Dr Vohra all the way The BEST

Dr Vohra was perfect Long Island New York

what country will have your cosmetic surgery? do you already know what doctor?

i am on liquids for a month i just wanted to see how long everyone else did liquids. i am also on nexium for 6 months.

i dont know if this has happend to anyone else but i am so ichy. i know it is not my soap. it just started like a day ago, it started off slow and kept building. i took benedryl and it did nothing. i know not being able to sleep happens to a lot of people but i have only heard of one other person having an ichy. does anyone remember what he possible reasons were for it??

thank you so much for posting this it is going to be so helpful when i am on solids. i am really picky on and off type person. i love something one day and sick of it the next plus i get bored easily.

i found out when they gave it to me for pain after surgery

many blessings

i have a very very similar problem and so i dont end up hurting myself one way or another i am not using a scale until solids. i am going to measure myself once a week always no more no less. when i start weighing myself it will only be once a month, if i can handle it. it is really easy for me to start getting depressed and crazy over my weight. i have done very well keeping all the disorders i have i check. i would love to weight and measure myself every second but in my heart i know it is not safe for me. i think it is something you really have to think about honestly and talk to your therapist and those who know you best. you might be doing fine with it for awhile and then have rough spots and need to change your plans and it is good to have honest feedback so you know when you need a change even if maybe you dont want to. i decided to focus on healing now and to stress the rest later. i monitor what i eat for what my body needs to heal and i get weighed at the doctors. the scale is just too stressful. i know i am losing because i know i am doing the right things with my time and energy. i monitor those things rather than a number because they tell the whole truth of what i am doing and what i can control.

my doc requires a full month on broth jello and optifast only nothing close to solid. then a month of mushies then soft solids. its not that bad now because i really dont feel for much. i get some nausea after anything goes down and i am scared to death of throwing up so i dont take chances.

i am excited and kind of scaredish type thingy a bit. my mind is going 80 miles an hour checking and re checking to make sure i am doing everything i need to do, should do, could do, might be good if, and just in case. lol i cannot wait until they give me something to relax. i would take a xanax now but i am hoping because i am not taking any it will hit me stronger when i really need it. lol i am doing everything i can possibly do now i just need to leave it in the lords hands. wow i cannot believe it is finally happening, i am having surgery to change my life forever. any last minute advise? please pray for me i need all the help i can get.

hey guys... it felt so good to sleep in my own house last night. it is not easy to rest in a hospital . i am doing well i am in some pain but it gets better everyday. i do get hungry mentally hungry but i think it is from boredom really and my family eating around me plus talking about food every second. i never noticed how much people talk about food until. even people who dont have weight issues, what i am going to eat, what did you eat, are you going to eat, do you want to go get something to eat , foof food and more food.oh well just a week or how ever long and i can have full liquidstat wont be so bad

there are way more people with food issues than there are people with fat issues. i am the only really fat person in my family. everyone else is average sized and they are not helping

liquids help sometimes Jello more so but it is harder when you smell the food you want

i didnt have it there i had in ny right by my house

i found out i am now allergic to morphine that why it hurt so much for me

i am doing well i do have pain tho i have six incisions only one hurts i think its because i was not really on a pre op diet. my mind is still on food it is only unbearable when i feel empty.

i dont even know where to start. i know some people get them to pay for the sleeve but i dont know how. it would be my first wls i dont know if that makes it better or worse. what do i have to do to get them to pay for it. what does the doctor have to do? i feel so lost. empire plan approved but they did not. they did not approve because it is invetigational. how do i show them that it is the best thing for me and that it has been around for a while. this is going to be hard. i dont even know how to research it.my eyes are bad so this will take me forever and a day. if anyone can point me in the right direction i would really appriciate it.

I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. THANK GOD IT WAS APPROVED. YAY:biggrin0::biggrin0::biggrin0::biggrin0::biggrin0::biggrin0::001_tt2::drool5::001_tt2::lol0::w00t:

i hate my life nothing is ever simple i dont know how to appeal it. i dont know how i can pay for it and i dont know how i am going to live like this. someone pleace tell to me something

thank you soo very much! i do think i have to try the appeal first too even though i dont want to wait. but i really dont have money and another loan would really mess up everything. thank you again.

thanks you guys. i am just so unhappy it was only 3 days before my surgery. i dont know if i should wait for an appeal. i dont know if i can wait at all my knees have really been hurting and in the fall i am going to be living on the third floor there are no elevators. ooh god i was really looking forward to lose enough weight so less people wil bother me. it is so hard to focus on my work when i am just so scared of being seen and some saying something hurtful.
