LAYTONBI

I just got banded yesterday. I also hve coton mouth. It sucks cause I feel like drinking something all the time. But my tummy can't hold anything and mort diff not as much fluids as my body wants. Is there anything I can do about this. And can someo ne explain to me what causes it.

I will be having my surgery in about 4 1/2 hrs. I am so excited but scared that I can not sleep... Pls pray that I come out of this ok with a safe return to my family.

:biggrin::thumbup: I got approved today and my banding date is on Nov 3 rd. I was so excited but everything is kinda happening so fast. I got to pre op tomorrow. My tummy is in my throat. I will be going through this by myself cause my hubby is over seas and my family is on the east coast so I am here by myself. My kids will be kept by a friend that lives in Ok. She is coming down to help for a couple of days. But after that I am on my own. I am so so so scared.. But happy at the same time.

I am going through tricare as well. I didnt have to do any of that. Actually the whole process for begaining to today when I was approved took 3 weeks. I have my surgery in monday the 3rd. No classes except for the nutrition class which they r going to let me take after the surgery. I weigh 225. I dont have any co-mor. I didnt have a sleep test or anything. No high blood pressure. Nothing! I just saw my PCM got a referal saw the surgon last week and this week I am approved.:biggrin:

I started my process 3 weeks ago. I got my PCM to get me a referal which of course he tried to talk me out of getting. I got really upset with him and even told him that the surgon will dictate whether the surgery was for me or not. Needless to say; he put in for the referal. I saw the surgen last week. They said I was a candidate. I had no co-mor. My BMI was 42.2. I am 5'1" and weigh 225.5. Today I got approved by humana military- tricare prime. I called them everyday. Both the docs office and the insurance company. My surgery date is this Monday Nov. 3rd. I dont understand why everyone is having such a hard time with their insurance company. Maybe you just need to stay on their butts... I am wondering if they just approved me so that I could stop calling. Either way I got it and I am glad I was ferm. 3 weeks is nothing compared to some of these people. I haven't gone through my nutrition classes yet. But since they schedualed my surgery so soon I am do to take them the week after I get the surgery. Oh yeah the reason the surgery is so soon is because someone else cancled. I really do wish every one luck... Stay on their butts people. N if they deny you appeal it.!! Dont give up.
