Hunger feelings/confusion after surgery
GreenTealael replied to GabrielleSimone's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Everyone will feel differently. You may not get the full sensation until you are overfilled and that's no fun. It was suggested to me because I never got the signal fullness either early on that if there is a disconnect between the stomach and brain satisfied feeling, use portion control in it's place as a back up (1/8 cup, 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup , etc) Contact your team for more details! -
Suggest not talking about ANY surgical related matters until the day before surgery. Try to focus on other parts of life. This can be so all consuming at times, might as well focus heavily on it only when it actually happens. Try to focus on her exclusively for a bit. DEFLECT What does she have going on? Thinking about trying Yoga or going back to school, etc. Safe Journey!

Insurance not covering bariatric surgeries
GreenTealael replied to Sonyawon's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Huh....you think they would want happy healthy employees. I bet their risk management consultants gave them some relevant data like "78% of the employees who have the procedures leave less than 1 year after"... -
OMG how could I forget about the time I tried to pass out in Paris because I thought I could eat whatever I wanted with a sleeve. Not. Dumping Syndrome in French subtitles. Pas Bon...

Pouch Reset/Back to Liquids?
GreenTealael replied to redhead_che's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sure, I used to reset monthly to clear out things that snuck back in, jumpstart a stall or ease constipation... Only for a few days max but my team was always on board with my plans. Any direction from yours? -

Is losing 50% of excess weight the standard?
GreenTealael replied to Briswife15's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
the entire scope, I'm trying not to be short sighted when it comes to my personal journey so hearing info about multiyear spans is helpful. My team didn't over sell me on my goal because they didn't give me one. They were very clear that my body would determine it ultimately no matter what I wanted and I'm thankful for that. It's kept me grounded and focused on health. -

Not loosing weight and feeling helpless
GreenTealael replied to Rj’s mommy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Try (very hard) to be patient, follow your plan closely and trust that you are doing well. Some of us are slow losers but it all adds up eventually! Promise! Check in with your team when you have major roadblocks. -
