SleeveandRNYchica

I just heard back from my insurance coordinator everything is finished. I just have 1 more weigh in. Early September. She said it takes 10-14 days for approval. I hope to have the choice between two Blue Distinction centers. So I am thinking I may be scheduled before end of Sept!

Or if you mention female surgery! But that may not work in teaching field because most are women. I work with mostly men and that shuts them down. But I agree tell them it's personal. People might think it, but most would not ask! I know I would never. I say most because there is always that one, that feels they should know the ends and outs of everyone else's life.

I would agree. My csection was way worst especially the 2nd one compared to my sleeve. I felt some discomfort of course on day 1, but was up walking around. My csection was tough, I couldn't even get out of bed by myself for at least 2 months. This was last year, so the pain is not a distant memory lol! I also had my tubes tied so not sure if that increased the pain.... But I remember thinking, my 1st csection didn't feel like that 9 years ago!

Do you enjoy participating in these forums? This has gone way to the left.

Amazing! A day of no chub rub is enough to make me shout. Good for you! To feel normal, something that seems so simple, but means all those many things you write about. The feeling I think we all long for. Happy for you, thanks for sharing.

Yeah I am dealing with a coordinator but she is challenging doesn't return calls or emails. I am done with my requirements I go to see my PCP tomorrow and will be sure everything is documented for me so it's more that just lack of weigh loss even though that is an issue too. I don't think the coordinators understand the revision process in total.

I don't know if the insurance coordinators are presenting the facts as revision due to other medical issues....

I didn't think it was an option because of my insurance & because I live in a semi small town & never knew 1 person that had it done let alone where to go. It was all unknown. Oh no I was not judging you. I was trying to understand someone else's comment if your situation. I understood what you meant.

I went back and read your post 3x did I miss something where you posted your were a drinker? I thought maybe you thought the surgery was not an option for you because of some of your other medical concerns, not your lack of commitment. I wish you the best!

. And you will get there!

You have had great results! Keep up the hard work.

How's your recovery going?

I vote other. I had no complications immediately post surgery. I am know dealing with late term complications to include a twisted sleeve, hiatal hernia, and terrible Gerd. My nexium now gets stuck. Everything gets stuck! I am revising to RNY soon.

Wishing you the best and welcome!

Good for you! U look awesome!

This has been the week of internet for dummies.

Okay your joking or trolling????

Not everyone has similar experiences. I have to very much watch what I eat. I am glad that concept works for you. I just hope you know surgery is not a one size fits all. We all have different experiences. May I ask are you a guy or gal and how far out you are from surgery?

Now you know where that phrase led us the last time LMAO!

I totally understand. You are still early out. Triumph in your accomplishments thus far. I would not worry about people noticing because in truth their opinions really don't matter. I would keep track if the positive changes that way when looking for clothes and say you are in between sizes, you can relish in your other accomplishments and know that some negative feelings are temporary. It is like through this journey we are always beating ourselves up. People get to goal then we are consumed we have loose skin. Give yourself a big hug, you just took a major step to a healthier you.

Do you notice? How are you feeling? I should edit to say physically? How do you feel lighter? Can you walk up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath. I was there! It is frustrating. I wish someone had said to me what are some positives that you are feeling?

Congratulations! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I read through it in its entirety, as well. I'm as confused as most of you. As difficult as it might be, all members must be polite at all times. Rudeness is not tolerated and can lead to post removal or account suspension. I wasn't picking anyone out. I just see the direction this topic is headed.I am not sure Alex. I really thought she wanted me to contact her to fight. I think she may have been talking to me about PM'ing her. But it really made no sense. Not sure what she thought that would bring....

I think you are starting in right place. I am glad I didn't wait longer. My symptoms are worse everyday. It is still a process due to my insurance requirements. I started in April and hope to have revision surgery by late Sept, early Oct.

Go see your surgeon. I had a EDG and barium swallow. I had additional complications discovered with those tests
