File a grievance and appeal because if someone gave you the wrong info they have to help you I use to work for Humana

I understand where you are coming from things I shouldn't eat go down so good but healthy foods most of the times make me feel really bad

What you can do is ask to speak with a supervisor and have that call played back because all call are recorded and yes it's true you can have a claim revoked

If you asked for your benefits and the rep didn't include the lifetime max when quoting, call your insurance and complain. Tell them you want to appeal based on being misquoted your benefits. I worked cs in health insurance for years and misquotes got approved quite often.

my sleeve was MUCH easier than either of my C sections. the soreness in my stomach the first couple of days reminded me of my C sections, but it was more soreness than pain. i really had no pain with the sleeve. as a matter of fact, the sleeve was the easiest surgery i have had.

I got my sample directly through the GENEPRO website, but that was back when I first had my surgery over a year ago. I believe it was also available on Amazon at that time.

I did try a free sample of it that I received and it mixed well with my greek yogurt, so if you are just looking for a taste-free option that mixes well, it seems like a good source of at least 15 grams of Protein. In their videos they say it doesn't mix great with straight Water (didn't try it myself), but does mix well with any flavored beverage like Gatorade and with hot beverages like coffee or tea.

I was feeling the same way today if I continue to feel it in going 2 hospital

I agree with the others, They stressed after surgery if you have any leg pain at all, to contact the hospital, your advocate or surgeon & get it checked out immediately because it could be a blood clot.

Does anyone have any leg tenderness in the calf I went for a Lil walk to help during my walk my one calf seemed like it wanted to cramp up a bit. I have been walking around my apt taking my blood thinner injection just has me a Lil nervous

Good luck I was sleeved Dec 10 I feel good

My surgery is the 9th and I'm on day 3 of the pre-op diet. I choke down 3 shakes and 1 Ketogenics bar per day. I hate this phase but I know it's what I has to happen for a successful procedure!

Thank you boo @@number1rudegal

OMG! ! As the days go by I'm getting freaked out about this.. RNY I'm 33yrs I never had serious health problem just severe migran and back pain but nothing serious I have a bmi of 41 I'm 5'0 feet this been a very fast process It all started on the 12/4 the seminar on the 6 of jan. Fist doc. Appt. And got my sugery date for the 27 of jan. And then they moved it to the 23 next friday! So fast..... but I can't stop thinking about if this is the rigth decision forgot to mention I have try so many times to loose weight but no success there were this option comes in my doc. Head and mines but as the days get closer I'm getting more scared nervous and start thinking so much about it I read a post earlier from someone that freaked me out even more of how she regrets ever doing this op she gone through a lot of wrong thing and just thinking would that be me I have 3 kids that depends on me and I can't stop thinking if something goes wrong what would happen? Am I the only one with this thought I really would like to see you your opinion on this and advice plz

I just reached goal! Yay!!!!
But now I don't know how to stop loosing. I'm still dropping about 6-8 lbs per month. I am where I'd like to be in pant size. I'd be okay with going down one more size since my 6's are getting pretty baggy and I'm just a few lbs away from 4's....but I can't imagine anything below that. I'm nearly 5'7. A size 4-6 is tiny! ( I would NEVER have thought to describe myself as tiny. Weird)

I am currently only getting around 700-900 calories in per day with the average being around 800. I can't see how I would add more food in to my daily diet. I am still leaning heavily on supplements because I get full on such a small amount of food I would never hit any goals without my drinks and bars.

So now I need to be consuming, what? 1200 calories per day? That seems almost impossible right now. I have a doc appointment scheduled for next month and I will talk to them in depth about this.
I'd like to hear from others who've reached goal. What did you do to stop the loss? Is there a risk of being unable to stop loosing?
Thanks!

SandyS,
You are NOT crazy at all. I too am scared. My original date was set for November 20th. Now, my doctors are shooting for later this month. My doctor is trying to plan his vacation and scheduling everyone he can early that already has insurance confirmation.
I am very nervous. I haven't been thin since childhood.
I have major fears of my friends and family not accepting the new me. I am glad you're on here. The support in this group is awesome.
When do you start your pre-op surgery diet? What does it look like?

Hello All,
Houston TX here Pre OP 9/30 and Surgery date 10/10!
Congrats to you all w/ dates!

Mine refused too, as did my rheumatologist, so I went back to a PCP I had prior to the current one and she was all for it .... don't give up because others can't get on board with your surgery.

people can be rally crude. Once when I lost a lot of weight everyone was asking if I had cancer. Was I sick? Now they are asking how I'm losing weight. It's like they don't notice until one day…then it looks like you've lost it overnight. Haters are gonna hate. I love this new way of life. Would not change it for the world. Just don't like the drama involved.
Happy Losing,
Mississippigirl

I'm new too! I should be getting my sleeve in August!!!!! I'm currently going through all of the doctor's appointments, bloodwork, etc.
