Do things taste different post op?
attitudefree posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have heard that for many people their taste buds change after surgery, and food doesn't just taste the same. Have you found this to be true? -

Does your insurance cover both the bypass and the sleeve? -
I am considering the sleeve- a friend told me I could never have any alcholol after the sleeve. Is that true- no more wine....at all?

Lap Band vs Sleeve
attitudefree replied to attitudefree's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am kinda disappointed. Two weeks ago I was told my insurance paid for either the band or the sleeve. So I read and researched and decided on the sleeve. Today I went to the Dr they said insurance "sometimes" payes for the sleeve but always payes for the band and gastric bypass. I just don't want the complications of the band, so keep your fingers crossed for my insurance coverage!!! -

I have had weight issues my whole life and tired of trying diet after diet. I am 90% decided to have the lap band surgery but just curious if anyone regrets having had the surgery? -
Is there a way to find out how many sleeve operations a Dr has done?

I am deciding on lap band surgery and want to understand the post op diet. Do you have to give up caffeine? And what is the diet like after you can eat solid foods-- is steak out all together?
