Anyone losing weight on the liquid diet ??
-
So I’m literally on my first day day out if 21 days of liquid diet and I am thinking to myself what In the world did I get myself into. How did you all survive this period!! Im barely on my first one and I’m dreading it. Lol
-
Well guys it’s August!!’ We have got this! Best of luck! and keep everyone updated! I just started my liquid diet yesterday!
-
So I am scheduled for the first surgery of the day! Is that good or bad? I’m nervous about it. What was your experience on the time of the day for you??!
-
So I am done with all my appointments and test, my info was submitted to atena in the 2nd. Every time I call it’s pending. What are they looking for? Why so long. How long did you all have to wait for an approval and what insurance did you go through?
-
Well I just got an approval! So now I’m just waiting to be scheduled for the surgery! 🤗🤗🤗. The waiting game is not fun!

I’m not sure if I’m the only one but I just do not get how insurance works. I know that I have to pay my deductible first before they start to cover anything. So here is my insurance stuff and hopefully you all can explain. I have spoken with atena but I’m still not positive about it. So my doctor is in network. My deductible is 1500. In network annual co insurance is 3100 including deductible, out of network deductible 2675. Out of network co insurance 6250. So from what I understand. Once I reach 3100 of paying my cost. They cover the rest, as long as in network? Thanks for reading guys!!

From what I have read, a lot of people get the sleeve! I need to lose over 150 pounds. I also have pcos. I know that the vsg might take a shorter amount of time on the table and it may extend over time. Also I heard it can cause acid reflux to become worse. The issue with the bypass, the dumping syndrome. What are your thoughts? What made you decide to do the surgery you picked? Thank you.

The one thing you could not live without post surgery

Did anyone find it difficult to sleep in bed? Or would a recliner help for the first couple of weeks? -
Sooo I am meeting with the my doctor soon. He will be performing my surgery. I have a few questions that I am asking him. I am hoping I am not forgetting anything. What questions did you ask your doctor or wished you asked? Anything will be appreciated! :)

Thank you all! Great questions, adding to my list!

Anyone have success with losing weight after having surgery
susunorm posted a topic in The Gals' Room
Hello all, I’m new to this forum, I’m now in the research part of my journey. I have pcos. I found out that I had it when I was 19, I’m currently 27. Married and no kids. We have been trying for years but no help. My current weight is 305. My question to you all. Has surgery helped with losing weight? Are you losing fast, slow? Thank you so much. -

Thank you all so much for you feedback! I think I now have an idea on what I want to do. I will talk to my doctor and see if he also agrees! -

Thank you so much for your response! That’s what I’m scared of doing, by getting the sleeve and it not working. And having to do a revision. You are strong for going through the surgery more than once! ❤️ -
I have Pcos and I’m in 3 month process before my surgery can be schedule. One of the reason I’m having the surgery is to be able to have kids. Live life to the fullest
