Mine was done early dec 20 as well. My surgeon ran into problems tho. He said my anatomy was different than most others. He said I had a large vein that came up to my liver and he had to dissect it. So I lost a lot of blood and his assistant fainted. Lol well, I didn't need a blood transfusion but I got to stay 2 nights in the hospital. I feel a lot better now but breathing was my biggest challenge.

I have blue shield of ca and they told me about $6k due to my share of cost copay. But I have been paying into it with othe dr visits on my kids. So I may only need to pay like $5k. My co pay on office visits are $40. We may have different plans. I suggest u call them and ask.

I finished my 6th month weigh in sep 3rd. No definite date yet. It's getting reviewed. Everything is in place so it may be late September. I'll keep y'all posted once I get a date. -
Hi everyone. I'm doing the 6 mo. Diet monitoring. It's BS but tomorrow I finish w my 6th mo. My concerns are my job. I work as a heating and air tech and tend to sweat a lot and chug a bunch of water. How will this affect my job? Will I have to carry water on me and take sips through out the day?

Thanks for your input. I had my final weight check / consult today. I asked a lot of questions and got what I needed. Now within two weeks I will be notified by phone when my surgery takes place. I can't wait. I feel excited.
