Coffee during liver Diet?
Marissela replied to Marissela's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks everyone I'm so scared I'll be very irritated with the liquid diet and no coffee...I probably will murder someone lol..although I love coffee I might reduce the amount... Sent from my 0PM92 using the BariatricPal App -

Marissela replied to kembfly's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
On the opposite side.I have told everyone and I'm glad I don't care what people say...I just polity tell them it's my decision and it's my body....if is hard to find some supporters and I did find one person who supports me highly (my sister) she is even thinking of the surgery for herself too. I'm OK with hearing people's opinions but I won't tolerate negativity, it's already hard to deal with our own emotions with the surgery but you do what best for you. Think positive and stay away from the negativity. I wish you the best of luck. I'm scheduled to get my surgery on May 31....good luck to us all Sent from my 0PM92 using the BariatricPal App -

How long before sleeping on your Tummy
Marissela posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like to sleep on my stomach..any idea how long it will take after surgery/recovery, when I will be able to do that again? I know everyone is different but if you are a stomach sleeper like me I would like to hear your experience. Thanks Sent from my 0PM92 using the BariatricPal App -

Very nervous and scared now. I was told by the doctors office that they were going to submit to my insurance for the approval and it could take about a week or so for a reply. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. Sent from my 0PM92 using the BariatricPal App

So I did all the testing and I was told last step is meeting with the surgeon on Thursday. Does anyone know what exactly you review with the surgeon? I'm very nervous and anxious to what happens in this step. Sent from my 0PM92 using the BariatricPal App

Meeting with the surgeon Thursday
Marissela replied to Marissela's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never met with her before but I think I was told that the surgery date may happen during this last visit...I hope your right because I have everything else done....I just wondering how the surgery date gets set if I haven't seen an approval from my insurance yet. I guess only time will tell Sent from my 0PM92 using the BariatricPal App -

I meet with the surgeon on Thursday. I was told it's the last step before actually submitting my information to the insurance. I'm very anxious and hope the insurance replies soon..thanks for the reply. I'm very nervous and not very many people around me understand Sent from my 0PM92 using the BariatricPal App

Submit to insurance
Marissela replied to clerkstar841998's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did all the testing and am waiting to get approved now. It makes much more sense to get approved first so that we don't waist time or money. Ugh I'm so nervous I'm praying that the approval comes through Sent from my 0PM92 using the BariatricPal App -
Did anyone's doctor use the Robot?
Marissela replied to Nycgirl75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's when the surgeon uses a robotic assistant to perform the surgery. Usually the Davinci Surgical System. It's really neat, once the incisions are made and tools placed, the surgeon controls it from a separate station. It can be controlled with extreme precision, and the surgeon doesn't have to keep looking away from the instruments to watch the monitors, so it often results in faster healing and less pain. I actually could see the robot that my surgeon used for a minute, right before they put me under. It looked so cool! Thank you. I will definitely be asking my surgeon if she uses this system.
