Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Jackie from Miami fl! My surgery is scheduled April 2 and I am super nervous! I hope I get the approval from the insurance... My fiancé doesn't talk about my surgery at all unless I mention something about it. In definitely looking for others to talk to about my journey.

Yea I am excited. But I won't get really scared till I see the operating room. That's wat happened to me wen I had my son i had a c section and I was calm till then.

My surgery is scheduled for April 16th. Join the April 2014 sleevers board on bariatricpal as there are more people there! Wow- I can't imagine going through all of this process and only knowing a few days/weeks before your date if insurance will approve the surgery! I guess because Kaiser provides the coverage and care both, I knew I could have the wls as soon as I was accepted to the bariatric program. There is plenty I don't like about Kaiset, but they have an awesome bariatric program! Can't wait to follow everyone on their journey!

Also I didn't get a date until I got approved. I got approved march 5th and I called my ins company and that's how I found out. I don't know when my insurance company was gonna contact me but I was calling them like crazy. Lol

I could cry my doctor office won't schedule my surgery until after its approved wish I had known this before hand then I would have went to my friends doctor office they give you a date one month before you finish with your visit just in case the insurance is quick to approve so you can have your surgery right away but you do have to allow for the 2 week diet...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
