    Having Trouble Being Positive

    My sleeve was done as outpatient and I loved it! I spent about 5 hours in recovery but was home and being cared for. My surgeon did call me that night to check on me. I was nervous about it being outpatient but my surgeon gave me anti nausea, anti-spasm, pain and lovenox rx's weeks before surgery so I had access to everything as soon as I came home. It wasn't traditional but it worked for me. I haven't had any issues with nausea or gas, no vomiting. I did do walking as much as I can stand and my incisions healed pretty well.

    Clear liquids

    Atkins protein lift, I've seen those in the supermarket and Walmart. Isopure I found those at GNC and the Vitamin shoppe. I went with GENEPRO, it has 30g of protein in a tablespoon and is flavorless and odorless, I mix it with my Water with a little crystal light and that gives me two in one liquids and proteins, I got this at gnc. I could not stomach sweetness in the Atkins lift water post op, it was a bit much for me right now . I'm day 4 post op. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Stitches and drain...Mexico

    Hi I had my drain removed by my surgeon the very next day I'm not sure how long you're supposed to keep that in my doctor said I didn't need to keep it in longer ... can you call the surgeon in Mexico to see if it take it out now. I know that once the drain came out I felt so much better. I was sleeved on 10/06/16 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    insurance

    There was a problem at Aetna, that they acknowledged they had only assigned a nurse to my case as of this morning. So it literally sat at Aetna for 10 days. I'm glad you had a different experience, I hope @cjark220 is better than mine too Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    insurance

    I have Aetna and for me it has been not a good experience. My md office sent in all the info on sept 21. I called and confirmed they had everything on the 22nd. I called everyday there after including today..... My prior authorization is STILL PENDING and my surgery is scheduled for October 6. I feel so angry. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
