    Waiting for preapproval

    Iris_L replied to Teacher2010's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Hi I am a teacher too :bored:. I am in S. Florida and our insurance does not require a 6 month supervised diet so I made my pcp and nutritionist appointment in Feb, psych appt in March, and pre op in May, and was approved May 29th just in time for summer..I hope everything goes smoothly for you. I got a good surgery day with summer vacation and all. I know some teachers who came to work right after other bariatric procedures and I do not know how they were able to do it!

    What is PB? (and all the other acronyms that the posters use on here) What is sliming? ( I need clarification, have seen diverse definitions) Please provide any information relative to post op lap band procedures that will assist me in avoiding (or minimizing) issues. Thanks

    I like how this surgeon discusses every move as he performs the LBS. LAP-BAND Procedure by Dr. Malley

    Well.. I hope that you feel better and that you take it easy at work. I am glad to hear that you are coming along.

    In my opinion you should draft your letter prior to your visit and ask your pcp to place it on their letterhead. Of course tell them you are doing this for bariatric clearance/surgery..I had no problems. This is what I did and it benefitted me greatly. Here is a link to a sample...I included diets such as atkins, sugar free, low caloric intake, raw foods, etc and was approved no problem http://www.drwizman.com/PDFs/med_letter.pdf

    PSJ...did you hear him say not to lift anything heavy...I have read some forums when people have lifted something right after the surgery and they are feeling strain, etc...I think it was a quick procedure though and it helps ease the minor fears I have had. I have also seen videos on youtube but I like this one.. Iris

    Respect everyone's opinion...I do not think so when an individual who came seeking advice is told she has a "head problem"...I think it may be safer to say we can agree to disagree...but respect 'everyone's opinion...hmmm

    Finally banded...and finally home (cough)

    Iris_L commented on JazzyMom17's blog entry in Blog 64297

    I am glad that you are ok. God Bless

    I read an earlier post above and I think you hit the nail on the head when you went to the psychologist and tapped into the real issue at hand. Just as the lapband is a tool to weight loss, our eating habits must change. I truly hope your psych an nutritionist can assist you. I also know it is a one day at a time process so do your best and stay connected to those who can help...Good Luck and best wishes.

    ughhhh...Ladies seek the counsel of your surgeon, bariatric nurse, dietician and psychologist (if applicable) Their experience and advice hopefully will help you. Bingeing is an illness for many on top of obesity and therefore your situation should not be taken lightly. Good luck
