I have this pain in my upper abdomen that lasts for maybe five seconds then it goes away but it is very painful !! I am now three days post up, should I be concerned?
-
I was just discharged from the ER. Luckily there is leak or any abnormalities. They say too much acid reflux might caused the pain. I was given some Acid Reflux medicine.

How strict are they about the two year weight history? I don't have one and I am afraid that I will be denied.

They say they would send me to a hematologist to see if it is ok to have the surgery or not. If I get the clearance, my surgeon says I will do it Monday Morning. -

Waiting on approval from Aetna
khaled replied to Joymarie333's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At your last dietitian visit, they must have weighed you before they sent your paper to the insurance . If you didn't gain weight from you first visit weigh in, then you will be fine. -

My surgery is this coming Thursday at 1 PM. My doctor says you will go home same day by 5PM. I am not sure how I am going to take care of myself especially that I read everyone stays at least two nights at the hospital. Did anyone have the same situation? I really feel lost and don't know what to do.

What to do when no one supports ... Your decision
khaled replied to Running2theSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
None of my friends or my family support me. So I gave the idea that I wouldn't do it. My surgery is next Thursday and no one knows about it expect this guy who will pick me up from the hospital. All those people I mentioned have never struggled with weight ever !! Go ahead and don't let other people discourage you. -
I got approved yesterday Took them less than 24 hrs to approve me.
