I did not but in my support group we have 2 people on hold because they were told to lose 20 to 50 pounds before the office will put through there paper work for approval. Insurance requirements are changing and I believe it will only get worse. Good luck to you.

I was taking prilosec, my surgeon starts it 2 weeks before surgery, I was sleeved on 12/19. He said i could stop 6 weeks after, i went to 8. Yesterday was the first day i noticed it. I have never had issues with Reflux or heartburn. I will speak to him about Rolaids, i was not aware i could use them. Thanks for the input.

Dehydrated for sure, I was put on iv fluids 3 times after leaving hospital. Tell you Dr. Or go to ER.

How are you feeling?

10 weeks post op, today I had protein and a small amount of salad. This is the first time I have had heartburn, does anyone get it?

You will do great. You will have no desire to eat and that makes it easier to make healthy choices, no cravings.

Its so odd how everyone is given different info. I am allowed to have coffee, i am 9 weeks post. Last night in my group someone said they go to Subway and get salads. Another person said she was told no salad for a year! I as so confused at times that i will damage myself. But i think by this point i am pretty good with the healing?

My visit the week before surgery was 287. My next appointment is in March. I try not to weigh myself at home, but do check every few weeks. My last weight was 240, i am at week 9. I had a pretty rough recovery, Please note that these things will most likely not happen to you. But i did have a few setbacks. It took me 6 weeks to really get to feeling good. Now im working on my nutrition. 3 ounces of Protein every meal with either some fruit or a vegetable and two Protein shakes a day. I eat clean. No junk, i sometimes can't believe what some of the people in my support group try to eat. Im not saying that i will never have a slice of pizza again, but i don't see that happening for a very long time.

I did not have to do the Pre-op Diet. My surgeon did not believe it was necessary. I feel for you it must be very difficult. As of yesterday i am at week 9. I had a few set backs right after surgery so i had a difficult time. Don't be afraid, you are doing to right thing having surgery and will be very happy 4 weeks out. NO you will not be hungry, I eat 3 small meals a day and 1 to 2 Protein shakes in between. Be smart with your choices early on and you will be satisfied. Do yourself a favor and don't try to eat junk or foods not recommended, it will not help you. You are doing this to change you life. That means all your food choices for the next year need to be clean and healthy. Let me know how you do.

I was sleeved 12/19. You will have a successful surgery, reach out with post op questions.

Fleet Enama, sorry to say and make sure it's mineral oil. I have had a terrible time. I do a dulcolax at night and a colace in the morning.

My surgeon not once called me, that office is the worst. Should have researched better.

Loved coffee, 8 weeks post op it just doesn't love me [emoji30] it's just not the same taste, hot or iced. Can't get a quarter of a cup in. I gave up.

You are on track [emoji122]

Good Luck to all February dates coming up[emoji122]
