March Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

Is anyone looking at what type of Protein to use after? I found this syntax nectar and people are raving about the taste its whey Protein isolate and apparently tastes great. I have my pre op class 3/7 I'm gonna ask more about it then.

I bought the lemon ice tea of the nectar.... I have to check it out. But Vitamin shoppe manager said he heard only good things from other WLS patients

Yeah it all has to be done within a two year period. I was surprised about all of the labs too' date=' but I assume I will have some of those done during my pre-op right?[/quote']

They should have given you a sheet with the list of labs to get. Also u can call to ask if it was overlooked or was to be taken care of later. Just not too late because if there is an issue u need the time to correct it and show results.

OK I am getting worried. My husband started taking classes on the 14th in addition to working full time. I work 50 hours a week so am exhausted when I get home from work. He has been pretty much doing all the house stuff as he works less hours then I do. But now with school he will not be able to. I am going to have to somehow find the energy to pick up the slack. Hopefully I get more energy fast!

Well he may have to help more post op..... So how about splitting chores and only doing it on weekends. Cook and freeze or refrigerate a weeks worth of food on a weekend day......( broil, bake, steam, etc).

I can't do too much myself.... But I get help from oldest son at times...

My surg is scheduled for 3/18, Im 30 yrs old 5'8 and 290 lbs. Id love to have some other "Marchers" to follow their progress. Im still so shocked that my insurance approved it (3rd times a charm) this all seems surreal to me!

Who is your insurance through? It sounds a lot like mine!! I have UHC and they use BRS Bariatric Resource Solutions for all their WLS aprrovals.

I had to have six consecutive monthly visits (not necessarily the same physician, which made things pretty easy) At every visit the doc had to sign my worksheet with the date, my weight, and check at least one of three little boxes saying they advised me on what to eat, or exercise, or behavior changes... I had to have a BMI of 40 or greater or at least 35 with one co morbidity (diabetes, high bp, sleep ap, etc) and a psyc eval.

Absolutely no worries with the EGD you literally fall asleep and wake up like nothing ever happened to you. You will be a little drowsy for the rest of the evening, but just sleep that off. Also be sure to drink Water after for your throat.

Ur out for it..... They have u on ur side and prepped before they give u medication. It's like. Taking a nap. I had no issues after. Walked out. Had a ride. They sit with u after to let u know if any ulcer or other issues occur. If so they give u meds and a follow up EGD date to make sure it's gone.....

      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.
