I was sleeved on 12/9 how soon can I take zantAc?

cookies_queen, when you are back to work on Monday, can you update how you are doing, please? I'm planning to do exactly what you did for the same reasons, basically (hubby can drop me off, has no real days off unless an emergency,) and I figure I'll be out of it/tired and might (hopefully) enjoy some rest without my little ones needing my attention.

I have a sedentary job from home and am hoping/praying I can go back to work the next week like you are. Please let me know how it goes!

I'm sorry you were throwing up. That has to be very painful. Eek!

I survived alone, frankly they all came up there but I was so out of it I didn't know. The pain was crazy and I was throwing up a lot. Been home two days and the vomiting has stopped and I'm working on getting my liquids in. This was much more than I expected. I have to go back to work on Monday wish me luck

My surgery is at 11 and I need to be there 815.... This whole journey I have had it in my head this wouldn't happen... Looks like it is and it's a huge reality check. I didn't sleep and my anxiety is thru the roof. But in a good way.

I'm sure I'll be on here tomorrow before surgery.. liquid diet for two days sucks... My head is pounding.

I am getting sleeved tomorrow as well! My anxiety is also insane...

I'm so excited!

I hate to ask people for anything... My boyfriend will drop me off and come back when I'm in recovery I'm sure I'll be fine. I did tell my son I would be there alone if he wanted to come. He also has to pick up his 7 year old sister from school and his 16 year old brother from soccer practice and get them home and make dinner. So I'm not exactly depriving him of helping.... Making sure the two of them are taken care of is more important to me than being at the hospital alone... It's just nerve racking I guess. I'll keep my phone and be in touch with everyone up Untill they take it away. I'm hoping by the time I'm in my room the Bf will be off work. Thanks for all the advice... I hope it goes as well as I have it planned tomorrow is the big day!

Cookies, ugh insurance! I hope you get approval for next thursday. Such a bummer. :-(

Amanda, that is horrible news! Is everything situated and okay with your bank account?! That's frustrating and scary. :-( I hope they are able to squeeze you in soon. Did you find anything out yet?

Wrong thread

I haven't told anyone other than my boyfriend and kids. He just got a new job and doesn't have time off from work, my oldest is 20 I could have him go with me but I feel like meh... I'd really rather my Bf go and he can't so alone it is. I really think I will be fine alone but I'm looking for advice from anyone who has went alone.

That gives me hope insurance if they received my authorization yesterday so just waiting to hear back so anxious!!

Doesn't help they told me can take 5 days and they're closed Thursday and Friday

I called my insurance at 12:30 to ask if they had received the packet and they said they did have it, and at 1:30 my surgical coordinator emailed me to say that my surgery was approved. I'm guessing that once they had to look at it because I called they just went ahead and approved it. Doesn't hurt to call them and give a little shove!

I'm 5'1 240 ... Just found out today Aetna hadn't approved surgery ???? So I may not get the 9th looks like it might be 16th now, if and when it's approved. When I talked to them today they just said its still pending.. Boo hoo I am so ready I hope they get it together and approve tomorrow.

I am not telling anyone at work either. Primarily because I don't want to be asked 50 times a day how much have you lost. I don't want to hear all the negative crap ect... I'm sure there will be speculation but o well!

I'm pre op but my dr prescribed me a stool softerner and my nut suggested Cloace.

I'm scheduled for the 9th and I'm super nervous. I'm 5'1 and weigh 243 I'm nervous that the weight is going to come off slow because I'm so petite. If you guys would like a 4th person in this little group of love to share with you guys.

@@cookies_queen Good luck! Just had my meeting with the surgeon today All went well, but I was a nervous wreck going into it. Just know that your program wouldn't let you get that far if they didn't think you were ready. Hope all goes well and you get quick approval from your insurance!

@@cookies_queen - let us know your surgery date!!!!

Got the call yesterday I see the surgeon Thursday she said Aetna will probably approve in a week and we will be picking a date soon.

Who is your insurance?

I have my final appointment with the surgeon on Thursday they will submit to Aetna after I see the dr. Hoping for a quick approval!

@@cookies_queen - Southside or riverside? good luck!

I have my pre op class where they will go over everything and prepare to submit to insurance. I talked to my counselor today she is confident I will have a surgery date very soon, and it will be before the end of the year. I'm excited, nervous and scared all at once.

Good luck keep us posted so excited for you.
