thanks guy' date=' needed that! now that i am back to myself, time to fight! monday i will be able to plea my case before the advocate, hopefully they can squeeze me in before the doc goes on his christmas vacation. if not, wipe the dust off my feet and move quickly on to the next reputable doc that can see me before the 31st.

Unfortunatly it's a totally different ins company, so no hope of it being honored.

Good thing i'm in Houston, so i have lots of choices - just gotta find the right one quickly.

BTW - i went to my car and had a small pitty party :( , but i'm ready to move forward i got till 12-31 to make it happen kaptain :ph34r:[/quote']

I went to one doctor and was going to have a $3800 out of pocket expense... I switch doctor..mmmyoi should switch don't take the chance of not being covered.

WELL... as of this morning I was able to secure a December date with another doctor (Sheilendra Suresh Mehta, M.D.) he works with now my old doctor (Erik B. Wilson, M.D.). As a matter of fact I met him before I met with Dr. Wilson – what a strange twist of fate. Now I just need to steady my nerves and take it one day at a time. I know God is in control and everything works just the way He planned, not as I planned...

THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUGGESTIONS, YOU GUYS ROCK :wub:

I had the same issue. I am changing the insurance providers in Jan. I had my initial appointment with the surgeon 11/19 and explained my situation and he said I should be able to get everything done to get it completed before the end of the year. I had to make numerous call backs to make sure everything was moving along, but I now have a date for 12/17 and I will just have to worry about follow up appointment coverae and prescriptions, but I should be fine:-)I wish you luck! Talk to you doctor though and let him know your situation. You'd be suprised how much they will try and help you.

Well I was sleeved on 12/28 @ 7:30am.

The procedure it self appears to have gone well. But I cannot keep any liquids down, every time I take a sip of anything I feel it bubbling around in my chest & tummy area - eventual end up throwing it up. So now I'm back to nothing but the iv only. My nurse said I may be here another day cause they can't release me till they know I can keep down the liquids.

I still have not passed gas, but I've been burping all over the place. I take a walk after I use the restroom, hoping to get the air moving.

Please keep me in your prayers

I the same problem. My new tummy was so swollen I couldn't get anything down and I failed my leak test bc of it. I was sleeved on a Monday leak test Tuesday morning then had to stay until Thursday which they then repeated the leak test and even though better it was still moving through slowly. Every day does gets better you were just sleeved 2 days ago. Days 2 & 3 were the absolute worst for me.

Try to stay positive and get walking if you haven't yet it does make a difference. I was burping right out of surgery and was very nauseated. Then passing gas for me didn't start until Thursday 3 days postop. So be patient. It will happen. I asked my nurses for those little sponges. I dipped them in Water and would suck that. Hope you feel better.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
