I'm two weeks post -op today.  Up until yesterday I hadn't had to take any pain meds because I was only feeling slight discomfort. Well yesterday I started dry heaving and a little while after that I have pain again and had to take pain meds and they even seemed not to work. Now I'm soooo damn scared that something has happened on the inside of my body which we all know hasn't healed, and as of this morning the pain still isn't better. I have called my Dr. and I'm waiting on a call. I rather be safe then sorry. Also I can't get my protein shakes down they make me feel sick. ugggh. I'm waiting on a phone call back but I'm scared OH friends I'm just being honest.

Today was my 1st post op vist. Im a week and two days out. I was happy to get my drain removed but nervous not knowing what to expect. When the Dr pulled out my drain it wasnt painful just a weird feeling lol.....anywhoo everything looks fine and i have lost 12lbs thus far after surgery. I was so sick of protein shakes I havent been able to get then down. I let my Dr know and she said it was fine for me to blend in furits and yogurt ....... THANK GOD....lol I felt like I was gonna lose it.

Hello OH friends its been one week today since my gastric bypass surgery. I cant believe it. Im still having pain and taking meds. I make sure that im walking even when it hurts to. I was feeling so bad because of gas. I took some milk of magnesia and it felt so good to let go of all the gas. Im having a hard time on my liquid diet trying to get in the required amont of protein uggggh it seems like too much. I have been getting in enough fluids so im happy with that. Im hoping that things will get better soon. I widh I could afford some more protein that was unflavored. I just thank God for what i do have. I hope everyone is doing well. I made it to the losers bench im judt so excited and thankful. I still have this drain but i go see the Dr this friday and it will be taking out and im gonna be super happy about that.

I had been waiting since (July 12) to find out if I was approved by Medicaid for my surgery. On (September 11) I received a phone call from the patient advocate at Mission Weight Management and the Director was on the phone as well . I was approved. Thank you LORD...... My date is ****October 2**** and I start my two week liquid diet on September 18. I am so thankful for the lady at Mission who was very aggressive in trying to get a hold of someone when it came to my insurance. If it wasn't for her I would still be waiting.

well I am giving up completely . I was told that I would be done with surgery by July, It didn't happen. Here we are heading into September and I still haven't received a date. There isn't anything I can do because my Insurance company is completely "BACKED UP" No one can tell me anything....So with that being said It's time for me to find a job. The whole reason that I'm not working is because I wanted to wait until after my surgery. Since I have no date I have no clue when it will happen and I didn't want to Land the job I've been wanting only to have surgery before my 90 day probation period ends. Times are hard in my household so I'm moving forward with a job search. I am so very proud and happy for the people on this site. I see you all are doing great and that's very exciting. I am just extremely frustrated, and just beyond the hope of getting a phone call with a surgery date. I have been so excited with the hopes of ending this downward spiral of being extremely overweight, But all things come in time and I guess it's just not my time. So I am just going to try and focus on a job, eating better and walking and try to get my family life more situated. Thank you to all the few who spoke kind words I appreciate everything.

   

Hello to all my fabulous OH Friends . I hope all is going well on the losers bench. As for me I still haven't received any new news as far as a surgery date.My Insurance is behind and haven't even started on my prior approval. I am frustrated but there isn't anything I can do but wait, wait and wait. I am trying hard not to get my panties in a bunch....lol but it has been hard not too. I am wishing everyone the best.... some of you are doing so well and I'm so extremely happy for you all. Hopefully I will hear  something soon and be joining the losers bench as well. Have a productive monday.

Wow where should I start!!!!

I had my appointment today with the surgeon. He is going to do my surgery everything seems fine. I will be having RNY Bypass but the surgeon did let me know if for some reason he cant get to what he needs to for RNY Bypass then he will give me the sleeve. That's good news to me, because this has been a long process. So know its the waiting game. Pre- approval from Medicaid. 

As of yesterday Medicaid has a new system that allows prior authorization. So the approval time should be a whole lot faster!!!!! I can't believe it but we will see how long this takes.....

NOW IM SUPER EXCITED AND SCARED AT THE SAME DAMN TIME LOL

I reached my 5% body weight goal!!!! Today was my 4 th Dr. visit and I have completed everything even lost 5% of my body weight. I should be receiving a phone call soon with a appointment time to meet my surgeon.  I'm so happy!!! Once that's over all I have left to do is is get pre approved by my insurance and then my surgery date!!!! EXCITED. 

So as of Monday May 13th I have started my 28 day Journey to lose 20 lbs. I have my 4th visit with the Dr. and I need to lose as much as I possibly can ... I have been dragging my feet on losing this 5%.... I am proud to say that since Monday I have been using myfitnesspal.com and I have been recording everything I eat. I am also proud to say that I also started exercising using the Leslie Sansone's Walk at home (Walk This Way) DVD. It's a Beginner's 2 mile walk at a brisk pace averaging 4 mph. SO LOL just that one mile be kicking my AZZ I really have to push myself  but I do it and I thought I would be able to do the whole 30 minutes which is two miles but I can push myself to 1 mile for right now!!! SO my short term goal is to do that 2 miles....I'm just happy I am getting some type of exercise because before monday I was getting NONE.

28 days* 3 down* 25 to go*

I can do this
