I live in MD but i had my surgey in DC an hour and a half away from my home because i have medicaid

I have medicaid and i gained weight in my 6 months and was approved in 3 days.

I have UHC Community Plan through Maryland Medicaid. I was approved in 3 days and had my surgery 2/5/14...... I had no copay, Nothing. Call UHC and see what there requirements are. Mine was one year of therapy of some sort but i only did 6 months.

I have MD medicaid and I did 6 months nut visits, 1 psych eval, 1 cardio test, medical clearance and an online thing. I had my surgery 2/5/14 at WHC in DC and I am 41 lbs down..

I am 3 weeks post op today and while I was in the shower this morning I had no problem washing my back side as I once did 3 weeks ago. I have never shared this with any other soul and I must say I feel wonderful. Even though I dnt see any loss I feel a little different. Sorry if this was to much info I needed to share

Thanks guys it feels wonderful, I was brought up with the saying you cant be big and funky and even though I never smelled bad I felt as though I could not being able to reach the whole back side. I honestly cant wait to look down and not see a belly lol.

I was in the hospital sleeping on my stomach.. by the middle of the night I had found my way on my stomach... I also had my incisions glued.

I am 4 days post op and I can eat about four and half oz of cream based soups. I want to know if that is normal. And not all at once over a period of 40 minutes.

I can have cream based soups, SF jello, SF ice pops, low fat cottage cheese, etc full liquid diet. I was thinking 4.5 oz was a lot

I live in Maryland but I had my surgery in Washington DC. I considered my self a healthy fat grl. I had nothing no diabetes, no hbp, nothing, I had the robotic assisted VSG, my weight I started at 354lbs. Surgery weight was 344. I was also approved the 1st time my papers were submitted. I hope goes well for you

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well, I too am having my surgery in 7 days and I will have you in my prayers and thoughts

Thank you guys for the responses about 10 minutes after I posted it went away hopefully for good

No not hungry, it's not my stomach

I too have delt with a (i dont even know her job title) person at my surgeons office that always seem to have negative comments. This started the day of my seminar and I was scheduling.my initial consultation and she told me that my.insurance company would not be accepted there anymore. And to her surprise i was there for 6 months and scheduled for my surgery in 9 days. Dont let that nag bag ruin your positive attitude.

I too am being sleeved on the 5th, and your number in your name is my oldest daughters birthday :-) Good luck to you and let us know how you are doing as soon as you can. My bag had been packed since December.

I am a single mother of three 8 (diabetic) 5 and 4 yr olds. So I am the one who prepares their food and I am 4 days into my pre-op diet and it is becoming extremely hard to maintain this liquid diet. I am on a very strict diet 4 Protein shakes and SF Jello and ice pops. So me and the kids came to their great grandmother house, I thought it would be easier for me because I would not have to prepare their meals but in fact it is still hard because everyone is eating and I think their great grandmother is fixing all of my favorites to stir me away from the surgery... ughh I need help because I feel like I am going to eat something uggh I want some grilled chicken or baked fish.

Good luck tomorrow, update us as soon as you can.
