Wow thats great , i had mine yesterday and im dealing with the gas pain , ive been walking but it won't come out , uuuggh if it were not for this pain I'd be ok hoping tomorrow will be better Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App At the hospital they were giving me like gas drops for infants from the beginning and I really didnt have a whole lot of gas pain, Maybe try and see if that helps?

Two days post op and I'm feeling pretty great. Some soreness yesterday on two of the incision sites but I really didn't even feel the others. If you are about to get this done don't be scared it is not bad at all! The pain is so manageable! I'm very excited to be on the losers bench Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello everyone, I am brand new to all of this and would like to know what I need to do to get the process started for weight loss surgery through my insurance bcbs tx. I had a sister that had the sleeve done a year ago and she said the surgery has transformed her life. I want this only as a tool to get me where I need to be after many failed weight loss attempts. I have a little over a hundred lbs to lose and I know my insurance covers some of the surgery but If any one could give me some advice as to how to get the ball rolling on this and what I need to do I would greatly appreciate it!

I know the dr and I thought it would be mid November before we got the date so this was a great little surprise Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok everyone thank you so much! I took your advice and I just got approved for October the 17th everything went by so fast! Thank you for your advice!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok so I have called the insurance and basically I am going to contact the Surgeon of my choice since the surgery has to be done in a blue distinction center I have already found one that is 3 hours away and I would rather them do the approval rather than start off with a dr over here that may not have as much experience dealing with the insurance. Wish me luck guys!
