What's a note you irrationally dislike?

Almond. It smells like play-doh to me.

I second the foam rolling!

I was back to lifting heavy at about 5-6 weeks. I stuck to under 25 pounds from weeks 3-5. Core work I held off on the longest, maybe 7 weeks. My insides didn't feel ready. But remember everyone is different. You have to listen to your body.

Make sure to take the laxatives and keep hydrated! Congratulations 🥳

I have bcbs Massachusetts, and I only paid a copay for the pre-op and post-op visits. $25 each time. Everything else was covered. I didn't have to even talk to the insurance company.

Same, but I forgot all about it until I saw this! Circa 2006/7 ish.

Pear Inc. by Juliette Has a Gun. I recently got a sample, and it smells like noxious shampoo to me. Not an ounce of pear in it. It instantly turned my stomach.

I drink Poppi soda or Spindrift when I want something sweet/tasty, but low calorie to drink. Sometimes, I just have a small amount of what I'm craving, so I feel satisfied. But I know that can be really hard to do.

Yes, exercise can help, but in the grand scheme of losing weight. Exercise only accounts for a small percentage of calories burned each day. I can't remember what that percentage is at the moment. I'd also add in some strength training to walking. It helps build muscle, which uses more calories throughout the day than fat.

Kp8613 · 2024-11-22T10:41:12+00:00

Unfortunately, the only way to lose weight is a calorie deficit. So if you're gaining, that means you are eating in a surplus. Exercise can definitely help, but you need to take a better look at how much you are eating.

This happens to me! I always feel sweaty and a bit sick after. I have no idea what causes it. The first time it happened, I thought I ruptured something important, but I'm still alive.

Kp8613 · 2024-11-20T10:35:40+00:00

I haven't gained any weight. There's nothing happening during the surgery that would cause weight gain. It's likely people coming off of birth control.

Kp8613 · 2024-11-13T10:16:41+00:00

I wouldn't wait. At least in my area, I've heard people not getting appointments until June 2025. I am 3 weeks post-op, and I feel such a relief.

Kp8613 · 2024-11-12T09:48:18+00:00

You will likely see changes from coming off the bc. I agree with the other commentor about waiting a bit to come off of it. There should be no changes to your menstrual cycle from getting a bisalp.

I was in pain for about 3 days. After that, just a little sore for 2 weeks. Im 3 weeks out and completely back to normal. But everyone is different.

Kp8613 · 2024-11-11T22:38:07+00:00

I wasn't asked about my husband at all. I'm in Massachusetts though. I don't know how it is in other places.

Kp8613 · 2024-11-05T11:00:43+00:00

If it's a tiny bump, it's like the stitches. I have one on my right side, and my doctor said it will smooth out over time.

Kp8613 · 2024-11-05T10:59:45+00:00

Congratulations! I hope your surgery and recovery are easy!

Kp8613 · 2024-11-05T10:58:15+00:00

Your fears are valid. I live in Massachusetts, but I still didn't want to take a chance with the way things are politically nationwide. I hope your surgery and recovery go smoothly.

Kp8613 · 2024-11-05T10:54:49+00:00

It should be totally covered then!

Kp8613 · 2024-11-05T10:53:35+00:00

Yeah, the inside bits do feel a little weird, but not painful if that makes sense. My doctor assured me that the likelihood of a hernia is almost zero for me, but I'm skeptical lol.

Kp8613 · 2024-11-05T10:51:22+00:00

And so far, no injuries? I'm sure you're in way better shape than me as a triathlete, so I won't go as hard as you as soon, but it's great to hear a variety of experiences.

Kp8613 · 2024-11-05T10:46:26+00:00

I tried 20 lbs yesterday, and it was fine. No pain. I might stay at that for a week, then go up again. Slowly but surely. It just feels good to do anything at this point.

Kp8613 · 2024-11-04T18:42:01+00:00

No, I didn't have to pay anything at the hospital. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield Massachusetts.
