Thanks!

I have my pre op in 4 days, I am assuming Ill be late April early May.

Im still pre op but to answer one of your questions, my surgeon sends his patients home with liquid percocet.

My 4th month weight in, I had only lost 4 pounds total. Everyone's different! I know someone who has gained 15lbs and the doctor still set up her surgery date. Shows no motivation or will power, but that's the surgeons decision.

Started my journey in August, denied in January and was just Approved yesterday! Pre op next week.. so excited!

Omg, so quick after your pre-op! Congrats and good luck!

I've seen him once and I will be seeing him next week for the last time before surgery. So total is 2, but 3 including day of surgery. Which if FINE with me. I don't really like my surgeon, but his team is amazing. The best.

Good luck! My pre op is next week! Let me know what goes on in your appointment!

MA here!

I know how you feel. My insurance can take up to 4 weeks! Usually its 2 though. Hope you've heard by now!

At my grocery store we have chocolate covered Ritz.. Crazy, right? LOL

I should be an April patient! I have my pre op April 1st and will find out the day.

This scares me too!

Congrats!! Is that Luke Bryan in your picture??? Nice Im jealous.

I have my pre op apt in 2 weeks for rny. Im calling my surgeons office today. This is unbearable.

Omg

My surgeon diagnosed me with Gerd when he did my upper endo. He put me on prilosec, gave me a rash. Put me on Zantac, gave me bad side effects. He then told me he wasn't going to put me on anything else. This was, 2, 3 months ago. Over the weekend it has gotten VERY bad. This acid has risen, given me a VERY sore burning throat, obviously burning my throat and esophagus, given me nausea and Im suffering so bad. Im calling him, or his nurse in the morning. I don't know what to do? Anyone here go thru this?

Welcome to the boards!

I hear a lot of people love this. High protein, low fat.

Hearing you didn't have a catheter gives me hope that I wont!! I am going to ask my surgeon at my pre op.

This makes me REALLY nervous. I used to have really bad acne as a teen, as a lot do. Mine was much worse and actually took meds by mouth that were so harsh Im still dealing with the effects of it. (Im 25 now and the meds are off the market now) So thinking of how I used to be, I am so scared about this.

Get me feeling nauseated thinking about it.

I got a letter in the mail in 2 weeks. They told me 2-4 weeks so it was on the quicker side.

Great. Thank you ladies for the good info!
