I have a 6 & 12 year old I am not saying anything. The day of surgery my husband will let them know I had a minor surgery and have to stay a night in the hospital. I grew up with a mom who had many surgeries it would give me extreme anxiety. I couldn't focus in school that day it was terrible. I just don't want them to feel unneeded stress. This is just my opinion for my own reasons I know others share it's a personal choice I think of what you're comfortable with for your family Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just returned from my pre-op visit. My doctor does not do the liquid diet pre-op & no endoscopy will be done before surgery I just had blood work & chest X-ray . I do have to wash with hi-bcleanse which they provided. Any similar experiences ?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What !! Crazy Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I felt this way & now i might not be approved so of course I feel the opposite lol write down pro's & con's none based on fear but actual facts trust me you will go surgery route. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you ! I will. I just keep hearing you can't appeal if it is a plan exclusion. I just don't understand why approve it then deny then approve & now I'm in limbo. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was approved by my insurance in October for VSG. I completed all the requirement's & this week went for pre-op testing, date all ready for dec 1st. Yesterday my surgeon call's to say the hospital submitted to the benefits office who state I have an exclusion under my employer Cigna plan. I then go ahead & call my HR who puts me over to advocate who calls the insurance ( Cigna) we are advised it is covered & they will resend the approval. I just don't know what to think ?? It seems there is an exclusion but they miss it ? Override it ? I don't even know exhausted at this point with this mess. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm December 1st too ahhhhhh !!! Sleeve buddy I'm also on the FB page Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The same thing happened to me. Download the app called Facebook groups. I didn't even know it existed (the app). Then you search Janus and it will pop up & once you join & the admin accepts it will be on your regular Facebook feed that's the only way I was able to find it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
