I was having this issue pre surgery and end up having to be admitted to the hospital because I had muscle inflammation. I was not dehydrated or anything like that. Now 3 months post op i haven't experienced it much and im taking supplements that target muscle and nerves. Sent from my SM-G925P using the BariatricPal App

My restrictions were lifted after 6 weeks post op

@Positive44 How are things going with you? I'm doing well, I've increased my physical activity and now I'm down 28pds @ 5 weeks post op

Oh yeah! I had a great experience as well.

@@Positive 44. sounds good! @@bevewhite I had my surgery at Methodist Willowbrook.

I've lost 20lbs so far. I weigh in on Wednesday's so i will see if there's more tomorrow. You're doing great! Keep up the good work!

I'm approaching my 4 week post op as well and I can relate to a lot of the things listed. I really need to improve on my walking. My surgeon released me from all physical restrictions at 6 weeks, so I'm looking forward to joining a gym and maybe even getting a personal trainer. How much progress(weight loss) have you made so far? Good Luck to you!

I also had my surgery on February 10th. Back at home now. I'm not in much pain but excited to get this journey started

@@nonilove Good luck to you! I'm having mine on Wed. Where are you located?

I'm February 10th

@@JCalli77 Okay, thanks!

@@JCalli77 I just filled out the request form. How long does the process take?

I'm a little nervous but super excited!

Congratulations chic! So excited for you... i got my pre op appt on Wed then it's count down time.

Thank you

I received my approval letter over the weekend. It didn't clearly state an approval or denial so I called the insurance company and they confirmed that I had indeed been approved. Now, im waiting to be scheduled for an upper endoscopy and gallbladder ultrasound. Has anyone already had these done? Is it as bad as it looks on you tube?

My surgery date is feb 10th. They offered me Jan 20th but I wanted to celebrate my birthday on feb 1st without restrictions

It took less than 10days to get the letter in the mail. I probably could have found out sooner if I called them.

Hi guys, Thanks for all of the info! I'm waiting for a call back. @. and @lauriev. My situation was similar with the insurance company. After I received what I thought was the approval. I called them to confirm and they reminded me about the $5,000 bariatric deductible. Then they cover 100%. I also called the doctors office to inform them about my approval. I was told to call them because the insurance company will notify the patient first and it could take days or weeks for them to notify the doctor. I have a co worker that had a procedure last April and she only paid $1300 out of pocket. Less than 30 days after her procedure she received a full refund from the doctors office. Not sure why and she didn't ask any questions. after some research, I found out that her surgeon doesn't have the best reputation, that's why I chose not to go that route. @lauriev. My surgery is on a Wed. I'm super excited and its good to Know someone that has gone through the experience. I really appreciate it!

I'm currently 2weeks away from my scheduled surgery and no one has mentioned my out of pocket cost. I'm aware of my insurance co pay so at what point is the payment due? And to who? What has been your experience?

Oh wow! Small world... I'm going to Willowbrook. Where did you go?

@lauriev. Thanks for the info! I've heard similar stories. I'm sure it will work itself out.

I have a $350 regular deductible and a $5,000 deductible for any bariatric surgery. I plan to get financing if i have to pay the full amount up front and i wasn't sure if I was jumping the gun about the time frame that they inform you about cost.

Yeah I plan to call tomorrow. The surgery coordinator called me today to schedule my pre op appointment with the hospital and the surgeon and she didn't mention anything about cost. So I wasn't sure if that was standard. I've heard of ppl being billed afterwards.

Yes I do. I meant deductible not co pay. My insurance has a separate bariatric deductible.
