Just got the approval call! May 4th!
raquel_c posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all! I received the call and May 4th I'm getting sleeved! Any other May Sleever's? Maybe we can create a support group? -
Hi! I was curious if anyone can offer any insight on pregnancy after being sleeved? I've been looking for information online and have been unsuccessful. Thanks!

Anyone tried Celebrate vitamins
raquel_c replied to lauragp74's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I couldn't tolerate the celebrate vitamins...I'm using bariatric advantage. I am stuck with the celebrate vitamins, I've got 89 days of celebrate vitamins left. -
I am almost one month out and I've noticed a HUGE difference in my bowels. First of all, I used to go every day, now I'm going every three days. Also, the stools are so hard and almost painful...is this normal?!

Thanks everyone! I'm hoping when I can add more to my diet, this will be a thing of the past ???? I have smooth move tea but haven't taken it, I will have to change that.

Definitely keep in touch! I'm hoping someone will make an FB page or something so it will be easier to stay connected ???? -
Hey All! I need some advice. I'm scheduled to get sleeved May 4 and I have my pre-op appointment April 29th. I don't have a liquid diet either. Has anyone else ever experienced this? I do want to follow some sort of pre-op diet, I was advised to continue what I've been doing which is 1200 calorie diet and low fat...which doesn't seem enough for pre-op diet. Thanks for any advice!

How long does authorization take?
raquel_c replied to JacksdadShane's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are right about that! Waiting for the approval was nerve-wrecking! -

How long does authorization take?
raquel_c replied to JacksdadShane's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have UHC too! It did take 6 months for me as well. I had 6 appointments with my pcp, a nutritionist visit and a psych evaluation. I started the process in Oct of. 2014 and was approved at the end of March. Hang in there, it will be worth it! -
That makes me feel better! I still am thinking about a week of pre op diet.
-
No I'm not self pay, my insurance UHC is paying ???? I called today and she said no. She said if my bmi was in the 50's they would but I'm in the 40's. I want everything to go as well as possible, Im going to google some pre-op diets and follow one of those.

I would like the code! -
Silly as it may sound, it's still a concern
raquel_c posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi All! I know this may sound silly to many but even after all the research and the assurances...having surgery is scary! I've never had any sort of major procedure or surgery except having my wisdom teeth removed at 17. I know this procedure is considered relatively "low risk" but death is still a variable. I'm having this surgery, there's definitely no backing out for me but it's still scaring the sh*t out of me! -

raquel_c replied to raquel_c's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are so right! I want all these things, that's why I want I'm going through it. I have no idea why the surgery scares me, from what I've read it's more likely I will have post op complications than during surgery. Thanks so much for sharing, I appreciate your response so much. My fear will not get the best of me! ???? -

Post operation....what's everyone drinking?
raquel_c posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As of now I have been drinking these in place of soda but after surgery this is a no no. What does everyone drink post surgery to mix up the Water?
