You would celebrate your surgiversary on March 1st for the years there is no leap day. Congrats on getting a date!

Mine is on 29th as well so I guess our first surgiversary will be in 2020!

Still no word from the insurance company or surgeons office. Holding out hopes for the 23rd. Starting preop tomorrow just in case. You better be sure I will be on the phone with both when they open today!

Kathychef, I had my surgery o Monday also. Everything has gone well, except for indigestion and some pain. Even drinking Water out of tiny medicine cups gives me indigestion.. It feels as though everything gets stuck at the top of the esophagus . It really hurts!

I had mines tuesday the drinking part is hard

Shiloh2004 and Nikki3...I agree! It feels like everything is stuck at the top of your esophagus! I was burping up Fluid a lot and the PA told me it's because everything is swollen inside. Not necessarily acid reflux, but rather, fluid that is sitting at opening. It feels like you swallowed a pill the wrong way and can feel it going into your stomach. I just take small sips. When I get the pain, it means I am going too fast. I slow down and it goes away! 3 days out of surgery and I don't seem have that back wash problem anymore. Glad to hear everyone is doing so well! ❤️

I will be Feb 24th. I am nervous but excited too. I am nervous because I am having hard time grasping getting part of my stomach removed. I am fine with the diet and all. It is a life changing thing and I am looking forward to it.

I had my surgery on the 11th. My surgeon said that feeling is because the part of the stomach that signals your esophagus to relax was removed. The trick is to take very small sips. I'm very fortunate at not having too much trouble but when I forget and take a "normal" sip it definitely gets my attention!

[Newbe312 26]

SummerDream...I hear you about getting your attention when you take normal size sips! How are you doing since your procedure? Are you on full liquids or purée foods yet? Hope things are good! ????

I am so incredibly crushed at the moment. My procedure is set for the 23rd and my insurance has, for the second time, denied my sleeve. The surgeons office has set up a Dr to Dr conference tomorrow between my surgeon and the Med Director for my insurance. I feel like all the hard work over the last year is slowly going down the drain. Sorry for venting but I feel if anyone understands it's the people on this forum.
