I am 8 days out and had the ambulance to my house yesterday because I just about passed out my sugar levels dropped and I'm not diabetic my body just needed some calories and natural carbs. I've been adding it and I feel better and still lost weight. I'm down 21lbs in 8 days.

He was awesome! The office staff was great and on their jobs to get me approved! I was sleeved Oct 5th. Dr.Baptista gave me his personal cell phone number and told my husband to call if he had any questions or if I had any problems. I am walking around doing great haven't had any pain medicine since I been home. Memorial hospital was awesome. Joni was my nurse both nights she was really nice and willing to help. Anyway she could. If they had to call Dr.Baptista he responded very quickly!!!! Much <3 -

valdostaGA posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is it selfish of me to have surgery and my kids are sick? My parents can take care of them its just that i'd rather me or my husband be with them when they're sick:( I don't know what to do:( -
I have them and was approved in a week on the first try. As long as u meet all of the requirements they usually approve. Do u have any ER, walk in clinics or anything that u went to in the past. What's your bmi?

Bcbs Insurance
valdostaGA replied to CottonCandyGirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If your insurance require it, u have to do it, or u can do self pay. Do u have any dieting that u done that was documented by your provider? BCBS most of them require a 6 month medically supervised diet. Meaning through a doctor. Some will take dated pictures or programs like weight watchers. -
Gastric Sleeve On October 5Th
valdostaGA replied to cmayfield85's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey! I'm Oct 5th also 10:30am -
Does your policy have an out of pocket max amount? Mine has a 5000 OOP Max but I've met it all but $1100 if u have an OOP max balance the insurance pays 100% after u pay the OOP max on your policy for healthcare through out the year. The best thing to do is call your insurance company.
