I’ve been approved for a revision
Thanks everyone. Insurance criteria varies by providers. Most want it to be “medically” necessary. Surgery failure, weight gain, complications etc. I used a medical advocate to gain approval.

I’ve been approved for a revision
It’s been a while but I’m back. I have been suffering from GERD and Regain. Insurance fought me all the way but I was finally aloe for revision. Meeting with my Surgeon next month, hopefully to set date.

Did your doctor clear you for sex?

BCBS Michigan PPO TT and lift?
I have the same insurance. I'm just starting my journey (5 days post op). But I am curious. Let me know what you find out. Ask them to send it to you in writing. Usually the agent will give you clear cut answers.

Olive/darker skinned men/women and scarring from surgery
See your dermatologist. Cocoa butter and bleaching creams might work.

5 days Post OP - sad, depressed
One more thing, we made the decision to improve our lives thru VSG. Our spouses did not make this commitment. They love us but we've got to love ourselves enough to be true to ourselves and have the courage of our convictions. Simply put this is our fight! They will cheer us on from time to time. We will pause and appreciate it but that is not our motivation. A healthy life is our motivation. ( preaching to myself here )

Talk me down
Just went grocery shopping 4 days post op. Scary. So many behaviors I was in aware of. I was pacing back and forth in the check out line looking for purse fillers. Checked the beverage cooler twice. Wow! Staking food. Nearly passed out. I walked so much. My son had to talk me down. I'm on full liquids why was i still in the store? The mind is powerful.

How long after sleeve did you start to loose after the sleeve
I had my surgery Tuesday too. I came home weighing the same as when I went in. As of today I have lost 9 lbs. I am pushing proteins and water. I also took a 20 min walk today.

I am feeling better today. Trying to get my liquids in still. Stepped on the scale (drum roll please). Already down 5 pounds. Gotta get that protein in so that it's more than water weight.
