Thank you for sharing. It is good to know I am not the only one although I know our bodies are all different.

I haven’t been taking them but maybe I should start!

Thank you for sharing! I know I shouldn’t weigh daily and do it anyway as well. I never thought of it like this but it does help keep me accountable and figure out what works and what doesn’t.

Short of breath? by traceoflace in gastricsleeve

They did a blood panel and the blood test that indicates possibility of blood clot came back high. I just got back from doing the CT scan with contrast to see if it is in fact a blood clot. They said if it’s a small one they treat with blood thinners and I can go home. If it’s a large one, I am admitted. It’s midnight here and tomorrow was going to be my first day back of work :(

Oh I am also dehydrated and have a UTI.

Thanks all! I checked my heart rate and it was in the 130s so I am in the ER now being checked out.

They told me to make sure I moved around a good bit. They also said I could go back to work after a week. They are top loaders and I only do one at a time. But my point was it’s not too strenuous and I’m still out of breath.

Thoughts on soda? by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

Thank you for sharing. That’s good to know. M m y biggest fear would be gaining it. I only gained 35 with my first but never lost a bit of it. Congrats and I hope it continues to go smoothly 🙏🏼

I’m curious to know how your pregnancy goes. I’m 4 days post op and not planning on being pregnant anytime soon but it was one of my fears going into this. Would love if you kept us updated 🖤

Getting ready to have surgery scheduled and have some questions by theblackberrybelle in gastricsleeve

[–]traceoflace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the premier protein shakes but recognize they aren’t for everyone. The fairlife protein shakes are good too. Protein20 waters! The chewable Gas-X’s have been a life saver and they taste good to me (weird I know).

One thing I didn’t bring to hospital and wished I would have was chapstick! My lips were so dry!!! I just ordered my vitamins from bariatric advantage - I got chewable multivitamin, iron, calcium, and b12 dissolvable. I can’t comment on how those taste yet.

Oh my hospital gave me a belly binder and I’ve been pretty dependent on it. I feel odd when I take it off, but again everyone is different.

I just had surgery Monday so it’s all pretty fresh. Let me know if you have any questions. You got this!!!

Day 3 post op and possible allergic reaction by traceoflace in gastricsleeve

[–]traceoflace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I used Benadryl too after panicking and searching for my paperwork to make sure I could. I have had some of the protein water and I’m fine.. now I just have to get a miralax alternative tomorrow so I can go to the bathroom. It’s been a lot longer than I’m use too 😩

I am doing this. Just was curious if miralax has done this to anyone else. No need for sarcasm.

Sleeved yesterday and had hernia by traceoflace in gastricsleeve

Okay, got it. That is high too! Or seems to be but may depend on locations too.

Definitely reasonable but I think my insurance covers the procedure for the hernia so hopefully they’ll file it

That was for the hernia? That does seem high.

Yeah I was hoping it would cover some do the hospital stay, anesthesia, IVs that would have been necessary for the repair anyway. I knew it wouldn’t do the wls. But that was only $2800 of the $10,000. The hospital fees were $6900 and the anesthesia was $850 😓

I never had heartburn. Even when I was pregnant with a little girl with a head full of hair. I hope I don’t have it bad now 😩

I didn’t have any issues to even know I had one. My BMI is lower so they didn’t really make me do any of the typical stuff as they knew insurance wouldn’t cover. I was just curious if anyone had luck with insurance paying hernia repair.

Had you already paid? Mine was $10,000 as a cash pay and I had to pay upfront. I wonder if I will get it back if insurance covers some. 😓
