did anyone find out if Fair Oaks has private rooms?

I think the surgeons office tries to collect sufficient information for approval process. I know with my revision my office want proof that I complied to previous surgery. Luckily i had all my post op nut visits with measurements and weigh ins. It was not a requirement but helped in the process.

I did not have to fill that out. I just had to tell them what diets I did in the past. Are you sure that is not your surgeon?

That's great That's my date as well maybe we will see each other in the halls. What time is your surgery? I get my preop on thirsday I meet with my surgeon Thursday. I am not sure of time, coordinator told me she would send it to me via email. I was holding on to hope for the 14th. She said the 4th of Nov. I was like nooooo!!! I wanna to cry, cuz my first tentative date was 10/7, then 10/14.

@@stacy0 contact me anytime! That GERD is some nasty stuff! That is part of my problem.

So I just selected my shakes - chocolate, banana and orange cream...surgery is set for 10/21.

10/21 is my date. Just got the approval notification from my dr's office.

That is great!!! I am having sleeve to bypass revision on Monday, 9/28/15. I have BBS Fed Basic insurance. Good Luck with your upcoming surgery:-) Please keep me posted! I would love to know how it goes for you. What prompted your revision? I did email Alex to ask to a sleeve revision board. It seems like there are more of us.

Keep us posted!!! I still am waiting to hear from my drs office. I am not sure how long it takes them to transmit data back. If I don't her from her by Friday will be contact her.

Thanks! I am happy now here's to hoping I can start preop by the 30th for surgery on the 14th. My drs office hasn't been notified yet.

They have silicone pads/sheets you can put on or there is a gel. I lived in South America so it was not a US brand and worked wonders. It's seems like in the US people use the scar away brand.

Three of mine keloided and are dark. I should have used silicone early out but initially they were flat and look liked they would heal great.... Not! I am of mixed race and my cousin is white and tends to keloid. Although it is more common in darker skin, it is better to take precautions. I did not start to have keloids until my early 20s and my csection scar did not. Try the silicone it worked wonders on a cyst I had removed on my temple.

So I called precertification dept today. It looks like my file was just reviewed today and I have been approved. According to the rep, the dr. just looked at it this afternoon and it has not been sent back to nurse yet to be further processed in the system. I was submitted on 9/11. So I just have to wait for them to send the information back to my drs office.

I am having Revision Surgery hopefully 10/14 pending insurance approval Sleeve to RNY. I am excited, but nervous.

After having my sleeve I started the couch to 5k. There are various apps to get you started, but I thought that one was great. Good luck!

So an awesome accomplishment!

You look amazing!! Congratulations on your success and hard work!!!

Wow, I don't know what to say except I am glad you are better. What a scary situation and it is another example of how fragile life is. I wish you continued healing and many blessings.

That's amazing progress! Congrats!

I am good! Pending insurance approval it was submitted 9/11. So it looks like I will not be a Fair Oaks with you, probably will be there the following week. I am really ready to meet with my surgeon to discuss some of my concerns since this is a revision. I really need to write them down so I don't forget a thing!

yesss the pear lol. But yea if it wasn't for my jeans becoming loose I wouldn't be able to tell. My thighs still seem huge to me. I see a little excess skin there .. Not a lot but yea I do feel like the bottom half is going to take awhile .. Yep, the hips don't lie! That's what I tell my husband lol. Being pear shaped has it's advantages! You are progressing beautifully.

I see it too! You are pear shaped like me. I noticed the weight moved slower off my lower half! What is your experience? You look great!

@@395Ron how's it going?
