NeedaBreak4Me 1,755 Posted May 14, 2016 I was thinking that is awesome..but rare lol.. i was watching every morsel that i ate, didn't eat any junk, nothing processed or any sugars and i gained weight.... hence why i ended up getting the sleeve... I think i reset my metabolism by eating little for so long, that whenever i ate, no matter how healthy and clean i gained weight. I am losing slowly compared to virgin sleevers, but i am losing which is a start. Its frustrating but any loss is still a loss.. which is progress Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewMeBefore40 27 Posted May 15, 2016 Wow were twins! So if you don't mind, how much have you lost? I'm so scared I'll go through it all, have problems and still not lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeedaBreak4Me 1,755 Posted May 15, 2016 Yeah i know!! I had my sleeve done on the 20th April and have lost 22 pounds (10kg) so far.... but i have been very sensible with my eating and physical activity... my focus is on healing right now. I know people lose much more during this time, but i am also considered a "lightweight".. so weight loss will generally be slower than someone who has more to lose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol. Good luck to you. I'm anxiously waiting to see if my insurance will cover it or not. I get a different answer each time on whether it's covered or not. :/ so emotional.

Epo-VSG 3 Posted May 15, 2016 I am taking "Active B12 with L-5-MTHF" lozenges from Seeking Health brand. Why wouldn't you just add it as a supplement? Sent from my Nexus 6P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope your insurance approves it, keep me posted on how you go I will let you know. Hope to hear next week. We submitted without psych evaluation just to see if it comes back that the surgery will be covered with psych. I don't wanna pay another $140 just to find out its not covered.

Sent from my Nexus 6P using the BariatricPal App I don't seem to improve levels with oral supplements. I'm currently doing injections of methyl b with methyl folate and an additional hydroxy b injection. Those have helped a lot. But I'll be changing insurance any my doctor doesn't take the new one. At 400 per appt, I won't be able to go back to her for refill. I think we will have kaiser and I've not heard good things about the more holistic approaches with kaiser. Closed minded was what friends have said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
