Hello How long after you submit all of your information to the insurance did it take to get approved. I have a 40.7 BMI and I have high cholesterol and hypothyroidism which I'm taking medications for both so I am within the range of getting the surgery done but I'm just wondering how long did it take for you to get your surgery date? Also I'm curious about the recovery I am a mom of four ages 11 to 2 years old and i'm wondering how long I'm going to have to have help with the kids I take them to school pick him up do activities with them so how long were you guys out of commission before you got back to your usual activities?

Hello fellow Sleeve-es and Sleeved I am starting this process to get my WLS VGS at Baptist Medical with Dr. Hodgett. Has anyone used him or his partner? I am done with my six month doctor directed diet and going for my psychological evaluation and then to my nutritional evaluation. Is there anything I should know before going to either of these? I do have high cholesterol and hypothyroidism but I'm taking medication for both. I'm just wondering how long the process takes once I finish these to do list that I got. My insurance requires that I meet with an RN each week or at least have a phone/email conversations with. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have not had my WLS yet but have you asked to be put on something for the acid reflux/heart burn? Have they done an ultrasound to see if you have any defects in your esophagus? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
