Glorious Release

I won’t miss “losing” the remote and then finding it under me when I stand up.

Feb 24! Excited

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.

SURGERY SHOUT OUTS FOR THIS WEEK:
@Pkump - surgery date 2/2
@raebo1979 - surgery date 2/3
@sasha2021 - surgery date 2/4
GOOD LUCK TO EACH OF YOU!! PLEASE KEEP US UP TO DATE ON HOW EVERYTHING GOES. YOU ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER TO A WHOLE NEW LIFE - CONGRATS!!

Feb 2 is my date. I am doing the pre-op diet and have lost 10 lbs. Talked to the anesthesiologist yesterday and have my COVID test lined up early on the 1st. I got some library books to keep me easy in the days afterward.

I'm Feb 10, starting the preop diet in 2 days

I just had my revision on 12/14 because of acid reflux. Good for you for fighting to have your revision done. Best of luck.

A hernia or acid reflux could be qualifying conditions.

So can I ask a question? What are the insurance criteria for revisions? You're under 40 GMI now, but you have GERD, so is that a comorbidity? Are the approval requirements for a revision different than for original surgery?

My twin brother and I have just gotten our surgery date for Gastric Bypass surgery. We are scheduled for 1/28/20. We will go in together on the same day with the same surgeon. We are excited to go through the process together. It will be nice to have each other as a support system but still a little nervous about what to expect the first few weeks after surgery. So happy to have found this app. Does anyone have any pointers?

That's great news for you and well done on fighting for your rights on this!

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.

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 )

See your dermatologist. Cocoa butter and bleaching creams might work.

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.
