I have no issues with my Dr, it's just that a bit of mass confusion started due to the insurance jerks and surgery was moved up and only having band out...not band out and sleeve done, which requires staying overnight.

As if having surgery isn't stressful enough, my insurance has only agreed to remove the band at this point in time. To have the sleeve considered they are being giant pains in the f-n asses and requiring me to do ALL the paperwork as if I was a new WLS patient. Seriously...could they stress a chick out some more?!?! Anyways, I'm having the band out this coming Monday...is this done as an out patient procedure? I know, Dr should of told me but with all the craziness insurance has caused(not just what I mentioned above), I really don't care to call his secretary again.

I could careless about soda/pop...I love flavored seltzer water(not the sweetened crap). It's so much more carbonated tho. So, that's probably totally out.

Good luck to you as well!

I'm finally scheduled for surgery in 3wks...I'm just looking for the basics on what to expect the first few days after surgery. Besides tired anyways. Soreness and so on. I am actually having a revision from lap-band to the sleeve...anyone who has had it done this way with any tips, I would greatly appreciate it!
