Smh how absolutely ridiculous. Well yeah I'd definitely looking into appealing it as someone else mentioned. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Thank you!! I definitely will. This forum has been super helpful for me. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Did you have high blood pressure or something else that made you decide to do this surgery? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

So I'm only pre-op but I had this same question. It was a resounding "don't do the band" it apparently comes with a lot of issues and surgeons aren't performing them as they once were. Of not the sleeve, may be just do bypass? . Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I hope every surgeon has the goal of making sure you heal and don't have any complications post-op. A balanced diet is a great goal down the road, but right after surgery protein and fluids are critical --- even if it is hard, or you don't have an appetite, or don't like the taste, etc. One 11 oz protein shake spread out over three days and less than 8 oz of Fluid a day is not enough for anyone post-op. I can't imagine any surgeon advocating that diet as a good strategy for anyone. SMH Of course a single shake and that little Water is not enough, but to assume that everyone has benn told they must get 80g of protein a day etc is ridiculous. My surgeon focuses on good nutrition from day one, that includes all food groups and not a focus simply on one macro. My surgeon is highly skilled and respected where i live and id prefer to listen to him than those on forums in regards to my best interests post op Your response was so rude and almost childish. If you prefer to listen to him, then why join the forum?While you should heed what he says, his body hasn't been through what yours has. Also noone stated that what they said was law, just gave tips on how to approach getting in liquids and protein. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App I responded to the OP in the fashion they wrote the original post. While i agree most surgeons have not been through surgery it us just as damaging to say you should be getting x amount of protein per day. This amount is very dependent on the individual and there are risks to having too much protein in your diet Ithink you took it the wrong way. I read it and was glad for the information. This is the type of situation that warrants tough love. I've come across some posts here and elsewhere that really leave me concerned. Where people try to make excuses for what they eat and drink. This forum has been very helpful for me and I'm only pre-op. I've come to value the input and comments from others. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Thank you and you as well. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

It's really on the Dr and his office. They should know where and what is accepted for each of their patients. Why submit an auth knowing you practice there, but you aren't credentialed at the site to perform her and surgery. He'd get paid but not the facility. My insurance approved less than 48 hours. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Have they tried getting an auth for the facility? I get why it was denied, but it should be an easy fix. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

So my coordinator told me if I want to do bypass I can, but I'd have to wait until August. Then I looked into it more, and I've decided to stick with the sleeve. Although it's like why not, I know it'll be approved and what's a couple more weeks ???????????? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Isn't there a way to help with the dumping though? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Lol I threw up severely for mines. I would look at food and throw up. In and out of the hospital...lol but I ended up with a pretty cute kid so it balanced. I called the coordinator, waiting to hear back. Don't wanna lose only to possibly gain back. My surgeon tried very hard to talk me into band, told me I'd gain all the weight back. That I'd stretch my new stomach. That the band was better, easier. ???????????? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App You should be hearing back soon. I'm a ball of different emotions. Good luck!!! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

As long as giving birth involved a ton of drugs, then yeah I'd have to agree. My BMI is 41. I'm 5'3 230. He was really pushing me for the band, which after asking on here almost everyone told me not to do it. I'm gonna call the coordinator and see if I have the option Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
