Is that normal??

Can gummy vitamins be taken after surgery or strictly chewables?

May 31st!! 5 day liquid diet!!

hey everyone! i just had my first appointment with the surgery and everything went really well! I just have a few things i need to get signed by my PCP then i can submit a claim to my insurance. I'm just curious to know what chewable Vitamins everyone suggests for after surgery. ive looked at some of the prices on them on the Bariatric Advantage website and the pills seem a little pricey. Does anyone have any low cost suggestions??

That calms me down a little. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm so nervous. My first appointment with the surgeon is this Wednesday and my period is about to start! I blow up like a balloon! I'm afraid I'll be above my starting weight. Do you think the doctor and insurance company take that into consideration?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What exactly does the first appointment with the surgeon consist of? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ugh. I've worked so hard for this to be denied because of a technicality. I'll be calling the insurance company to verify what they need and what I have. Thank you for your input. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

On paper I have all 6 required physician visits but I noticed my doctor doesn't take the best notes . Do you think the insurance taken into consideration that that is not my fault? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm getting a little nervous now. I was down on myself during the holidays. I was with my boyfriends family who are all super fit and I kept wondering to myself "why did he choose me" so of course I ate my feelings. I'm sure I've gained a lot. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Also, does Aetna require any other testing? Bc I have my 6 months- 1 year visits and a 40 BMI. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Finding_Stacy that's actually pretty funny. My original first apt was march 20th so I changed surgeons too. For something so serious I don't know why so many questions are left unanswered. I feel like its a learn as you go type of thing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@moe_2175 that's so awesome! I have Aetna as well. I have 6 months of visits with my doctor so I'm hoping to walk in on the 11th and submit to the insurance that day. I'm hoping bc I have everything together I can get a surgery date scheduled and get my life back. So Aetna didn't require any extra testing for approval? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
