Good afternoon..... I am 3 weeks out today for a revision from my lap band to the RNY.  I am having a very Hard time getting my vitamins and my protein in daily.  I am so nauseous that I can hardly put anything in my mouth. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really need help.

Hello Everyone -

So I was banded in June of 2007....almost 10 years later I weigh almost twice as much as I did when I had the lap band.  It wasn't an effective tool.  After some soul searching & a life coach, I decided it would be best to pursue gastric bypass surgery.  I was set to go & getting appointments out the way.  However, I was out of work and on Medicaid.  I started a job almost a year ago and unfortunately, they do not offer WLS under their health insurance.  I've been still going to my appointments with the faith that next year I will have a new employer that will offer WLS as an option.  

I'm reaching out to you all because I don't want to apply to companies that don't offer it under their health insurance plans.  I would appreciate if someone would respond by stating which employers you know FOR SURE, that offer WLS under their health coverage options.  

Thank you so much....

I have an infection in my leg from a car accident. It's been rescheduled for November 10th. Thanks for asking! 

Thank you sooooo much.. I will check it out.. This last episode was awful.. 

I'm on FB page called "Black Girls Get Sleeved Too!"  It's a great page with lots of conversation and all types of topics.  Search it and ask to be added.
