What do you put in your coffee?
gadgetgirl68 replied to kla7403's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I use 6 oz of Bananas & Cream Premier Protein and 2 Tablespoons of Flavorless Vital Protein Collagen Peptides which in total adds 24 grams of protein to my coffee. -

I am 6 days post-op and was able to tighten my Fitbit watch by 1 notch. It's the lil changes that make all the difference 🙂 -
How long from first doctor visit to surgery?
gadgetgirl68 replied to KD in CT's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It took me 3 weeks, but every insurance is different, Weight Loss Hospital Programs, pre-op weight loss requirements are different. -
How long were you down and out?
gadgetgirl68 replied to AmberFL's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Two weeks should be no problem. My doctor gave me 8 weeks. Disability usually covers 6 weeks for non-government workers. FMLA covers 12 weeks, but that's just to keep your job...that's not the payment part. Hope this helps. Also, FMLA paperwork is different than the Disability paperwork. -

My RNY w/Hiatal Hernia Repair is on the 26th also. Started my Liquid Diet on Monday. No fun! -

Have you tried Anthem Blue Cross? Also, have you done all the classes (Bariatric Orientation, Nutrition, Psych Eval & joined a support group)? Most insurance companies want you to join a Hospital-based program before giving approval.

Reaching 64oz of fluids tips
gadgetgirl68 replied to melanieinamumu's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am pre-op too. My surgery date is 9/26. I also bought the bottle carrier which holds my water bottle, phone, compact & lipstick. My husband says I am officially an old lady now (I'm 55)....lol. I am embracing the dorkiness 🤣 and love the hands-free option. I just tried it out on my trip to Washington and it was GREAT!! -

A little bummed out. My date of surgery has been moved to 9/26, but I guess the extra time will help me get mentally prepared for all the changes ahead. 😊 -

I'm new to the forums. I'm hoping to have my gastric bypass the week of September 18th. I see my surgeon in 2 days so fingers crossed. I'm going through all the emotions right now. I have a severe hiatal hernia and was only expecting to get that fixed, but after talking with my gastroenterologist and surgeon they both said the Gastric Bypass was the way to go. I hope I'm ready for all this
