honestymm replied to talkalot1981's topic in Insurance & Financing
Im also a miltary spouse with tricare and all i needed was a referral from my pcp, i went on may 15th and had my surgery on June 10th was quick tricare approved on may 27th..i had to get all the preop testing, blood, ekg, stress test, pulmonary fuction test, chest xray, shrink, nutrit. was at my surgeons office..my surgeon actually said tricare is one of the most fastest approval and i had no other health problems besides being obese..works for me check into it -

im not cheating nobody but myself and its not work it pretty soon it will be mushies i told my husband that i can't wait to eat some pureed ham..lol its seems like a meal fit for a queen..im sticky to it..i got some other kinds of soups like chicken noddle and just strained it..the chicken broth got old by day 3-4..i also added sugar free fudge popcisles dont know if i could but the calories and stuff aren't much different from the fruit sugar free popsiciles that helped..but dont worry bout the applesauce just keep doing what you suppose to from now on out and remember y it is we are all here

lap band pain after surgery
honestymm replied to andy343858's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
like most of you i was also banded on june 10th,,the first 2 days i slept on the sofa but then i went to bed, first night (day3) slept on my right side then last night was able to move from side to side slowly, my only pain is near the port site just the pulling and stinging like feeling that stops when i put my hand over it when i walk..doesn't hurt at all when im sitting or bent over..gas i still have it but walking helps most def.. -
thanks again to all you guys, just wondering ive been looking for things or signs i mean im doing everything right by the book but just wondering what exactly causes erosions or slippage,,and what are the warning signs..everything feels just as it did on the day of surgery by means getting better of course..
-
So i had the sils band yesterday im feeling pretty good can't really complain,, a lil sore and a lil gas but overall i can't complain to much..just wanted to see if anyone else has recent surgery and how are they feeling.

hi, i myself have been on liquid diet since june 9th, banded on june 10th, im not really having an appetite for nothing so i just use the sample menu the drs gave me and i don't even get that much down..my main goal is taken my vitamins, getting 3 protein shakes in a day which fill me up and drinking my 64 oz of water my main thing is i know ill lose the weight if i contine to do right thats my goal right now.."EAT TO LIVE, DON'T LIVE TO EAT"....thats my focus if you feel hungry just remember y ur doing this in the first place..drink more water to fill you up,,go take a walk,,play a game watch a movie..more or less its ur mind not ur appetite..
