  1. I wish I felt the same I was sleeved 3/28 and I am having the hardest time even with water. i just feel super bloated. The only thing that goes down smoothly is apple sauce and greek yogurt. Everything else including water takes me forever. i still havent gotten through a bottle of water in a day at all.
  2. Congrats to you all. I can't believe that I am now 3 days post op.

  4. Got my sleeve this past Friday. Been an uncomfortable recovery but I'm ready for the future. It was same day for me so I was able to go home and sleep in my bed. Boy was I glad to have my bed.

  6. Approved finally. The dr office didn't send the papers until last Tuesday.
  7. O this morning the first call I got was from my insurance coordinator giving me the approval for my surgery. I am so excited March 28th is my date. I had been so nervous all of last week because I kept calling my insurance and no answer was so worried that I wouldn't get approved by my date. So happy.
  8. Scheduled for 3.28 still waiting for insurance so I'm ver ver anxious.

  10. Im just so concerned because Im scheduled for the 28th and my doctors office still has not sent the paperwork.
  11. Yes I had the same issue every time I call they say they give my provider the details. I had to get a letter of nessecity, nutrition consult and a behavioral. That's all
  12. So my BMI is 40 and my insurance supposedly cover the procedure at 100% if I get approved. Well my doctors office gave me a surgery date for 3.28.14. I am so frustrated because they still havent submitted my papework to the insurance. I have everything ready to go and I am so afraid that after I jump through all the hoops they will say no to me .
  13. Most people think I'm under 200 including my husband but that hasn't been the case for long.

  15. Jumped through all the hoops now just waiting for my insurance. My surgery date is 3/28 but I'm still waiting for my insurance to review papers.
  16. I am just so scared, I am ready for this suregry and I want it so bad. Im just scared theyll ask for teh 6 months thing after Ive gone through everything else.
  17. I have a BMI of 40 I am jumping through all the hoops but I am so scared that my insurance will deny me. My doctors office saids I have a 95.5% chance of getting accepted. I did my pschy eval and nutrition eval both approved me. I have to go get the letter from my doctors office but she referred me for surgery so I know she will too. I am just so scared that because I dont have record of the weight loss program that will get denied. My doctors office saids my insurance doesnt require it. Has anyone experienced this ?
