I had my surgery through Medicaid here in Michigan. Took about a week for the pre-auth to clear.

Hi Sheila, you can have flat diet pop, and alcohol, but be careful, some WLS people have absorption problems and are super susceptible to alcohol. You get drunk way faster and are more liable to get addicted to alcohol...just sayin'.

If everyone on the earth had RNY surgery, those statistics would all go way down. Lol.Eric

Tom, I couldn't laugh either at first. I even got annoyed with my wife for saying something funny that caused me to laugh, lol. I asked her to stop making me laugh and get serious until I healed up. Well, she told me to stick it in my ear, and I have been painfully laughing ever since!!

Thanks, Marge211, I will check into that. Eric

Right behind you, Jane. My surgery was 8 days ago. Still slightly sore (especially if I Sneeze, lol), and no energy, but things are getting better. I too have trouble getting in my water and protein, but do the best that I can. So good luck to you, happy weight loss, and keep drinking. :-)

As well as many other things, night sweats can be caused by low blood sugar. Try eating something about an hour before bed.

I want a medicine ball-ex large!!

Congratulations on you're terrific accomplishment, and for sharing you're inspirational story with us. I've just started my journey, but I hope to match you within 1 year. Life is definitely good. Eric

I agree with Pat, NanaG67, call you're doctor. It could get serious fast.

You're eating schedule seems fine, and I'm excited for you as well. Eric

Thanks Pat. I currently use gas ex generics myself. Doesn't seem to do anything at all, yet. So I will just wait it out and see what happens. Time heals.

Hi QueenJ9, welcome. I am 1 wk out from my GB surgery, and I was told by my bariatric center to go ahead and use a blender but put the finished product in the refrigerator for one hour to settle the bubbles, which can cause major gas pains. Hope this helps. Eric :)

Congratulations, Jenny, on you're upcoming journey. Good luck!!

I don't have any experience with sleep apnea, but during one of my visits to my bariatric center, Someone there mentioned that sleep apnea is often cured by bariatric surgery.

lol, it gives you added incentive to hurry up and get the week over with!

Time flies, NanaG67. You're surgery date will be here in no time. Wishing you the best of all luck!!

I was hungry right up until my surgery, NanaG67. And after surgery, you aren't hungry at all!!

Thanks, found this article helpful in my knowledge of post surgery maintenance.

Thank you, javajoy, I will be trying unjury products in the future. Need to find something that does not cause so much damn gas. Using EAS right now.
