Recommended Posts

Hey guys.... Things are going great. I go for my one week check up tomorrow. My first night was my worst, but I had no pain meds. My friend picked up my scripts and thought the phenagin was pain meds so she was giving me that I stead of Percocet . :-( today is day six and I'm walking a lot down to two pain meds a day. Stomach is still swollen but it looks great. Thanks for all your well wishes. Will have pictures soon

One other thing.... Does you stomach still feel kind of numb

I'm not a fellow tummy tucker but am very interested. I've had 3 kids, 2 Cesarean and now have to get a Hysterectomy soon, was thinking of doing the TT at the same time since the healing timeframe is about the same for the most part. I was wondering about the cost of this type of surgery? Does insurance cover any of it?

Mine did not cover. I paid 8800 for the TT. I put it in a no intrest credit cars for the next 15 months.

I am feeling great today. I would equate it to the c-sections and not they hysterectomy. That was a breeze and so was the gallbladder and LB. my stomach is still swollen and it fills a little tight. So tomorrow is my one week. Will keep you posted

      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.
