Can your pouch stretch so it holds too much food?
dsmith35 replied to cindylew's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think u can stretch the pouch, lately i hav been eating a little bit more im going in to see my doctor -
u not alone we r all friends here,I experience the exact same thing with my cousin who is also, my best friend she wants the surgery but her insurance does not cover it,so she started saying negative things to me like u going to look good with ur clothes on, but when u take them off it will look bad with that excess skin, so I did her one better I told her she looks bad now with her clothes on and off, if its the excess skin I was worry about I can have that taken care of as well, its about me feeling good n being heathy for me she's upset that she cant get healthy,so now when we talk she just ask how much weight have u lost I tell her I dont weigh myself n I wont until I see results, but in reality I know how much Ive lost I just rather not discuss it with her,we dont talk as much anymore thats her lost not mine, so dont u feel bad it will be those people in the end that will wish they were u. Good Luck!!!!:thumbup:

Trouble getting Tricare Approval
dsmith35 replied to AshleyBlue's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
hello, ashley blue Ive just had surgery May12,2008 I was approved by Tricare Prime it didnt take much it depends on your doctor and you to send in any weight loss attempts and thats it i was approve in 2 days, but also your BMI has to meet their requirements, so just hang in it will happen. -
u should not get discourage it takes time just stick to your liquids it's only been a week if u stick with your diet u will see results soon.
