June 13,I think you are right. Thx -
I'm sitting up watching TV. Taking walks whenever possible, siping water & chicken broth. All in all feeling Better than OK. Have a little discomfort with gas---but I'm working diligently to get the gas moving around and out. Gas X strips are my best friend & the heating pad. Best of luck to all you new sleeves.

Newbie To Forum, Let Me Introduce Myself...
Artsy replied to kmoore's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome! I just had my surgery yesterday & I'm resting at home. Wishing you the very best with your journey. Keep us posted. -
My doctor's office called me right away upon approval & I received a letter in the mail. It probably wouldn't hurt to call UHC.
-
I have UHC too. Once my paperwork was submitted, they came back wanting a sleep study and a psychologist report. Then once my doctor's office received that information, it was 4 days later I got the approval.

Awesome! Sammie how long did you take off work because you job requires standing up most of the time. -
Cali I would call the chiro anyway. There might be something he can with you sitting down or standing up. All the best to you. Let us know what happens.

33.5 Hours Until Surgery
Artsy replied to blondegal1978's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thank you all. Just got off work and moving into my surgery pre-paredness mode for tomorrow morning. I'm packing very light. I'm not nervous yet--that will probably happen when I put on the hospital gown and get on the rolling bed with the little curtain divider. I will report in with you all tomorrow or Wednesday. -
