I've been waiting a whole month now for approval. My doctors office will not return my call about the status of my surgery. I've tried calling about 12 times and have left messages each time. Should I call my insurance company? Should I speak to an office manager? It's really frustrating that they won't even return my phone call. I am so discouraged right now.

I'm really struggling getting my Water in. I think mainly bc of the 30/30 rule. Does the 30/30 apply to my Protein shakes too?

No drinking 30 min before or 30 min after you eat.

Mine was dark too. It was just old blood from surgery. My surgeon told me to expect it for a few days after surgery.

Yes, thank you!

My surgery was at 7:30am on 12/22. I went home around noon on 12/23.

I am not sure about it either but I had my period 2 days after surgery and I haven't had one in almost a YEAR! I never thought I would be excited about shark week. My surgeon said that the weight loss will definitely help with PCOS.

Yes! I had RNY on 12/22 and I have some burning. My surgeon said it probably bc I pulled a muscle too much on my right side and it's nothing to worry about.

I am using Dr. Gersin at Carolinas Weight Management. I've had such an awesome positive experience with them!

Hi! I am Ashley. I am having surgery on this coming Monday! Feel free to message me if you have questions. Who are you going to?

Me!

I have mine the 22nd!

Today I found out that I was approved for surgery! I will be having it December 22nd! Kinda close to Christmas but I don't mind.

Update: I called my insurance and they have not even heard anything from my doctors office. Called the doctors office, got the whole can I take a message, explained that I have called and left messages about 12 different times. The lady at the front desk connects me to the insurance lady. She acts like she is very troubled that she has to answer my questions. She says that she has only just submitted it this past Friday. I told her that insurance hasn't heard anything from them and she says "Well I guess I have to fax it again, UGH." I am not a happy person today.

It's super easy and fast. My husband and I were there maybe an hour and the actual procedure only took about 15 minutes. I also have terrible reflux and it does not disqualify you. My surgeon does it as a precaution to make sure everything looks good in your stomach before you actually have gastric. I only had a scratchy throat afterwards.
