Hello, I had my sleeve surgery 3 weeks ago and I went this past Monday for blood work. My dr call and said my liver functions was highly elevated.. Has anyone else had this issue before? I go tomorrow to see my dr. to discuss what needs to be done. I am so worry!

I have not had any issues with my liver before surgery. I have not took any pain meds , Tylenol or Lipitor or anything like that. I just take my vitamins and I do get enough of my protein in. I still have my gallbladder. Just wondering what the dr will do when I go back tomorrow. I am so worry!

I am 18 days post-op . Was doing good until the last 5 days when I started to have acid reflux and heartburns. They are so bad that it wakes me up at night. No matter what I eat or drink. I call my dr and he prescribed me Protonic and started taken it yesterday. Tums does not help. Also I am constipated. Dr told me to take milk f magnesia or mralax. I have and only thing I get out f this is very watery. Any suggestions will help! Sometimes I wonder what have I done! When will I start to feeling myself again!? I getting all my protein in. Eating what I should, but this acid reflux and heartburns I am scare to eat or drink cause it's hurts so bad. Please help!

I do not eat before going to bed. I have elevated my head. When I do eat I eat maybe 3 lil bites not much at all. So I know I am not overeating. But I have notice when I drink water instead of sipping like I did I will swallow more than a sip. It does not hurt. I am going to see how the Protonix is going to help since this is only my second day f asking it. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Thank you! I will try this! Hopefully it will help!

Yay! I finally got approve after a long 2 weeks wait. I did my pre- op appt today with my surgeon. My surgery is schedule October 4 th. I am excited, scared my feelings is all over the place!

Good luck to you all! Have anyone started on their vitamins yet?

Thank you KristenLe. I will keep this in mind. I check my insurance today and still in processing. Hopefully will hear something Monday.

I have a question. My office gave surgery date of Ocrober 4th. They want to to start my 2 weeks liquid diet on Monday. My question is I have not started on my vitamins. I am still waiting on my insurance approval first before buying. Should I go ahead and order my vitamins now or should I wait. Thanks!

Sorry, I am waiting on approval for my insurance for surgery

I AM WAITING FOR MY APPROVAL FOR INSURANCE

I AM SO NERVOUS BOUT THIS PRE DIET FOR 2 WEEKS.

OCTOBER 4TH AS WELL. I START MY 2 WEEKS LIQUID DIET MONDAY. STILL WAITING ON APPROVAL FOR MY INSURANCE. HOPEFULLY WILL BE HEARING SOMETHING SOON.

OCTOBER 4TH AS WELL

Got my surgery date of October 4th. So excited and scared at the same time. My insurance has to have surgery date before proceeding with an approval. Please keep fingers cross and pray they will approve me. Thanks!

I started in February. My insurance require a 6 months nutrients visits. My last was 9/6. They submitted my insurance this past Wednesday. They call today and stated my insurance needed a surgery date to proceed with my approval. I have to go to a 3 hour pre and post- op class and wil have to go on a 2 week liquid diet. They said we should be hearing from my insurance by the end of next week. I hope that when the insurance needed a surgery date I hope that is a start of approval. Keeping my fingers cross and praying!

I am from Greensboro, N.C

HI POOPLYSGAL WHO IS DOING YOUR SURGERY? I AM ALSO FROM GREENSBORO, N.C AND ONLY HAVE 2 MORE NUITRIENT APPTS AND THEN I WILL GET MY SURGICAL DATE.

Has anyone have Medcost? if so were you approved? I am having the sleeve due for Sept 2016.

ME! I am also in pre-surgery and looking to have my sleeve in September.

I am from Greensboro NC and I have Dr. Martin at Carolna Central Surgery group. He is great. When I had my first consultation he explained everything to me what I needed to do and looking to have my VSG in September due to 6 months with my insurance. I not sure but I think Dr Hoxworth is n that same group of surgeons and only heard good reviews on all those doctors there. I also having my surgery at Wesley Long hospital. Good Luck!

Has anyone ever dealt with Medcost insurance? If so did you get approve?

I am 242 lbs I have already been to my first consultation on 3/2/16. Have had all my test done, my ultrasound and ugi. I also had my psychiatrist 2 weeks ago and got approval and I am on my 2nd appt with my nutritionist. My insurance requires 6 months nutritionist visits. My last visit for the nutritionist appt is 9-2-16. so I am hoping that it will be the end of september when I will have my surgery. Any advice will be appreciated!

Has anyone have Medcost insurance? if so were you approve or had any problems getting approved?
