Recommended Posts

I have had the crappiest spring/ summer. I have had both feet operated on-

battled positional vertigo for 4 motnhs ..

There is no exercisng and I have gained 6 pounds and am so po'd at myself .

I need a fill and our insurance REFUSES to help with ANYTHING that is lap band related .

I forgot to mention that last week I fell and broke my tailbone -- this was caused by the dizziness from the vertigo

Well, hey, at this point everything has bottom out.

I think, with your body healing in other ways, getting a fill and getting 6 pounds off should not be a concern. Your body needs extra nutrients to heal. Give yourself a bit of a break to let yourself heal.

Sadly, all the other procedures on your feet and your tailbone are probably what is keeping your insurance from clearing the fill... Check back monthly to see what sort of time frame it will be for the next procedure to be covered.

I'd focus on good eating, though. Calcium for the bones, the good stuff like that. A fill can't fix that stuff.

Are you in PT for your feet?

Would swimming with earplugs be out of the question to help the positional vertigo? I taught classes for people with inner ear issues that created vertigo, and practicing moving body from horizontal to vertical in swimming seemed to help. Also, swimming is great, very subtle cardio.

I am a self pay patient .. Drained savings to dothis .. our so called insurance refuses to pay anything .. even tho my weight loss has allowed me to come off type 2 diabetes meds-this crap insurance says this is an unproven.procedure.. BUT they do pay for penile implants for men on this insurance .

very frustraring ..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
