Where is everyone from City & State
DRoseman replied to TammyLee66's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That was me. I am currently looking into Dr. Pleatman and Journeylite and Fort Wayne based on everyone's suggestions. I do appreciate everyone's input. Thank you all so much! D.R. Potential Sleever -

THE BIG NO NO's of what never to eat or drink after the sleeve.
DRoseman replied to 2017Warrior's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
One of the reasons (the biggest) I'm choosing the sleeve over RNY is because I REFUSE to give up coffee and soda. I will cut down on soda and coffee and refrain from them during the healing process, but I will not go the rest of my life without either of them. Lord help me! Don't take my coffee away!

Are there any insurance companies that DON'T require 6 months of dieting prior to surgery? D.R. Potential Sleever
-
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts/experiences. My PCP is not keen on it either. She feels that the 150+ pounds I need to lose can be done with just diet and exercise. I've been there and done that! I gain it all back plus more! I didn't know that our PCP had to give their approval for surgery. I'm not sure mine will. DR Potential Sleever

Anyone from Northwest Ohio/Southeastern Michigan?
DRoseman posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is anyone from my area? I'm from NW Ohio and I'm contemplating VSG. I just want to hear from people near me who've had WLS and what surgeon you recommend. I've narrowed it down to Dr. White in Toledo or Dr. Lalor in Bowling Green. DR Potential Sleever -
Any bedside nurses here?
DRoseman replied to nursebb's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm also a bedside nurse and wondering the same thing. Thank you for asking! Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -
I broke down and got secondary insurance.
DRoseman replied to Gypsystash's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is an exclusion on my plan and I think it is also on my husband's. I too am looking into secondary insurance but I would have to get an individual plan. Is that what you did? DR Potential Sleever -
It is a definite exclusion on my plan, im going to double-check with my husband's employer but if it's an exclusion then it will not be covered no matter what. DR Potential Sleever
-
I am considering Gastric Sleeve and my insurance plan at work lists it as an exclusion. I was considering getting an individual plan as a secondary to help with the cost. Are there any individual insurance plans that cover WLS? DR Potential Sleever

Is anyone else buying and trying protein drinks, mixes etc pre-surgery?
DRoseman replied to BunnyJean's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just started trying them pre-op too. So far, I've tried Muscle Milk and Premier and they both have a funny aftertaste to them. I'm gonna keep trying different ones. I hope they all don't have that weird aftertaste to them. DR Potential Sleever -
Hi all, I was wondering how long all of you were off work after your surgeries? I work in a hospital and do a lot of heavy lifting. I would like some idea of a timeframe. Thanks. DR Potential Sleever

Down 134lbs since sleeve surgery

You look amazing! What an inspiration! Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -
I'm pretty sure it's excluded from my husbands plan also. All of the plans available to me at work lists WLS as an exclusion. DR Potential Sleever

I forgot to mention, I live in Ohio. DR Potential Sleever

Has anyone here had a TT and then went and had WLS years later? I'm almost 7 years out from a TT and I'm considering a VSG. Will I be as successful as those who have not had a thyroidectomy? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

TT (Total Thyroidectomy) and WLS?
DRoseman replied to DRoseman's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you! I'm ready to do this but I want to know that it will be worth it. I KNOW it will be worth it, what I mean is that it will be worth it because I don't have a thyroid. Thanks so very much! And a big CONGRATULATIONS to you on your weight loss! Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app
