Calling all March bypass surgery dates!
Soexcited replied to Soexcited's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
My date got changed! It's 3-7 now!!!! Counting down!!!!!! -
I think that you should not drink at all. At 2 weeks out that your even thinking about it is a red flag in my opinion. I went through a 6 month support / educational class before my insurance would give me my surgery date and all I ever heard when we spoke about alcohol was "no". No more, none, never, full of empty calories and bypassed people have a very high chance of becoming alcoholics......just say no!

Calling all March bypass surgery dates!
Soexcited replied to Soexcited's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
We have a lot of March bypassers!! Whooo hoooo! I have 3 weeks to wait, and after 6 months of classes so my insurance would pay for it 3 weeks still feels like it will be a longer wait!! -
Normal from what I hear!! It will be a good month before your energy is back.

Vitamix/blenders after surgery?
Soexcited replied to RollingRing's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Ive heard no blending right after surgery! It adds to much air into your drink so if your doing it close to post op, let it sit to get the air bubbles out before you drink it. -

38 BMI and only 75 to lose
Soexcited replied to claddagh66's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, I had the band placed in November 09 and removed October 15 so this is the last time I want to go through wls. Ive heard of people bypassing the sleeve and I dont want anything but the strongest surgery I can get. I will have to check out that site obesity coverage. Com but I've heard from many sources youll loose more and faster with bypass. -
