Wellcare of ky revision.
Avery's Mom replied to heav85's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
after your check up try a reset. lots of info out there to shrink the sleeve if you have stretched it. -
I was only told I could try them at 3 months. some do irritate me, others not so much.
-
yes it is essentially a half serving. does not make you go, just makes it easier.
-
try roasted chicken Better than Bullion. it is so much better! they have a veggie broth too.
-
And MIRALAX is super gentle. no cramps or stomach aches. I have to give it to my special needs son and I would not use it otherwise.

Maybe I'm Being Sensitive, But...
Avery's Mom replied to FancyChristine15's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
How crappy, rude and insensitive. While It is true that men see size as very different than women do and have NO CONCEPT of actual weight, STILL no excuse to be judegemntal and rude.. so the BIG GAL he is speaking of could be 100lbs or 200lbs. you have very right to feel offended. At 5;10 (but I used to be 6'0" until I got old and shrunk) I feel your pain. -
MIRALAX, 2 tsps. every other day. lots of water. I am 3 months out and all the extra protein is doing it to me too!

Eating too fast, not chewing enough, or???
Avery's Mom replied to CurvyMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
yeah you need to go back in for a face to face. this is not normal. I know when I had too much or ate too fast but never throw up. just have that too full feeling until something slides out the bottom lol -
OH MAN I used to be a champion hula hooper back in the day LOL may try that. SOunds like fun anyway!
-
yep I had one repaired at time of surgery too

Sleeved 3/18/19... horrible pain
Avery's Mom replied to larissasmith07's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
if you can lay on your back and elevate your legs, like up a wall off the bed or somewhere really helps. took mine about 10 days to dissipate completely -
I cant throw up either. I heave and salivate like crazy but no barfing. it is brutal lol
-
probably the internal stitches. I had a similar dent at first too. and it felt like a knot under the skin. but I had no pain after about 2 days.

The scale is finally moving again
Avery's Mom replied to Excited for a new me's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I figured out I was not getting enough sleep! that is when your body eats up the fat for fuel! Good job! -
Daily Nausea, Fatigue and Dizzyness post surgery with complications 😞
Avery's Mom replied to llewerentz's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Can I just say Bless your heart? and I mean that in the nicest way possible, not the Snarky way lol Your body has had severe trauma. potassium landed me back in 4 days postop so might be it. call your doc! Good luck! -
I too did this for health reasons, my kids and grandkids. BUT I cant say I don't love the way I look in a nice pair of jeans LOL Don't give up. it is a long process because they want to ensure they are successful. they psych evals, the bloodwork, the counseling. it all adds up. then the insurance priocess. WELL we all know that bites. BTW I love your snarky post LOL I too am fluent in sarcasm!
-
I do water with my protein powder. some pureed banana for extra potassium.
-
yep no payments here either. all my costs were required up front the day of surgery.
-
YEP. tell them BYE Felicia
-
the preop diet is so brutal lol You DID IT though! Congratulations!
-
Yes i did it during my puree stage as well

Unexpected Post Op Observations
Avery's Mom replied to lala75's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
oh my gosh ya'll are too cute. for me clothes are longer cause the boobs and belly are smaller. I can see my feet, I had to order smaller band for my fitibit, and new running shoes. and new bra and panties since mine kept creeping down under my bootie when I walked -
Phentermine sickness PLEASE HELP!
Avery's Mom replied to onmyway11's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
WOW this is very surprising to me. It is no longer recommended due to the side effects.
