You have a date already without getting approval?

Hi Leah, I'm Kris. Had my sleeve almost a week ago. All that prep to get approval was the worst part of the whole thing! Mine took forever!

Hi. Manhattan here. How are you feeling?

Yes, they let you set a surgery date once you've completed all the requirements. knowing that it takes the insurance 2 to 3 weeks to make a decision.

I actually feel really good except for getting tired a little quicker, I'm guessing from surgery. I'm 9 days out and surprised how quickly I'm recovering. No nausea, drinking my shakes and fluids and looking forward to pureed foods!

That's great. I recovered well but dealt with fatigue after the first week. I couldn't walk longer than 10 mins but it increased gradually.

Good to know atontor, thank you. Fatigue is the word I was looking for lol. I work around my apartment for about 10 min and have to rest. Wtg on your success you are an inspiration!

Hi, I was wondering if any of the downstate NYers were using Dr. Marina Kurian as their surgeon. She is my surgeon and I have been very happy with her so far. That said, she hasn't carved me open yet :-)

Hey all... brand new here, from Astoria. In the approval process, in my 3rd month out of 6. My biggest fear right now is not getting approved.

Hi where are you hoping to get the surgery done?

I'm just waiting for my first appointment
