 |  home again, home again, jigetty jig! I'm home and doing fine. I had a couple of days that were uncomfortable because I had this cough that I just couldn't get rid of and it felt like my ribs were going to burst if I coughed just one more time. We have that pretty much under control now so I feel much better. It isn't a smoking cough, or a cold, or anything the surgeon can figure out. It is just there with nothing coming up. Leave it to me to do something they've never seen before. Anyway, because I had to have my gall bladder removed too, recovery is a bit slower. I totally get it now when I read that someone can 'feel' their pouch. I thought that was funny but I feel it too. Weird sensation but I guess I will get used to it. I guess that's it for now folks, thanks for all the good wishes and prayers. I came through everything just fine. I will be back again soon. Hugs to all. |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   | YAY!!! You made it to the bench! we were saving you a seat. I hope that all is well. rest and sip. dont worry about anything else. the cough might be from the anesthesia. i was coughing a lot from the time i woke up until i went home. if you hold a pillow up against your tummy and then cough it wont hurt as bad  glad you are home and doing well

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Welcome home! I use my bariatric bear when I had to cough, which was a lot. They had me on breathing treatments; I had fluid on my lungs I believe from a cold I had been fighting. Anyway, I coughed stuff up though. Just get you a pillow and hold it against your belly.

| Super Moderator  | Welcome home! Congratulations on joining the Loser's Bench. (((((((HUGS))))))) May your journey go well. As for your cough, it may be from the anesthesia, but it also could be that your trachea was irritated by the breathing tube. Hope it goes away soon.
