I think the answers to each of those questions varies depending on your insurance and what kind of Bariatric coverage they offer if any. My insurance covers Bariatric surgery so I had to do a 6 month weight loss program. Then they submitted and authorization to my insurance to have a consultation with the surgeon. Once I met with the surgeon and we chose which surgery I would have I then got a list of required medical testing I had to complete plus a class that was required by my insurance. Once all of that was finished I had to submit another claim to get the actual surgery authorized which it was. I started this process last August and I am scheduled for surgery June 13. It could have been sooner, around April, but I pushed it back. As far as a pre op diet goes, most surgeons do require a 2 week pre op diet but they aren't always 2 weeks of liquids only. Mine is 2 weeks of liquids for breakfast and lunch and dinner is a sensible meal. And then the 48 hours prior to surgery are liquids only. Like I said, most experiences will vary but that's mine and I hope it helped you a bit!

Getting sleeved with a baby
nennas_mommy replied to nennas_mommy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello everyone. I am the original poster. I did decide to postpone my surgery until June at which point my daughter will be almost 14 months. Now the obstacle I'm dealing with is my family giving me a guilt trip for wanting to wean her. I have just about 2 months from now to accomplish this and I feel it is totally doable but they aren't being supportive. 😕 -

I called my insurance today to check on the status of my referral for the consultation with the surgeon, and the surgeons office never submitted it! So of course I called them she she lied and told me that she submitted it on Friday. Now I am a week behind schedule... Sent from my iPhone

Submitted to insurance ...

I have Blue Shield of CA. I have not met with the surgeon at all yet. For 6 months I check in with either a nurse or a dietician and discussed how that month went. So now I'm waiting to get approval to see the surgeon and discuss my options. -
.... for authorization to have a consultation with the surgeon. I just finished my 6 month pre op process that is required by insurance and apparently I have to go through 2 authorizations. When I see the surgeon ( if that gets approved) we'll go through everything that's needed to get approval for the actual procedure. So that's kind of a bummer having to go through an approval process twice. Sent from my iPhone

Did you discuss the breastfeeding with your surgeon? -

She takes bottles now of pumped breast milk since I'm working full time but I do already struggle with supply and what about the meds? Was there an issue with that? -

I'm expecting my surgery to be February/March and at that time my youngest will be 10-11 months old. My husband and other family members will be around to help but I'm also breastfeeding and a bit nervous about that. Has anyone gotten sleeved while having a baby to look after? How did it go? Any advice? Sent from my iPhone -

I haven't been sleeved yet but I can tell you that a few years ago I went on the Mini Pill and gained 15 pounds in one month... Sent from my iPhone -
