Yes. I had sleeve surgery on April 18th and I have that same off and on pain on my left side. I don't believe it's a leak though. I've been following the rules and I'm not 100% sure but I believe things would be a lot worse if there was a leak. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Wow congrats @Ashoryb. I know it's been a long time coming for you. So glad Cigna finally got it right! Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

It's going great. Been praying and staying focused on the ultimate goal so I haven't strayed at all on the diet. I haven't been hungry but was worried about how the weekend would be with idol time but no issues at all. Can't tell you how grateful I am for that. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

It's my pleasure. We have the same date. Just keep yourself busy this week and it'll be April 18th before you know it! Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

@@tiffanymarie6997 just checking on you. Hope the liquid diet has gotten easier. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Definitely not dehydrated. I drink all day long. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Is this normal? I drink 3 chocolate premier Protein shakes and liquids all day. Nope...I have NOT cheated AT ALL and I have no reason to believe I'm bleeding internally. Could this be old fecal matter being pushed out by all the liquids? What's your experience? Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I have acrylic overlay on my own nails. The receptionist at my surgeon's office told me it was okay just no polish. However, I'm going to triple check at my pre-op appointment. Better safe than sorry. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet and it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. What's working for me right now is keeping something to drink in my hands, having sugar free Jello, and staying busy all day. By the time I'm done, I honestly don't think about eating which is a shock to me since my entire life has been controlled by food. I just pray I can stay strong on the weekends. I also stay reading post here, watching youtube videos, and searching instagram #vsg. It's very motivating. @@tiffanymarie6997 we can do this! Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I don't want the millions of questions and people offering their unsolicited opinions. Therefore, I'm saying gallbladder removal and hernia repair. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

@@Hayleyhehe Oh wow...you're actually working the morning of? You aren't joking about keeping busy lol. What time are you scheduled? I have to be at the hospital at 5am and surgery is 730. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

@@tiffanymarie6997 I start my liquid diet tomorrow as well. I had a weird dream last night about it and I'm starting to panic a little. The only "plan" I have is to take it one day at a time so I've packed my schedule for the next 2 weeks and hope being so busy will help the days go by a little smoother.

Forgot to mention that I'm definitely praying things work in your favor! Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

@@Ashoryb they shouldn't be asking for all of that. Seems like they are going out of their way to be difficult. What they asked you for is not even a part of Cigna's requirements...smh They should have to answer for putting people through this mess! Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App
