Recommended Posts

it took 3 weeks to get approved but i had to be on their butt!

i didnt check in till the first week and a half then i asked if they had an answer yet but all they said was that i would know soon. I guess their fax wasnt work at the doctors office and so the insurance company wasnt getting my papers but finally i got a new number for them to fax to and in like record time they approved me in less then 24 hours. it was one of the best things i have ever heard. but if i want my surgery in december i have to loose 10 pounds i guess in a week...i hope i can do it!

Congratulations on your approval! The most weight that your going to lose in one week is going to be right now. You will lose all of your Water weight almost immediately. My pre-op diet was full liquid. That included broths, popsicles, water, milk, hot chocolate(my fav), ect. Everything had to be sugar-free and low sodium. 10lbs is not impossible, I lost I think around 16 during that week. It is not easy, but it will be worth it. Good Luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
