  5. We all gonna be going through that sooner or later. I know when that happens im going straight to Goodwill. There is one in downtown brooklyn that has great gently used clothes.
  6. Had surgery at 3:18 pm yesterday. I'm not in much pain, just mainly gas pain. Surgeon says everything came out perfect no complications. I'm doing great for now. Thanks for all your support.
  7. Everything went well yesterday . I got approved at the last minute. Surgery went picture perfect says my Dr., I don't have much pain. Just gas. Thanks for all the support.
  8. No, my insurance is affinity health care.
  9. Omg. I just got a call from the coordinator they lost my medical clearance letter and the insurance is asking for it. What else can go wrong..
  10. My surgery is tomorrow and my insurance says that authorization is still pending. I haven't had anything solid to eat since last week. Dr. Wants me to take citroma to cleanse my bowels, does this make sense? What if I'm not approved. I think the hospital should have been sent in my forms for approval. So frustrated.

  13. I signed consent today for rny and my insurance received all my documents again. I called them and they say it will take up to 72hrs to find out if I'm approved. I have surgery date on 8/21. My doctor seems to think I will get approved I'm not so sure. Sweating bullets!!!
  14. I feel u, the gas pain is horrible after any surgery. I'm going to stock up on gas x.
  15. The coordinator says I can keep my surgery date 8/21 I have to sign consent for the rny tomorrow and she will fax it to the insurance. I just hope the insurance don't come up with something else.
  16. I jumped through all the hoops that my insurance (Affinity) required, the same day that the coordinator sent in my documents I was denied. Denied because after all that I did they do not cover gastric sleeve. So now I have a choice says my surgeon either do the band or roux en y which my insurance do cover. I don’t know what to do.

  18. I have had rotten egg burps or sulphur burps a few times. Mixing apple cider vinegar 2 tsp with water can help or drinking seltzer water.
  19. Okay so I got a surgery date for Aug 21 but no approval yet. Why do they do that? now I'm thinking the worst. Shouldn't they get the approval beforehand? At the pace I was going I thought that my surgery would he in Sept or Oct they suprised me. I'm just rambling.. mad nervous...
  20. I started taking biotin bcuz a friend of mine who had gastric bypass recommended it after it helped her with thinning hair. Everybody is different my thinning hair is from diabetes says my doctor. Does not hurt to try. It's just more vitamins.
