    I had my surgery on the 18th as well. Have not had much pain because im walking. Im not going to lie i took pain killer once yesterday but my surgeon prescribed liquid form Tylenol with codeine. I have not been able to drink more than 1 protein drink a day though. I have an alarm that goes off every 15 Minutes to try to get some liquids down but at times i feel full and im scared if stretching my pouch

    I need to find an advocate

    This is the only dr approved by the IPA Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  13. Ive started this process about 10 months ago. Its been a long bumpy road. Ive been scheduled three times and than it doesn't happen. First time got cancelled cause i lost my job and lost my insurance. Got new insurance and approved right away to see bariatric doc. Had surgery date for august and it hot cancelled because i never got told by drs personnel that i had approval for preop clearance so that date got cancelled. Got new date by drs office for October i guess they waited to last minute to send paperwork and they didn't send all the proof and it got denied as i need to go from band to sleeve. I was told that they sent the appeal November 8 i have been calling emailing doing all my follow up and they say we are waiting on approval. Called insurance myself and insurance never received anything. Insurance submitted a grievance against them and have not heard anything back except i got paperwork to see if i want to request that see a judge for approval. I need guidance please help.
