Waiting for insurance approval. How long is it going to take 😫
naynay77 replied to Erin18's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I had to do 3 month's of weigh-ins and a psych eval. After those were completed, I had blood work, chest x-ray, and EKG to complete. Once all the results of that were completed they scheduled me for a Endoscopy. The doctor's office called me about a week after the Endoscopy results were in and they told me that they were submitting all my paperwork to the insurance company. It took another 3 weeks before I received the call that I was approved by the insurance company and the surgery was scheduled 3 weeks later. -
Looking for my December 2022 Surgery Twin

I would try to eat sugar free jell-o each day that I was on my liquid diet. It would help me with the need to chew. My sleeve was on 12/2/22 and I'm doing well. I still forget to give myself enough time between bites or sips. Once I started soft foods my weight loss stalled. I'm still a bit sore but I'm mostly fine. -
scale isn’t moving but body is changing
naynay77 replied to KimA-GA's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hope that it heals up soon for you. I'm only 10 days post-op and though the scale hasn't moved much (in fact when I got home from the hospital I was about 2lbs heavier), I found that my slippers are lose now and I can finally wear my wedding ring again! I find that I wake up every morning and my stomach looks different almost daily, the swelling goes up and down in different areas. I'm so grateful to this forum. Anything that I'm wondering or concerned about I just put it in the search and I can find information on pretty much everything. -

Looking for my December 2022 Surgery Twin

I'm also on December 2nd. I'm so nervous and excited. I think it's about all I talk about with my husband. -
Hi all! I bought the LiquaCel unflavored protein in preparation for my surgery on 12/2/22. I was hoping to be able to add them to broths or soups in order to get more protein during the liquid phase, however, they are really sweet to me (no flavor but sweet) and I'm pre-op so I'm concerned that they will be even more sweet after the surgery. Does anyone have a recommendation for an unflavored protein, even if it's powder that isn't sweet?

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it.

I don't start mine until the day after Thanksgiving 11/25/22. My doctor's plan seemed to be a bit different than some that I have seen on here. He only requires 1 week. I've already cut back on so much though. How's it going for you?

Thank you! I have my last pre-op appointment tomorrow also.

Mine is scheduled for 12/2 and I'm a bit nervous about it too. Not really second guessing my decision but hoping that I'm one of the one's who doesn't have much pain, etc. I started my journey in June. It seemed like one delay after another and then I finally got my surgery date just to find out that I had to have another EKG done because mine was originally done in August. I found out today that the new one was abnormal (the one is August was normal). So, I'm waiting to see what I have to do next and hoping that everything is ok and that I can get clearance to have the surgery.
