Ya I almost picked up gas x today, I saw someone say they took some to the hospital and were glad they did. I wanna make sure sure I get the right kind ( strength wise) don't wanna overwhelm anything. I am def gonna get some vitamins and I guess order some protein shakes. I figured Ill also pick up some sugar free jello and tuna and cream soups like some are talking about. I guess Ill be good to go then. I am hoping I can return to college after about a week.

Oh cool, Ill have to check it out! Thanks!

Ok great thank you!

I found it, it pretty much talks about stuff to take to the hospital. I was mainly wondering what to buy for when I get home. Since I prob wont be getting out right away. Things maybe some people wish they would have got or did get and are glad they did. Food, shakes, vitamins and what kind. that sort of stuff.

Ok thank you. I do have a sample of the ckn soup one from unjury. Maybe I am jumping ahead but I don't think I will be able to nor feel like getting out to get these things after surgery so that's why I am asking..lol Figured I better start shopping now!

Wow, thank you! I sleep on the couch right now because I am in between beds at the moment. I do not have a recliner but will def check sales! Did you stock up on protein shakes or anything before surgery? Im not sure what to get. They said to buy some now and try it so I would know what I like but I can not afford to just buy a bunch of them. I am planning on getting the bariatric vitamins.

oh thanks I tried looking for one before I posted this but didn't see anything. I will look again.

I know what you mean, I have been at this since Feb and I just got approved! Now waiting for my surgeons office to let me know if they can get me in before Jan, apparently my surgeon is a very busy man! lol

I am in college and we only have Christmas Eve and Christmas day off, but Im planning on taking about a week off and just doing my work at home then going back sooner than expected because all we do is sit and learn, lol Good luck with all your stuff!! YAY

Thanks! I am still waiting for a surgery date. My doctor is the only one in the area that also takes Medicaid so he is swamped. Im hoping before the new year though!

Thanks, that's what I keep telling myself, at least the rough road is over! even if I do have to wait till Jan, at least I was approved!

I was finally approved, took forever it seems. I was so worried about my 5yr weight history since tow of the years my BMI was under 35 with no comorbidities but I got approved!! I am so happy and still waiting on a date. I was told a month ago that my surgeon may not be able to get me in till Jan but I am waiting on a call back now to see if he can get me in this year. I can not afford any more copays to go and see another surgeon.

Thank you, Im crossing my fingers for you. You are lucky to that you can have it done this month! I wish I could!

Thank you all!!! I am very excited and I am crossing my fingers too! I guess he is so busy because he is the only WLS in the area that takes Medicaid, I didn't know that in the beginning or I would have chosen another surgeon. I have been calling his office and they said they are shifting appointments to try and fit everyone in before the new year, seems there are a lot of people wanting their surgery before the deductible sets in again. I know for sure though that it will definitely be either this year or the first of January, as long as Im approved Im not gonna complain!

a written letter from insurance? I don't understand. I just got approved and called my surgeons office 2 times today to see if he can get me in before the beginning of the year but of course they don't call back..maybe tomorrow! I do not wanna switch surgeons!

thank you!!! now waiting for a date!

I WAS APPROVED!!!!!!! God I was so worried. Don't know why this ia all underlined but I don't care...im approved!!!

that is weird, I thought you had to pass everything and see an NUT first before insurance even approves.
