Seriously thinking of canceling rny . My surgeons office said that I could get complication insurance when I first was quoted fees. I got a call friday saying that they made a mistake and said revisions were not eligible. If any major complications that occur will be out of my pocket. This could ruin me financially.

They might still. cover it if your surgeon states you have a health condition or health decline that mandates it. Like if your GERD has given you Barretts Esophagitis, an Esophageal cancer precursor. Don't wish THAT on you, my Cousin June-Ellen died of that on the table at Cleveland Clinic, 2 years ago and I still miss her like it was, Yesterday😪💦😪

Can you postpone to think about it more instead of canceling ? To talk it over with the surgeon, your family and then decide?

Chances are if you cancel now because of this without really thinking it through, you'll be at this same point 2 years later wishing you did it, especially if you need it being a revision.

Don't live in the land of Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda too long. I hem-hawed for years, listened to everybody tell me for a multitude of reasons why I wouldn't be a success. Almost left it TOO LONG, now atv72 I am facing my own surgery. Oh yes. I will heal, but for me it will be a long drawn- out affair. I wish I had the sense to do it at your age, when I was YOUNG.😪💦😪

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
