How can i still be alive in 2 weeks on liquids! I am about to eat the wallpaper!

Omg i'm scheduled to be sleeved a week from monday and woke up very sick with a chest cold this morning! Surgeon said a shot of decahedron and Rocefin should do the trick! I took a flu shoot a few weeks ago! My chest is tight and i have a low grade fever! I'm so concerned this will delay my surgery!

Thought it might be easier for all if us with Dr. Mickey King to meet in one place, so I am trying this area. I am going to be sleeved in Oxford, Ms on 12/30 by Dr. King and I am starving in case anyone wanted to know! ????

I just set up a new thread for those of us using Dr. Michael King in Oxford Ms! But it is under the surgeon tab! Oh and i am pre-op and on liquids right now! Will be sleeved in Oxford on 12/30! You are welcome to PM me or I can set up a FB PRIVATE GROUP for us! I will tell you that have done extensive research on surgeons, track records, etc! I have polled doctors and lawyers about safety! Dr. King has an impeccable reputation! I have 2 good surgeons in town that I could use but I wanted the most experienced and knowledgeable about this procedure, so I chose Dr. King! His staff is fantastic!

That is ridiculous! My psych eval was very thorough and detailed! It only cost me 50 of $150! You need another doctor in my opinion! Oxford Bariatric is awesome!

I live in Jackson and did see Dr. Carroll, but decided to go with Dr. Michael King in Oxford! I really like him ALOT! I was surprised at how nice the hospital and staff are at Baptist Memorial in Oxford!

I'm so sick of people trying to talk me out of having this surgery! Any suggestions???

Hey, I'm in Jackson but using Dr. King also! My surgery is 12/30! Best of luck! Please stay in touch!

I have a couple if reasons I was denied by Cigna. 1. I had no nutritional assessment but I went to a nutritionist today! 2. I only had 2 months not 3 required of dr.supervised at loss 3. My Pcp letter on said I was cleared not cleared and approved! So my question is, can I add another doctor supervised counseling now or will I have to see the doc for 3 consecutive

I've been trying desperately to get approved by Cigna since April! I cannot tell you how difficult Cigna has been! I've done several medically supervised WL programs but not in the past 6 months! So, I finally get down to the one thing they say I'm lacking and that's 90 days with a nutritionist to go over diet and exercise! After our first visit, they said the notes made no mention of exercise so that one won't count! Well, I had just gotten out of a boot that week from a torn ligament in my ankle! The very next weekend, I ruptured a disc in my Lower back. I've been out 2 weeks on my back and just had surgery so I will be out another 2 weeks in recovery! I have a bmi of 41 and 2 co-morbidities! What more do they need?

I am so thankful for each response! It is MY choice! Y'all are the best! Have a great day!

Thank. You cmw! I'm going to go cry now! The thought of going through YET another medically supervised program makes me want to puke! Every year for the past 16 years, Ive done one program or another with great success, only to fail a few weeks down the road upon completion. Really sad!

Awesome and inspiring! Congrats! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I am pre-op and wondering if anyone who has been sleeved has been injected with a long lasting pain medication called Exparel! If so, how did it help with pain? Sent from my iPhone using VST
