    IVC Filter

    baileyj908 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My sleeve surgery is scheduled for December 18th (pending insurance approval). On December 10th I have my IVC filter placement surgery. Was wondering how many people have had the IVC filter placed. Not really sure what to expect...

    December sleeve

    baileyj908 replied to meganmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I also was sleeved in December. I'm able to get in about 700 calories (sometimes less and sometimes a little more). My nutritionist wants me to increase to 1000 soon. HW 331 - SW (day of surgery) 303 - CW 236.

    The hospital billed by insurance for almost $79,000. They paid a portion to the hospital after the agreed upon amounts. I was only responsible for $200 copay.

    My insurance requires 6 month weight manage classes. I was wondering how many of you have to weight manage classes also and lost weight. I'm worried that they will say I don't need the surgery since I lost weight. Just curious and wondering what your insurance said - I'm starting to worry (only have 1 month left)

    I was sleeved on 12/18. I had my first preop appointment on 12/29. I had lost 21 lbs from the day if surgery. From 12/29 to now I have only lost 1 lb. Is this normal? I started soft food but feel like I should still be loosing something. I'm getting frustrated.

    Frustrating :(

    baileyj908 replied to ilovemyhusband's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Same here. I was sleeved on 12/18. I lost 21 lbs the first week and half and only 1 lb the last only 3 weeks

    I know it's a long shot - I am looking for some kind of protein powder drink that actually taste like vanilla milkshake. Like a melted milkshake taste or as close as possible. Any recommendations?

    Prior Abdominal Surgery

    baileyj908 replied to Emma73538's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Possibly not want you want to hear...but I was in the hospital last week to have an ivc filter placed. The man in the bed next to me was scheduled to have the sleeve surgery. They actually were not able to do his surgery because there was too much scar tissue. They didn't know until they went in. They opened him up with one incision and put in a camera and stopped once they saw all the scar tissues.

    I was approved. Surgery is this Friday.

    What hospital are you having your surgery at? I'm at HUP on December 18th

    Any December 15th Sleevers Out There?

    baileyj908 replied to GeorgiaPeach65's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    EVER?

    baileyj908 replied to rosebud_char's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I have heard that has happened. I was in the hospital yesterday getting the IVC filter placed and the person next to me in recovery was actually there for the sleeve and when they started it they had to cancel because of too much scar tissue from previous procedures

    My surgery is on the 18th so I also will be on the liquid diet.
  24. baileyj908
    Update - Dr office sent me an email - im approved. I am supposed to start 2 week diet on Friday. My cava filter placement is scheduled for Thursday the 10th and my surgery is scheduled for Friday the 18th. The only thing I'm missing? Approval from my insurance. My doctors office finally sent it over to my insurance. Here's to hoping for a quick approval. Fingers crossed.
  25. baileyj908

    Approved!

    baileyj908 replied to Chelle Bean's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Congratulations Chelle Bean. My insurance actually emailed something to my Dr office
