You'll be fine, just don't drive & don't drink alcohol.

I'm a GI Tech & have had an EGD, you should go to a doc that uses an anesthesiologist instead of a councious sudation nurse to give meds. With anesthesiologist there's no reason you should be awake or rember anything.

Did anyone have the Q Pain Ball after surgery? If so, what was your pain level? Did it really help with pain or did you have pain anyways?

Do u mined me asking how much u lost n 3 mo. to get to 140 goal & how tall u r?

Whats the difference? I was told I was by insurance i was approved but now I have to wait for predtermination & preautheration?

One month for me from doc appt, NUT appt., & physic Eval & insu approval. I hope to have surgery in another 2 to 3 weeks. But my friend it took her 6mo.

IDK on how you check it but I found out yesterday that i was approved on 3/2/12. I've left 4 messages for my doctors scheduler to call me so I can get my sleeve scheduled & no response in 3 days. I'm getting upset I'm gonna call tomorrow & demand someone talk with me.

What's everyone taking for calcium CITRATE?& where are you getting it? Anyone found any that taste good?

Will I Really NOT Be starving for food? I'm worried that after I get the sleeve, that I'll still want all of the junk I eat now & I'll stretch it out & not loose weight... Guess I'm just nervous.

Tx mini, I don't see online bcbstx where I can check that?? I only see claims from doc appts. Can you tell me how todo it online?

Have blue cross blue shield of Texas, My stuff was sent to them for approval over a week ago & I haven't made time to call them yet. Any tips on how to BuG the insurance company to get a faster response? What should I tell them if I call them several times a day like I've seen some people have?

Glad to hear I'm not alone. Even though I know it would be easier to wait, I kinda want to get it all over with while I'm down already, but then again I don't... IDK I can't make my mind up. I guess I could wait 4 more weeks until I'm able to put my 280lbs of weight on my foot but then again if I have it done next week then I have 3 weeks to loose 20-30lbs off of the weight that's put on my foot/ankle?

I am only days away from insurance approving my WLS on 01/31/12 I had to have foot/ankle tendon surgery & I'm in a cast known weight baring until 03/30/12 then I'll still be in a walking cast for 4 more weeks after that then a walking boot for 6 more weeks. That puts me in the middle of June before completely recovered. My WLS Doc says I can do it in my cast but I'm still unsure. I really really really want to have the WLS but then again I don't know if I'll be able to get around if my abdomen hurts after the WLS. I do get around on a scooter right now instead of crutches, so that part has made it easier. Anyone have any thoughts or has anyone been in the same situation??
