Topic: RE: Apetite suppressant and new diet

calories are an individual thing. I would lose on 1100-1200 a day, but some people on here maintain on that - and a few would even gain.

Topic: Apetite suppressant and new diet

So I went to my surgeon's office for my annual check and to my surprise after my foot surgery I'm only 2 pounds down in a year. I'm struggling with GERD and I feel hungry all the time so she prescribed me omeprazole again and an appetite suppressant. I'm also going to be scheduled for an EGD they want to try the stredda procedure for the GERD but bcbs of Il doesn't cover the procedure. So unless i have Barrets esoesophogus I will not be considered for revision from sleeve to rny. I'm ok as long as I can get relief. I'm praying that the appetite suppressant works. I also started a new diet I'm shocked that she put 1100 to 1200 calories is that too many calories? I never counted calories but one time post op diet. I think it was like 800 to 900 per day.

I'm not familiar with this rule and have been taking tablet medications before and after surgery with no adverse reactions.

Topic: RE: Pre-op Testing For VSG in Mexico- Question??

Hi

I had VSG with Dr. Alvarez a few months ago. If you take any meds, take them with you. Once you are approved and the nurse coordinator sends you the packet of what to expect and what you need to do before coming. If you call her, she will answer any questions. The morning of surgery they took blood, a chest x-ray, and weight. I was nervous too but really had nothing to worry about.

My trip went very smoothly and couldn't ask for better service. I'm very happy with my experience.
