    Hey I was wondering will we always have to sip drinks? For the rest of our lives or can you eventually gulp a nice cold glass of water on a hot day?

    Hi everyone, so I've been cleared by my insurance for surgery, just wondering what pre-lab work the doctor required from you and what your doctor sent you for before okay the surgery.

    I'm still upset but determined! I have set up all my appointments and should be able to see my surgeon 2nd week of July to get the final decision about my surgery and possibly surgery date. I'm hoping and praying

    Well I'm kind of bummed. I had my appointment the dr said bypass my not be an option for me since I had an incisional hernia repair with a large piece of mesh and the mesh would of caused scar tissue possibly to my intestines. He wants to do a sleeve procedure. Problem is my insurance does not cover the sleeve. So I'm feeling really bummed/depressed.

    Well. I saw the DR. I only have to do 2 nutrition appointments, a psych eval, and clearance by a cardiologist for surgery. The only issue is my insurance only covers gastric by-pass and my surgeon wants me to do gastric sleeve, due to an incisional hernia that was repaired with a large piece of mesh in my abdomen. Idk what will happen, I am feeling quite defeated.

    Thank you, I went to the orientation. It was very informative and they have an amazing support group. They say they are with you for life and make sure your well informed before surgery and after they are in constant contact with you. I'm very happy with this group.

    I'm hoping that I will be having my surgery around the same time, since I only have to do 2 nutrit ion appointments... I'll keep you all posted to my date!
  23. Michilingi
    That's great, what made you decide to do the sleeve instead?
  24. Michilingi
