Generally not unless you have some heath related problems due to excess skin and chafing.

I live in nyc.. And I'm waiting for insurance approval... They return doctors letter of clearance because of no date on it.. So I went to the doctor today and he fixes it .. Then I send it in to the surgeons office .. I hope it doesn't take long now... Because it took 5 days for them to initially response.. So since is already in process I hope is quick.. Cuz I took some vacation time from work next month so I hope I have it approve so I can use that time for surgery ...:(

congrats and good luck. I had Mrs. Dr. Fielding...lol. I'll be in the office tomorrow as a matter of fact. Just a regular follow up....I haven't needed any fills yet so I'm basically in and out at this point. I had a very good experience with the staff during the surgery and in recovery so I know you will do great. I stayed overnight and they took very good care of me.

      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.
