I had a Vsg revision to bypass on 03/23 I’m feeling okay there’s more pain this time around. I am able to sip liquids okay but the purée are not sitting to well. They’re waiting on signs that my bowels are active again then I should be discharged.Good luck and speedy recovery to all March Surgeries 😊😊

Yaay surgery day is tomorrow
sugabear_440 replied to sugabear_440's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello all, Surgery went well, I stayed in the hospital for two days due to severe nausea. I went home the third day, in a lot of pain and very tired I'm about 10 days post op and all is going well. I'm down 19 pounds so far, I am still struggling to get all my Water and Protein in. I have been on full liquids since my discharge from the hospital. I have a check up tomorrow I'm hoping to be moved to puréed foods soon. Thanks for you prayers and well wishes -

????????I finally got the green light to go ahead with my surgery. I'm nervous and excited all rolled into one I feel like this is a dream and that someone is going to wake me up lol. I've had so many set backs with iron deficiency and low blood levels, but by following my physician advise I was able to turn it around. Please everyone keep me in your prayers during my procedure tomorrow. Thanks in advance ????????

Low iron/ hemoglobin levels
sugabear_440 replied to sugabear_440's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Well unfortunately, they have delayed mine until June 26th a whole 24 days after my schedule procedure. So frustrated and disappointed -
Unfortunately I'm being rescheduled for a later date... But good luck to all of you hopefully I'll be joining you soon

Hi all I've recently had my final blood work done prior to surgery and they found I have low iron/ hemoglobin levels. I was put on Iron supplements and had my levels rechecked and they haven't risen appropriately. So my experienced sleevers will this delay or stop my surgery?? I'm so nervous I've scheduled time off, and turned in my paperwork for time off

Yay, I'm June 2nd also finished all my preop stuff just finishing last week at work so excited and nervous Good Luck everyone

sugabear_440 replied to Ambwee's topic in Insurance & Financing
Is that upfront or billed cost? And do you have basic or standard? -

Ok I've been following this thread for a while and I have been approved and my surgery date is June 2nd. Did anyone have to pay anything up front or were you billed for it later? I'm really nervous about last minute cost -

After months of setbacks, frustration, and stalls I'm finally moving forward June 2nd is the date that will change my life. I'm excited, nervous, and scared but I know this the best decision for me. I wish I had made it sooner and not wasted most of my adult life morbidly obese.

Delayed surgery date rant
sugabear_440 replied to sugabear_440's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
thanks everyone, I'm just a little frustrated with how it seems as if I'm nearing the finish line just to be sent back to the midpoint. I'm want to start my journey and not just keep sitting on the sideline. I met a young lady at my initial consultation 6 months ago, I recently went in to have labs drawn and she's already 3 months post op. We have the same insurance as well, I know our cases are very different but it's just a little disheartening to see where I could've been by now without all the delays... -
So I've finished all my prerequisites for federal BCBS and all paperwork was approved. The last step was a sleep study, I thought no problem I don't have sleep apnea. My husband told me I snored by I have severe allergies and thought it was attributed to that. So sleep lab calls and says I have very mild apnea. Has anyone ever heard of "very mild apnea?" So I am now being required to start a 3-4 week cpap compliance before I'm even given a surgery date. Uggggh so frustrating, wouldn't losing the weight eliminate the need for cpap in the first place?? Has anyone ever had this type of ridiculous delay??

How do I check claim status for fed bcbs
sugabear_440 replied to sugabear_440's topic in Insurance & Financing
Ironically I just got a call from a nurse coordinator and she told me I was approved... I have mix of emotions right now, happy, nervous, scared, excited wow just wow -
Hello all I've read a lot of you all saying that you can check your claim status to see if your surgery is approved or not how would I do that? I have finished all my requirements for surgery but haven't heard anything from my bariatic coordinator
