Sleevedmedic replied to QueenAmandy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There are a few clear liquid proteins out you can try. Sunkist makes some in fruit punch and orange and grape. They have 24 grams of protein in only 2.5oz bottles. Then they have new whey comes in grape, green apple, orange watermelon and I think fruit punch it has 42 grams total. -

Yea I get my liquids in just pretty uncomfortable doing so but I just don't want to get dehydrated or anything so I just try to fight through the pain. Some times is worse than others. -

Well thanks so much I just kind of worried cause it hurts pretty severe some time. -
I was sleeved this morning. So far everything has went great. I woke up in moderate pain in the center of chest epigastric area. It was from the gas. My incisions are not sore at all. So far I have took sips of water and ate ice chips with no pain or nausea. The doctor said that everything looks good. I am just peeing my brains out because all the IV fluids. Other then that all is good

My wife is wanting to have gastric sleeve done and we just added her to my insurance plan this year. i was just wondering if anyone insurance had a pre existing clause and if so, could you have surgery if you completed all the requirements needed for surgery. if you have never been medically treated for obesity beforehand. Or if you had to wait to have your insurance a complete year before they would approve it.

But when I talked to the bariatric team over my insurance that approves the surgery they told me there was no pre existing clause so I don't have a clue. One person told me there was and another said there wasn't.
-
Well they told me it was a clause in place where she didn't have insurance for 2 yrs then I added her to my insurance and that they said there would be a pre existing clause on everything she was treated for with her previous insurance. That she has to have this insurance for a year. But I told them she has never been treated medically by a doctor.
