Have anyone in SC had their surgery with Dr. Marc Antonetti with Riverside Surgical? They are apart of Lexington Hospital in Lexington SC.....

So as you all know I was denied by my insurance. So I had to do an appeal. I sent in a lot of medical records a letter from my PCP and a letter I wrote. I sent all that in on Dec 30. They received it on the 31st. They told me it will be 30 days before they made a decision. So I checked about a hour ago and they reversed the denial and approved it. I AM TOO HAPPY. I TRUELY THANK GOD BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM, IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE!!!!

What is this?? How is it put in? Are you put to sleep ot what?

More Fiber.

I have Aetna and was denied because I gained weight! Hopefully things will work out better for you! I appealed and was approved!

Aetna wants you to either loss or maintain your weight. So just say if u started at 300lbs and you lose weight at every appointment and you do gain as long as you dont go over 300lbs. You can not go over the weight you were at your first weigh in. Does this help??

Thank you!!

Gteat! Glad I could help!!

Aetna denied me for gaining weight. I had to do an appeal and I was approved then. Had surgery 1/31

I started my journey June 2013. I had to do 6 months of weight management classes. sleep study, upper GI check and pulmonary clearance. My paper work was submitted 12/13/13. On 12/19/13 got a call I was denied. I was denied because I gained weight. So I appealed it. I have arthritis and degenerative disc disorder in my lower back. So I couldn't exercise what so ever. I could barely walk and stand. So I had been going to the dr over 2 years about my back. I also have PCOS. So I got all my records from my dr about my back. And I got all my records from my obgyn about my PCOS. I wrote a letter as well. I sent all this to aetna on 12/30/13. Because of the holiday aetna didnt get my papers until 1/3/14. On 1/7/14 my denial was approved. I had surgery on 1/31/14.

I lost 9lbs on pre op. I was sleeved 1/31. Had my first dr apt on 2/6 and had lost 18lbs for a total of 27lbs total!!!

I was sleeved 1/31 and haven't gotten over 30 oz. My nut reccommends 64oz but they at least want you to get 32oz. So im hoping it gets better day by day

Yes I had some but I never used them. The dietician told us that they would not help. And I didn't want to take them anyway. So I never used them. But I think all the gas I had is gone now. I did aloy of burping but the nurse told me that I need to pass gas to feel bettet. And eventually I did! So I feel a whole lot better now gas wise

Hey I am in NC near Charlotte. And am being sleeved in 2,weeks on the 18th. Started the liquid diet today. Soooo excited. I am glad to hear you didn't have too much pain.

Yes, it's normal, so be careful...
your calories are minimal, you just had SURGERY, and you need to watch your Water intake... always talk to your doctor about your concerns as well...
Congrats and welcome!

Yes, I believe so. I still get light-headed at nearly 4 months out. I think it has to do with Water consumption....? Or not enough calories? Not completely sure, but I have seen lots of posts about this. Keep on sipping!

Hello there I'm in ATL but happy to keep in touch. My surgery will be in March.
