Drain is normal

I think pretty much all of them use drains. At least 98% of the doctors do. I did a ton of research and calling around before i choose my doctor. I've head good things about Dr. Lopez. When it comes down to it. You pick who you feel comfortable with. The process is emotional enough no need for someone to post a comment like that. We are here for support not to cause depression.

I agree

I saw my surgeon, Dr Schneider, in Boston, MA yesterday and was cleared for surgery. Surgery date is 2/24. I need to lose 10 lbs before then, and pre op diet starts two weeks prior. I am excited and nervous! 2 months and counting! So I guess I am a February sleever now!

Insurance has everything they need and I should know in 5 business days! Surgeon says we can pencil in the date of 1/21 in the meantime. I haven't told my work yet and am nervous to do so!

How long are you all planning on taking off?

What was the reason for denial? Appeals can be very successful!

The lady from my dr said because I gained a few pounds. Like I told her I changed my eating habits. I cut out soda and sweets. All I mistly eat was meat. I cant exercise because I have arthritis, degenerative disc disorder and bulging disc in my back. I just can walk. I havent worked since August. I have pcos. So with all that its hard for me to lose weight. My husband is going through the process as well. We eat the samething and he hasn't gained 1 pound. So im going to my ob/gyn and ny pco to get the records of my back and pcos so I can submit them with the appeal.
