So yesterday I got my approval for surgery (yay!) and emailed my insurance coordinator back asking " Does this mean my surgery will be kept on the same date I was given during consultation? "

Her answer was yes, It will be kept for September 8th and also its an In and Out procedure.? I wasn't aware it was in and out after the amount of stories I've read on here about hospital stays, walking the halls and yeah.. Is that normal?

I'm a little nervous about it.

I'm sure you have another preop surgeon visit don't you? Ask him..mine said a day an half inpatient if nauseated another day. Or it could be your insurance on wat they agreed to pay. Do some investigating. .

I haven't heard yet about any pre-op appointment, but I would think there would be one...The only thing I have scheduled already is a pre-op class August 12th and my post op appointment September 18th.

My consultation appointment with the Surgeon was March 14th, from there I had bloodwork, Behavioral Screening, Nutritional Screening, Gastro appointment/Endoscopy. My insurance did not require a 6month diet.

Paperwork was sent into my insurance June 27th and I got approval yesterday July 7th.

I had my surgery outpatient and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I was more comfortable outside the hospital & there was no need to stay longer than a couple hours after surgery.

Yeah I can understand being more comfortable at home, I guess I'm just worried about a complication arising and not being around any medical staff. Plus my surgeon's office/surgical center is 45min to an hour away.

My surgery is September also -- my surgeon requires a 2-night hospital stay. I actually think that sounds like a long time to have to stay, but when I questioned him he said there are no exceptions. Strange that the surgeons could vary so much on the length of stay.

Why did you have to stay a night?

Due to complication?..Or just because.

My surgeon requires an overnight stay as well ... to perform the upper GI X-ray study the next morning to check for leaks. Hopefully if you have any complications they will be realized before they allow you to be discharged! I go in for surgery tomorrow at 7:30am!!!

It is weird how much they differ.

My surgeon is well known in the area and every person I've talked to that went through him were happy, So I guess I'll trust in him.

I though the same thing I thought I would at least have been a night , after all when I had my Gallbladder removed I was in hospital for 2 days and that was an easier surgery.

I don't blame you one bit...that's my biggest concern as soon as they release an by that night complications. ...I hate end up n ER. ...if I'm the least nauseated I'm telling him keep me one more. ..:)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
