  2. Wa alaikum salaam wa rahmahtullahi wa barakatuh Welcome sister...Insha Allah I would be more than willing to help you while you go along the process . I had my VSG on August 11 im 9 weeks post op.
  3. I am experiencing the same thing i was sleeved on August 11th and had a hiatul hernia repair and the endo to dialate my opening since I was unable to keep any liquids down or anything else for that matter im 2.5 weeks out currently I was in the hospital for 10 of these days was released on a phase3 diet however i cant hve yogurt baby food jello sf ice pops nothing stays down i finally worked myself up to 1 protein shake and one bottle of water a day im so afraid of dehydration and my kidneys failing I wish I could go back I would hve never done it im convinced that I would have rather lived with diabetes then too be experiencing this. If I even try to eat something it seems as if it wont go pass my throat it always comes up all I do is vomit all day even on my liquids or simply when i havent nothing in my system...Have things gotten better for you..I also feel like things arent EVER going to get better everyone says it will but they havent experienced what I have...I really dont have anything to look forward and I completely regret this decision that I made and am now stuck with.

  6. My doctor has no idea why i cant keep anything down besides swelling he did a dialation for the swelling that didnt work now the stent will be put on tomorrow for 4 to 8 weeks
  7. Thanks sooo much I appreciate it I too am hopeful for the same
  8. Thank you kindly...I am praying that I can because i dont know if my body can withstand anymore trauma than it has already had in this one week
  9. Thank you so much...I hope so as well...Congratulations on your upcoming surgery
  10. I regret having this surgery I wish I would have never gotten it. I had my sleeve done on August 11th and here it is August 17th and im still in the hospital because nothing stays down. My surgeon found that I had a hiatul hernia and repaired it during surgery. However, I still have not been able to eat or drink after that...so then he does a dialation and what do u know still nothing is going down to my pouch. I now have to get a stent put in my sleeve to see if that allows me to have any kind of success with holding anything down if not then he will perform gastric bypass on me...I dont think anyone can imagine how i feel right now...Have anyone else experienced this or something similiar if so please enlighten me on your journey please because I feel just feel like what i anticipated being the best decision i made in my life turned out to be the very worst decision of my life.
  11. Broth jello ice pops and 2 shakes a day...but im so hungry

  13. I am scheduled for August 11...pre op diet starts today for me
  14. August 11th is the date (I cant stop smiling)
  15. Yessssss im so looking forward to being a healthier me. I found out from my insurance company about the approval my surgeon hasnt contacted me as of yet but they did tell me it would be in August sometime so im hoping within the next few weeks. I know the time will come so quickly now that the wait os over but I will keep busy to make it go even faster lol..I will keep you posted and Thanks!!!!!
  16. JUST UPDATING YOU...I WAS APPROVED TODAY IM SOOOOOO HAPPY...THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
  17. Eid Mubarak!!!!! Insha Allah you are very close to your surgery sis.
  18. As Salaamu Alaikum Jamila...My name is Sakena I havent been sleeved yet but Insha Allah I will be in August...Im so happy to have found a sister on here!!!! Eid Mubarak.
  19. Im praying thats what they are doing...Wow 100 pounds that is great. I will definitely keep you guys posted. Thanks so much!!!
  20. Thanks you so much for the encouragement I appreciate it greatly. I was thinking the same thing that is more of a reason to have the surgery. I will take your advice with the pre-op diet and I will just be patient and keep the faith hoping for the best. Thanks again ☺
  21. I had my last pre-op visit with my surgeon on July 15th and I was informed that everything would be submitted to my insurance company that day. However,I have been calling my insurance company and as of this morning they don't have anything submitted nor pending from my surgeon office.This afternoon the surgeon's office called me and said they were getting ready to submit to the insurance but their were some red flags that may possibly (strong chance) result in me being denied because my A1C is 13.7 and that's pretty high...so I will have to bring it down before they will approve me. I'm praying that I don't have to start this process over again. I feel so discouraged????????????. Has anyone ever experienced being denied because of a high A1C???????
  22. As far as i know medicaid cover all costs for your surgery. I have never heard of anyone with medicaid having to pay any out of pocket costs so dont worry u should be just fine.
