ohh wow thats so smart to check if the surgeon where the hospital he is affiliated with takes my insurance…how did i not think of that.
i am just scared the doctor wont submit the correct documents for cigna to approve me just because of the comment he made how i would be a great candidate but if i had To pay out of pocket could i. Im tempted to see another place but that may be foolish of me?
did you have to stay over one night?
the guy i think i want to go with also said as long as you are eating a balanced meal, you dont need Vitamins and ive done so much research that contradicts that

Im curious because I havent had the surgery yet but do you ever get hungry just eating 800-900 calories

Hi guys- after debating for 6 months and meeting with someone about the esg and then someone about the sleeve, i am deciding to go with the sleeve. I am 255 and my normal weight is 150. Im 33 yrs old. Ive shopped around and seen 2 surgeons and I am scared that neither are good enough even though i mean they both have good reviews. I compared the referrals they gave me and one wanted more blood testing done than the other, etc. One does the egd the same day as surgery. One office admin. Was more responsive but my gut was telling me to go with the other surgeon. Im not sure why.
the surgeon i want to go with (im now indecisive) said if my insurance wont pay for it can i? I have cigna and meet the requirements but now am scared they arent going to submit the correct paperwork to have me approved. The surgeon i decided not to go with wrote up a much better referral.

im seeing all the dcts and have a follow up mid august- what happens after that???

I ‘m one who doesn’t. Stopped them with my surgeon’s approval at about 8 months. Mind you I only had to take a multi Vitamin from my surgery & a Vit D for a couple of months. Had very regular blood work (about every 2 months) which was consistently good. They continued to monitor with 3 monthly blood work which continued to show I didn’t need the Vitamins. 5 yrs out, still monitored, bloods every 6 months & still no need for vitamins. The only thing that was picked up due to the regular testing was that I drop a little in Vit D in winter (makes sense cause I hate the cold & hibenate or wrap up completely then) so I take them just in winter. Probably always did drop a little then.

most VSGers do take Vitamins. There's at least one person on here who no longer has to take them, though - but she wasn't told she could stop until she was a few months out, I think, and had had normal labs (i.e., blood tests) for a while.
