This is due to the gas they pump into you to fill your cavity...it is very normal for laprascopic surgeries! I have heard that Gas X strips work and definitely get up and move a lot. Get the gas moving and out of your body! I have heard this can last for a few days. You should get better soon...

Mine took 7 days from the time it was submitted. 11 for my doc to find out. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I know the feeling! Fortunately I found out that it was actually sent to insurance the day before I left the country for a week or I would have called daily!! I came home to the good news. I have Anthem BC in Ca and it took them 7 days to approve but 11 to let my docs know. So I'd call maybe in a few days!

I should be in July! I got the call that I am approved, should have a date soon! I hope today! Could be the day before my 30th birthday (July 12th) but I don't care!!!

They asked about eating disorders and grilled about my support system. Made sure that it was something I was doing for me not for a crazed spouse or something.
-
My doctor's office told me that it could take up to 60 days. Mine was approved in 7. I guess it all depends!

I start my preop diet today, even though I technically don't have a surgery date yet. I have been told it should be in two or three weeks. Two protein shakes and a healthy healthy balanced meal. Seems absolutely dooable! My goal is to loose 10 pounds....I feel that any loss will only make me feel better for surgery. I am hoping to be a bandster in early July!!!
-
Mine will be on a tuesday or wednesday and I am just planning to take the rest of the week and go back the following Monday!
-
I just got back from a week in Mexico to find out that my surgery was APPROVED by insurance!!! AHHH! I should be getting scheduled this week. Pre-op healthy diet starts now!!
-

I am hoping to have a date right around yours!

Hi Pepper! I just had my medical clearance appointment Friday and all is good to go! They said it will take a couple weeks for everything to be submitted. Aghh! I can't wait. But my patient coordinator said the day they submit she wants me to start the pre op diet because it should be quick!
