I have a kind of funny question
mentalistfan posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you ever really excited and then an hour later, you're like, "can I really go through with this" or "what am I getting myself into"? I just want to know if I'm alone. -

Well, I started this post and I am six days post-op! I did it, I pushed through. Have I had moments of regret, yes! I'm just telling the truth. I have anxiety though, just sometimes in general. Things have went overall great but with every pain I worry lol, I'm exaggerating a little, but you get the point. Good luck in whatever you choose! God Bless!!! -
I'm waiting to get egg beaters next week myself, that's when I start purée stage also

Sorry it took so long to update, my iPad wasn't working right. I had my leak test on Wednesday morning and I passed with flying colors. I came home on Thursday. I never had severe pain, thank God, I had some gas but not severe either. I get better everyday! -

Hi everyone, my surgery was a success, the Good Lord watched over me and will continue. M surgeon did some type of leak test while I was still asleep, I swallow the stuff tomorrow for another leak test and then I get liquids, yay! Very minimal soreness and I don't think I have any gas. I have been walking. I will update here, Lord's Will, for a few more weeks in case I'm helping someone else, God Bless!!! -

I'm Approved...BCBS of IL. No six month diet
mentalistfan posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was the insurance coordinators guinea pig...I told her I read the policy and no where did it say I needed a six month supervised diet...she read it and agreed, I called insurance today and I'm approved! Too late to call the surgeons office, but I will be calling them in the morning to see when I will be scheduled, yay! -
Should I Be Prepping ?
mentalistfan replied to olsonjb's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm washing clothes and getting the house cleaned. I still need to pack a bag. I have protein powder, sugar free stuff for my post-op diet. I have my medicine, vitamins, and a blender! Maybe that will help you. -
I'm not allowed caffeine two days before surgery because they want me hydrated as much as possible.

August Sleevers Check In
mentalistfan replied to Sweet Pea STL Sleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do not have my normal acrylic nails on and they are clean but I got a French manicure on my toes...so the bottom part of my toes are see through! I told the nurse my feet are rough and I needed a pedicure and I would just get a French and she started laughing. -
August Sleevers Check In

My surgery is Tuesday, I have my supplies bought up and got my pedicure lol. I still need to clean the house, starting in a little while! -
BCBS of OK (same as Illinois, Texas) can someone help me understand cost?
mentalistfan replied to RedDirtRoads's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, they should know the price of the initial visit and cost of surgery...I have read $16,000 to $30,000 in the US, so I can't help you there. Talk to someone at your insurance provider, mine knew more than the insurance coordinator at the surgeons office. -
Nuvaring Users - Did you take it out?
mentalistfan replied to VSGLiz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would take it out because my surgeon recommended it too, no birth control. Also, you need to do something else for birth control because it's also dangerous to get pregnant right after surgery. -
If you are having an anxiety attack you're not going crazy! I would go see my surgeon and make sure a leak has not formed God Bless!!!

Cathryn, I appreciate you telling about what's going on. I have been gone for hours today getting Pre-registered, seeing the surgeon, another class, etc. and it's really a life changing thing and it makes most people nervous when making the decision to go through surgery. Hopefully, when you can eat more your sugar will be better stabilized and you will stop getting dizzy, God Bless!!!
