Hello everyone,

I'm just starting to feel like a human again.  Man the surgery had me feeling like I was ran over by a MAC truck TWICE, picked up of the ground and hit again!!!.  But, I must say that today the pain is minimizing.  I have not had any pain medication since midnight yesterday (Smile you know what I mean).  Dr. Jawad is a professional EXPERT he's very impersonal, but definitely one of the best.  He said have preformed a combination on me... RNY/FOBI Pouch not sure what this means but I have no appetite at all.  It's gone completely.  I mean I see people eat in front of me and it does nothing to me at all.  Maybe it will come back but it not no big deal I will just eat enough to stay healthy.  I'm in the process now of researching some protein drinks.  Again I would like to thank Vicki B for all of her help.  She's one of my friends who gives of her self when needed.  If anyone have any questions please feel free to contact me.  This is the best website I've joined thus far so much information and knowledge is shared here.  Okay, well today, I'm going to try to walk a mile I'll let everyone knows how it goes.  Love you all, thanks for your prayers encouragement, and kind words.  May God bless you and keep you in His peace.

hello,
I am in the final process of my having my gatric bypass with fobi, I just have to have the light run down my throat july 13, I am freaking out so bad. I have to lose 20ibs before I have my surgery and I have hit a plateau. I dont understand why. All I drink is water and I excercise...Someone told me I am drinking to much water (5-8liters a day) but come on its the only thing that I can drink that has no calories. Please does anyone have any advice I just feel so bad cause I am trying so dang hard....Please help or give advice.....

LOL .. just sent you a hello for some reason I thought your surgery was friday, i worked saturday and the extra day threw me off. The any whey is at GNC, would it offend you if i prayed for you tomorrow ? :-)
it is a touchy subject and i dont want to step on toes but if its ok let me know ..

Well, tomorrow is the big date.  I have to be at the hospital at 6 am.  I asked that everyone keep me in your prayers.  I would like to say this has really been an ordeal. I want to thank God first because I believe that He determines our paths.  I also want to thank everyone who has supported me through these tuff times and last but not least I want to give a special thanks to Vicki B, she was an awesome support and big help in drafting my appeal letter.  I could not have done it without her.  Again, I can not thank you enough Vicki.  

Sincerely,

Yolanda  

Dr Greenbaurm submitted my paperwork to Aetna and they are saying it was rejected due to no proof of Nutrition or Exercise program, I sent an e-mail to Dr Greenbaum, when I had my RNY in 2003 I was at 440 lbs and went down to 200 lbs in 2004 and remained there until 2008 and the started to gain went to original surgeon she did the endcop procedure to determine the stoma had stretched and then I started gaining, I was hungry all the time isn't that enough for Aetna, it was not me I provided daily food logs, what do I do to prove I should have revised to DS. Help!!!
