Waiting for my insurance for approval
tkd259 replied to thickskee's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Fiusha, I don't know why your insurance won't tell you! I pray for all of you waiting for approval. That was one of my big fears, along with denial, but I was REALLY blessed and mine approved while my Drs office was on they phone with them submitting my info! -
I'm going to Rex
-
I started with Southern Surgical on Greenville, but after not hearing from them for 6 weeks, I switched to Bariatric specialists in Raleigh, with Dr. Tyner.
-
Eastern North Carolina also, Princeton. Where are you having surgery?
-
Snow, where do you live?

I have lost 7 lbs in 2 days on this LRD, but I feel really week and nauseous. I am able to eat 3-4 oz of lean protein and 1 cup of non-starchy veggies at night for the first week of the 2. Then only shakes. Ugh! I have always had a problem with liquids on an empty stomach.
-
I just started today:( The shakes are making me nausated and I don't really like jello but I am trying to eat it. I have surgery on the 20th, I hope it gets easier!! Teresa

Good for you!! Go Girl!! I have my rny Dec. 20th. I pray I do as well!! Teresa

My nut said after 2 weeks, I can have caffeine, only 1 or 2 cups a day!

Need Some Encouragement (This Is Going To Be Long)
tkd259 replied to Vicki Loichinger's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats! I haven't been on here for a few days and started reading from the top. As I read, I was guessing that they may do both at the same time. I am glad for you that it will all be done that way, only one to recover from! Hugs and praying for you! Teresa -
Is there anyone on here or anyone that knows anyone who is still diabetic after rny? I take a truckload of meds for diabetes and am praying to resolve this problem when I have my surgery on Dec. 20th. Thanks Teresa

How did you all do on the liver reduction diet? I do not take a fast acting insulin, all mine are long acting, and I am worried about crashing! My dr told me to stop taking all meds! That is really scary for me! Thanks Teresa
-
Praying for you!! Remember to get rid of that gas!! Teresa
-
Great!! Congrats!! I was so worried that mine wouldn't approve it and was totally amazed when I was approved the same day that my surgeon submitted! Mine had to be submitted verbally on the phone. Teresa

My First Post-I Am Crawling Out Of My Skin
tkd259 replied to Linda9009's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Congrats!! The waiting is finally about over!! Teresa -
What they want him to do is to shrink the liver. I will be doing that for 2 weeks prior to my surgery on the 20th of December. My Dr. said 3 shakes a day and 3-4 oz of lean meat and 1 cup veggies at night for the first week. Then just 4 shakes and all the shakes have to be made with Water. I don't know if I would add any food, even an egg to the menu. I am not looking forward to it either, but if I want to get the surgery, it is what I have to do! Good luck!! Teresa
-
Please add me to the Dec. list!!! Dec. 20th Raleigh, NC. Dr. Tyner! So excited!

Wow! I am so shocked! My surgeon submitted to my insurance company yesterday and it was approved while she was on the phone with them!! Now all I am waiting for is the sleep apnea titration to come back to schedule an appointment with surgeon to set surgery date!! Amazed! -

You had your surgery Monday right? How's it going? -
I don't have on yet:( Just finished all my tests and 6 months of pcp visits. Hoping by the end of the year! Thanks Teresa
-
Looking good!! Congrats!!
-
I am an apple shape, I carry all my weight in my belly area. My legs and thighs are slim. Was anyone post op built like that? My surgeon said that I will get the most out of this surgery because of my build, but I have heard that stomach area is the hardest to loose. Just curious. I am also diabetic and very insulin resistant. Thanks

I don't live there any more. We moved to North Carolina 5 1/2 yrs ago.

I just saw you are in Indy! I am from a little town 35 miles east of Ft. Wayne, in Ohio. Been to and through Indy lots of times!!

Thanks Vicki! I take Victoza in the am along with ameryl & metformin. At night I take both those and 130 units of insulin. It's crazy!
