Any WA state sleevers with surgeries coming up?

[kadie777 50]

I received a denial of my appeal to my insurance company for sleeve surgery because I was unable to provide medical documentation of a bmi above 35 for 2 years. This is even though I do have documentation that places me above bmi 35 for two years as of April 2016. So, I will likely plan to have the surgery in May. I can't believe how petty my insurance company is.

Yup I'm up and about but really struggling to get fluids in. Been having lots of muscle spams and pain. So it's hard to tell if I'm full .

Most likely gas pains. They are not fun! Walking really, REALLY helps. My nut told me to drink 1oz every 15min. It helped me a lot. Baby steps! It's gets better from here on...

Anyone else feel like their taste buds keep changing. One day I can stomach something and the next day it tastes gross.

YES! to taste buds changing. I also still have a lot of referral pain in my shoulder, but hoping walking will help. Yesterday was great, but today I had too much gas pain. Dr. Michelson suggested Gas-X strips, so I am giving those a try. :-)

Yes the gas x strips do work and of course walking. How much are you able to eat? Sometimes I feel like I eat alot? Idk I still haven't felt the feeling of full i think. I get so scared that I just stop but I end up eating more frequently. Idk if this makes sense.

How are folks doing?

I got my date. Scheduled for April 25th at Overlake. Woot woot.

[kadie777 50]

Congrats! Hope it goes well!

That is awesome Whitefoot- it's so close!

I'm still in the 3 month weight loss and getting all the pre-surgical requirements done. Got my CPAP today for my sleep apnea. I'm hoping to have surgery in July.

[kadie777 50]

Any updates from those who have had their surgeries?

[Rainy Days 73]

My update is that I've been approved for surgery by my insurance and it's set for July 11th. Would love to hear how others are doing!

I'd love to hear how surgery went with Dr. Houseworth at St. Francis. Any updates?

Hello kadi777 . My surgeon is Dr. Houseworth. Where is your surgery taking place?
