You'll be fine, just don't drive & don't drink alcohol.

I'm a GI Tech & have had an EGD, you should go to a doc that uses an anesthesiologist instead of a councious sudation nurse to give meds. With anesthesiologist there's no reason you should be awake or rember anything.

Did anyone have the Q Pain Ball after surgery? If so, what was your pain level? Did it really help with pain or did you have pain anyways?

Do u mined me asking how much u lost n 3 mo. to get to 140 goal & how tall u r?

Whats the difference? I was told I was by insurance i was approved but now I have to wait for predtermination & preautheration?

What's everyone taking for calcium CITRATE?& where are you getting it? Anyone found any that taste good?

One month for me from doc appt, NUT appt., & physic Eval & insu approval. I hope to have surgery in another 2 to 3 weeks. But my friend it took her 6mo.

Have blue cross blue shield of Texas, My stuff was sent to them for approval over a week ago & I haven't made time to call them yet. Any tips on how to BuG the insurance company to get a faster response? What should I tell them if I call them several times a day like I've seen some people have?

IDK on how you check it but I found out yesterday that i was approved on 3/2/12. I've left 4 messages for my doctors scheduler to call me so I can get my sleeve scheduled & no response in 3 days. I'm getting upset I'm gonna call tomorrow & demand someone talk with me.

Will I Really NOT Be starving for food? I'm worried that after I get the sleeve, that I'll still want all of the junk I eat now & I'll stretch it out & not loose weight... Guess I'm just nervous.

Tx mini, I don't see online bcbstx where I can check that?? I only see claims from doc appts. Can you tell me how todo it online?

I am only days away from insurance approving my WLS on 01/31/12 I had to have foot/ankle tendon surgery & I'm in a cast known weight baring until 03/30/12 then I'll still be in a walking cast for 4 more weeks after that then a walking boot for 6 more weeks. That puts me in the middle of June before completely recovered. My WLS Doc says I can do it in my cast but I'm still unsure. I really really really want to have the WLS but then again I don't know if I'll be able to get around if my abdomen hurts after the WLS. I do get around on a scooter right now instead of crutches, so that part has made it easier. Anyone have any thoughts or has anyone been in the same situation??

Glad to hear I'm not alone. Even though I know it would be easier to wait, I kinda want to get it all over with while I'm down already, but then again I don't... IDK I can't make my mind up. I guess I could wait 4 more weeks until I'm able to put my 280lbs of weight on my foot but then again if I have it done next week then I have 3 weeks to loose 20-30lbs off of the weight that's put on my foot/ankle?
