I am on iron supplements,multivitamins as well as B12. Guess I will have to discuss this with the surgeon. He never mentioned this. I guess I'm just really scared, as my date for surgery is approaching soon. Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi there, I am wondering if there's anyone from Canada who has had surgery and wondering how you dealt with your provincial health care. Looking for advice on what is covered and what was not. Were you able to claim anything with CRA ? Also if you had blue cross coverage how did that go ? Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi RinRin, My dr was telling me that often it gets a bit worse because when we restrict our carb intake, sometimes the Group vitamins are missed. I have depression but in addition to my meds, I also was prescribed vitamin B5, magnesium and liquid D3. But I'm in Canada so winter time we don't get alot of Vitamin D. Are you able to do light therapy ? But I have been taking this combo of supplements for almost 9 months pre op.. so it has been pretty steady for me. Otherwise I was.like you as well, can't sleep, over night panic attacks, where I would run outside. Maybe talk to your GP and see if these may benefit you. Hugs and hang in there.

Sending good vibes mine is Feb 26, 2019. Sending you good vibes.. so my dr gave me a list of things to bring in my over night tote, slippers, loose clothes, gas x pills. (Chewabla) compression stockings if needed. Any medication I am taking. These were the important ones. Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah, many people from here often end up going elsewhere to Mexico. There was an agency here WLS now bought by a company in BC that used to send patients from here to see Dr Pompa . Sent from my SM-G950W using BariatricPal mobile app
