Supervised Diet
VSG_PurpleButterfly replied to AC8311's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I didn't have that issue with my appointments. After my initial consult, my office scheduled all six of my supervised diet appts at once to ensure I was on the books. They were strict about making sure there were 30 Days or 4 weeks between each appt or it wouldn't be sufficient for United Healthcare. However there were no number of day requirments from the first appt. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920AZ using the BariatricPal App -

Internal bleeding after Gastric Sleeve Surgery

I'm surprised they did not keep her overnight. I haven't had my surgery yet, but most people were kept a day or two for observation. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920AZ using the BariatricPal App And sorry she has to go through that. So unfortunate Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920AZ using the BariatricPal App -

1st Psych Eval Tomorrow 12/13/16
VSG_PurpleButterfly replied to Krystyneh's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I spent more time filling out a bubble answer questionnaire than actually speaking with the Psychiatrist. She was friendly, asked about my background- including history with weight, failed weight loss attempts, did I understand the surgery and complications and did I have support at home.
