Hi Maryvsg87, just wanted to give an update. My surgery went well. I was released from the hospital Thursday evening. When I woke up from the Anastasia I was in so much pain. They have been giving me dailada to control the pain. I'm still struggling trying to reach my water and protein but I'm taking it one day at a time. I've been told that the first week out of surgery is the hardest but after that you will be feeling so much better. So I'm just trying to stay focused and not have the feelings of "what the hell did I just do to myself ". I totally don't regret it but I'm just so tired of feeling like crap. My doctor did prescribe me with a whole lot of medicine to control being Nauseated and being in pain. I have oxi and Tylenol for my pain. The oxi makes me sleep all day. And the Tylenol doesn't take all the pain away. I will definitely keep you updated on how things are going. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I totally understand how you're feeling because I feel the same way. I also have a recliner. I'm in it majority of the day. I keep my pillow next to me but I'm just uncomfortable all the time. Mentally right now I'm ok. But I do keep getting thoughts that this was a terrible idea. But again it is all the emotions of being in pain. After this stage I will be 100% sure I did not make the wrong choice. I'm definitely going to fight and hang in there.... Well at this point I technically don't have a choice lol [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

OMG so far it is. I'm glad to here that it will get better. Right now my mind is telling me what the hell did I just do to myself. But I've heard that some people does have the "buyer's remorse" feeling. So I'm pretty sure I'm going through that right now. Thanks for your response I truly appreciate it.

I was sleeved on 9-12. Surgery went well. But I'm just in so much pain. It hurts to drink anything. I'm still on all liquids and I don't even want that but I know I have to get it in. I absolutely hate the way I'm feeling right now. I just can't wait for this stage to pass. I feel so miserable right now [emoji21] Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

So the "coordinator" said it was unlikely for you to be approved. Sounds like to me she's not doing her job. A coordinator job is to help you stay on track with meeting your requirements fo r your insurance. Him/ her gathers all your paperwork work and submits it to your insurance company for approval. Your coordinator has no right to make a pre judgment on wether she THINKS you will be approved or not. Th e coordinator are not the ones who approves you for surgery. And you are correct as long as your BMI is o 40 or over uo u do not need any cormobilities. I would advise you just to let your coordinator know that you still want your information submitted to your insurance company and let them tell you that you are denied. And if you are you can ask questions. Ask them why a d what do you need to do to get approved. I would not accept what th e coordinator is telling you. Sometimes if you want something for you have to do it yourself. Everyone does not have your best interest at heart...... I wish you th e best of luck on your journey.

Thanks everyone, I had a talk with my husband today, he apologized. He said he didn't mean no harm by it. But I was sooo pissed off lol....So far it's been going good. I have been a little hungry but I have been keeping myself busy at work and drinking a lot of water in between my protein shakes to keep my self full.... This is the first time ever I have been excited and looking forward to (my one low calorie meal a day) healthy choice dinner when I get home lol. Thanks for the kind words and support I truly appreciate it. [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Today is the first day of my pre-op diet. I am supper nervous. I just don't want to fail. Last night is when it hit me that I actually have a food addiction. I was dreaming of food smh. This is just ridiculous lol. I got mad at my husband last night because he was talking about what I can't eat on our vacation coming up. SMH this is going to be a journey. Wish me luck everyone.

Congratulations, I'm September 12th [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I would recommend to call them. Just ask that you are calling to check the status of a claim that was submitted. Let them tell you it's pending approval and why, then asked them if there is anything that you are missing that needs to be submitted. Then they will explain to you whats going on. Just act concern. I went over my Dr and called my insurance to check the status. I knew before my Dr new that I was approved. It could possibly be approved they just haven't reached out to them yet. It won't make matters worse at all. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had to do 6 consecutive months. My first appointment was a consultation as well and that visit went towards my 6 months. So your last appointment should be in September. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

OMG, I am so sorry to hear that. If you don't mind me asking, why did it get denied? I would call your insurance company and ask, " I understand my claim was denied so what do i need to do so that my claim is approved" ask a lot o f question and be persistent about it.
