I was sleeved 2014, never met my goal weight and gained over half my weight back [emoji17]. Being revised to rny on 11/8 due to horrible GERD! My surgeon stated the revision will correct my GERD and well as jump start my weightloss. Would love to hear some revision stories. V4

I was approved today, it only took 5 days! V4

Hi smb123, I work with WF as well! I just finished my 7 month diet. My surgeons office stated that BCBS wouldn't recognize the first month as my starting month so therefore I had to complete 7 mo and not 6! Eventhough when I called BCBS I was told only 6 months was required. I just went with it, because I didn't want to go back and forth with the coordinator. Needless to say my info was submitted on this week Monday!!!! So now it's the waiting game! I will keep you posted. Good luck to you! V4

Hey tmarie3 I was sleeved on 7/11 and got my hair relaxed on 8/28. So far so good....keeping my fingers crossed for little to no shedding

Dr. Dewitt was my surgeon as well! I was sleeved on 7/11/14 my recovery was awesome, no gas pains, no nausea and very little pain. To date I'm able to keep everything down that I eat. Good luck with your journey.

Hey DebraO Congratulations!!!! I too was sleeved on 7/11!!! I'm having a hard time getting in my fluids, I still have soreness on my tummy and for that reason I can't distinguish weathere I'm full or not. What are you eating if u don't mine me asking?

I was sleeved on 7/11 and I was wondering what was going on, I wear contacts I can see at a distance but looking at my phone its a little blurry. I also have the patch behind my ear. Tks for clarification on that...

Surgery date is set for July 11..... I only have to do a seven day diet of NO carbs and NO sugar for five days and the last two liquids only! The nerves are really setting in now!

Called my Dr. Office today and my paperwork was faxed off on yesterday! She told me to give it about a week to hear back from them! Kinda nervous!

I just want to say hello ladies, I've been lurking around this site for a while gathering some great information (thank you). I'm at the last stages of pre-op, I have an appointment with the NUT on Tuesday and I will find out then if there is anything left for me to do. The Nervousness is setting

Hi ladies

I'm just starting my process as well. I went to the seminar last week Saturday, and my first consultation with my surgeon is exactly a month away. I have my psychological evaluations week after that. My insurance does not require me to do the 6 months. I'm just nervous with anticipation having to wait a month to visit with my surgeon. Congratulations to everyone who are just starting their journey!!!

Congratulations jenny13!! I'm having my surgery in birmingham also. I just started my process, I went to the orientation yesterday with Dr. DeWitt. Who is your surgeon?
