    Saliva production post op

    I also had EXTREME saliva production. The good news is, it goes away. Unfortunately mine lasted for a couple of weeks coupled with allergies. I started taking Zyrtec and it seemed to clear up everything.
  2. Anyone switch brands of vitamins ever so often or maybe switch between liquid and chewable? I'm 9 months out from surgery and vitamins are a real struggle for me. i was thinking if I mixed it up it may help MENTALLY.

    when does this get better?

    PLEASE take the advice, sip, sip, sip. I was sleeved Feb. 14th and was back in the hospital for 4 days on Feb. 25th for dehydration. You have to make yourself do it!
  4. Aetna approved me today. YAY!!! Surgery Coordinator out today so I have to wait one more day for my date.

    The pre-op diet STINKS.

    I must agree the pre-op diet stinks. I'm on day 2 and it is rough. Hopefully it gets better by the end of the week. I keep focusing on February 14th, the big day!

    AETNA come on please

    Stay positive. My surgeon's office submitted my paperwork to Aetna on the 18th or 19th of January and I was approved today.

    Approved, Approved, Approved

    I called the insurance company twice. They were really nice about it.
  12. I also have Aetna and I am currently playing the waiting game. I hope they approve me soon. My paperwork was submitted on the 19th. My insurance rep at the surgeon's office said the bariatric nurse called yesterday from Aetna requesting more clinical information (?). She returned the call but didn't get an answer. I'm so nervous!!! If I don't hear from the surgeon's office tomorrow, I'm calling Aetna to see if they received the information they requested. I'm a micromanager.

    U tube video of the Sleeve operation

    WOW! WOW! WOW! I watched it with my husband, the scientist, and he was like WOW! That was really a neat experience. I'm glad I watched it because it gave me the real perspective of what is going to occur instead of the cartoon version.
  14. So much anxiety about this insurance approval. I hope it doesn't take more than a week!

    Aetna 3 Months Question

    I just finished my 3 month requirement. Like a few of the other comments, each visit had to fall within 30 days of the last visit, not a day over. My surgeon is submitting my paperwork tomorrow. I never saw my PCP. All my weight management classes were done through my surgeon's office.
