Good afternoon! I was sleeved on May 27th and have recovered pretty well. I had no gas pains in the hospital and very little when I got home. Most of my abdomen is feeling ok except for the large incision on the left where the stomach was removed. It feels like a cramp that you get when you're running except is not a cramp it's pain. I hopes that makes sense! I thought it was gas but I used the Gas X strips with no relief. I was also constipated and my nurse at the office told me to take some Milk of Magnesia which helped me go. The pain however was there before I used it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
On a more positive note, I have lost 17 pounds since starting my pre op diet on May 20th.

I was so thrilled to see my surgeons office calling me this morning to set up my surgery. I have a pre-op class on May 13th, EGD on May 22, and surgery on May 27th. What seemed like forever when I started this journey in October, seems to be sailing along now. I can't wait.

I was approved!

I was approved!

Well, I have finished all of my insurance requirements and everything was submitted to my insurance company on Friday. I am so afraid of being denied so please say some prayers for me. Thanks guys!

No, I will be having my surgery at Victory Medical Center.
I wish my classes would hurry up so my approval could be in the works. I'm very anxious!

Hi everyone! I've enjoyed reading up on everyone since I haven't been on lately!
I go in two weeks for my cardiac clearance and then I have only one more class in April. I have Highmark BCBS so I'm hoping approval is fast and easy. I also use Dr. Kim's office and I absolutely live Melissa.

Oh I will be there! I have a nutrition class on Thursday as well. I will be having my surgery at Victory Medical Center. It seems like it will never get here. Melissa at his office has been wonderful to me!! I have BCBS so I hope they approve me after I go through all the stuff I need to do.

Hey ladies!! I'm very new here an I'm still going through nutrition classes and such and won't be scheduled until May.
However I noticed several of you are close to me as I live in Saginaw which is close to alliance. I also using Dr. Kim and I noticed someone else used his office. Would like I have a support system of people who live close.
