How were you approved? Was it self pay or through insurance? I have blue cross blue shield *** and can switch it up to PoS but was told bcbs in DC does not cover any weight loss surgeries.

I have BCBS CareFirst and they approved it. But you should call the HUHoffice and ask, they will help get any and all info you may need regarding your insurance.

Thank goodness you are okay and home.

I have to sleep half laying down half sitting with pillows under my legs and around my sides. Like a cocoon ?de0a

I brush my tongue with no burn listerine before bed. It helps.

Thanx I'll definitely try that.

Sleeved on 8/21. Spent 4 days in the ICU. Had 4 blood transfusions due to some bleeding out during surgery. Had to go the ER on the 30th due to chest pains and shortness of breath. Now I'm home and having trouble getting into a comfortable position to sleep and still trying to get hydrated. Any suggestions/advice?.....on sleeping and drinking bcuz Water is becoming so boring. And does anyone know how to keep the taste of dehydration out of your mouth whilst sleeping.

Hey everyone, I had my VSG on Aug 21 @ HUH by Dr. Tran in DC. He is the absolute nicest and most patient, answers any and all questions I may have.

Maybe... I have to try harder. Thank you.

Oh, and the metallic taste in my mouth.... where does that come from?

Thank you. I've also been having issues with gas build up (desperate need to burp) every time I sip. Is there any ways of not getting that reaction?

I had my surgery on Wednesday Aug 21, 2013 @ Howard University Hospital. Still getting used to to the sip, sip, sipping. Any and all advise is welcomed and appreciated. Thanx :-)
