Surgery is tomorrow morning!
ld33 replied to tiffanymarie6997's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm having a rough time. Puking a lot, I puke every time I take my pain medicine which is liquid, and even sometimes when I only drink the smallest sip of Water I puke. I've been in a lot of pain, and can hardly drink anything due to throwing up and all the pressure in my chest. My follow up appointment is tomorrow. I'm going to explain what's going on and update you on what they decide to do. Thanks for checking on me! Sent from my LGLS990 using the BariatricPal App I'm dealing with the same exact thing. Is sleeved on yesterday 4/19. I hope you're feeling better Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App I was also sleeved on 4/19.... same issue Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App I'm feeling better today, day 3. I actually started off feeling somewhat okay yesterday but the nurse gave me some morphine and two other drugs through my iv and it was downhill from there until it wore off I guess. I'm hoping to go home today. Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App -

Curious about how many surgical incisions you had?
ld33 replied to KELLIEDN's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I got sleeved yesterday as well, four incisions. How are you feeling? I had horrible indigestion in which I had to burp up, it was bad. Other than that I would've been in a very minimal amount of pain. Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App I'm feeling a little sore. Very little burping. Getting in and out of bed is a little hard, other than that, I'm ok. I'm wishing you a speedy recovery, and much success on this incredible journey! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Thanks. Same to you Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App -

Your surgeon is more than likely verifying that your insurance covers the surgery and if so. What are the requirements. Your insurance requirements normally dictate your path. Some plans require supervised visits, evaluations and other things, some don't. Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

Best wishes. I would wait a week and then follow up if you don't hear anything. I waited two weeks and then called the surgeon's office and miraculously my decision had just came through. Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

Why do ppl tell me I don't need surgery?
ld33 replied to Kelly84's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I wonder if you may have overreacted to someone who just didn't know what else to say, maybe even thought they were giving you a compliment and now their job could possibly be on the line. -

Is returning to work after 5 days reasonable?

Received my approval...had to call the hospital to check on it and miraculously the approval had "just came in". Anywho, I have to meet for a group nutritional class next Tuesday and then I'll get my surgery date. Best wishes to the others waiting, I know the anxious feeling.

Confused about insurance requirements for bariatric surgery
ld33 replied to rocal6356's topic in Insurance & Financing
I would definitely check with the person who submits the insurance. My patient rep (at the surgery center) picks up the phone to call the insurance rep to see if certain documentation is acceptable Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App -
@@BarrySue that's a great idea Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

Although my insurance doesn't require a letter of necessity from physician the hospital where I'm having surgery does. Well I asked my ob-gyn to do it for me and he said that he doesn't do those I'll have to get with my primary care physician. Well I've only seen her once and in the past and I'm not sure if she'll even do it. Has anyone ever ran into this? Where did you get your letter of necessity from?
