I was sleeved on 7/21. The first night was rough with gas pain and I had to cough so it made me vomit the water I had sipped and it had very minimal blood in it. My surgeon ordered two doses of decadron which are steroids to help the swelling of my stomach to go down and reglan for nausea. He discharged me yesterday. I have some gas pain and no nausea. I only took one ounce of protein drink. I've been sipping water all day and had a few bites of jello. My stomach is growling really bad right now so I will attempt to drink broth. I'm not going to lie yesterday morning I was going through the wth did I just do stage but today I feel better and glad I had the surgery. Oh and I have hiccups a lot.

Awe I feel the support in the air!! Thank you!! Will add yall to my friends list.

Hi everyone! Tomorrow is my surgery day! I will be checking in at hospital at 10am.. I am getting sleeved and my gallbladder taken out.. Please say a prayer for May!! Thats my nickname.. LOL The lord knows my aliases.. :D As soon as I am feeling up to it I will be posting updates.

LOL!! @ Daisy Girl. I see what I have to look foward to on after 7/21/!G. lol

My surgery will be on 07/21/2015. I live in Conyers, GA about 20 minutes south from Atlanta and my surgeon is Dr. Michael Williams..I will be having my surgery at Northside Hospital. Anyone from Atlanta?

July 21st is my big day!!

Mine is July 21st as well! My fears are not waking up after Anesthesia, and blood clots. I have no family history of blood clots and my mom and brother have had other surgeries and came out of Anesthesia just fine but still I am a little scared..I have never had any type of surgeries..

Hello everyone! My surgrey is 7/21/15! I week further out than yalls but close though.. LOL good luck everyone!

No extra out of pocket expense!!! yay!! Pre op on 7/15 and surgery is on 07/21!

Thank you everyone for the great advice! I am going to have both done at the same time. If its more than what my pocket can handle I will just re- schedule my surgery for August. The kids are going back to school August 3rd and we all know the expense that comes with back to school for the kids.. I'm not going to toy arouind with my health. My babies need me.. I will add yall to my friends list and update yall once I find out next week how much more they are tagging on me. LOL..best wishes for all.

Well I heard from my sureons office and they said I would have to pay additional fees for the removal of my gallbladder if my out of pocket maximum hasnt been met which it hasnt. I will not know until next week those fees because the finance manager is out on vacation. The good thing is that my stone is not obstructing and im not double over in pain. I can just have sleeve done and worry about gallbladder later. if the surgeon agrees to that that is.. LOL.. Im discouraged and dissapointed at this point.

Thats what I was thinking. My surgeons insurance cordinator is supposed to be getting back to me on that but I figured while I wait on her response I would just ask on this forum to see if anyone had the same issue. Thanks for your response.

I have to pay out of pocket towards my deductible for my gastric sleeve surger. Now it turns out that my gallbladder has to be removed as well because of stones. Has anyone had this issue and did you have to pay extra towards the deductible or did the surgeon just remove the gallbladder and bill the insurance company? Surgery is scheduled for 07/21/2015!! Im super excited and scared at the same time..
