Dayna, my surgery is Jan 4 too! I am 3 days down and the worst part for me was the caffeine headache. Mainly day 2, today was better. Dr Doucette is doing my surgery in Huntsville, Alabama. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I go back to the doc today for my preop visit, not sure what he will do as far as diet goes before surgery! My biggest concern is how I can get some caffeine aside from my normal diet cokes..... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Started this journey in April but finally jumped through all the hoops for insurance approval. I am "vertically challenged" at only 4'10, and have struggled with my weight most of my adult life. I'm determined to make this work! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 4'10, now at about 205, I just got the insurance approval! Hopefully next week I'll get the approval letter and will start scheduling! Hoping to be sometime this month Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

who did your surgery? I'm in the insurance approval stage...but live in Owens Crossroads Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Update: Saw my new doc this week and I have to do the 3 mo SWL again.... and get proof of my BMI for 2 years. Here's my problem, 2014 I have proof, 2016 I have proof, 2015 the highest I can find a record of is 34, only because I began another diet! Has anyone else had this situation? If so, are there any tips to getting this through insurance? I have BCBS Federal Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh I am right there with ya'll! HUGE Diet Coke drinker, 6-8 a day, cannot stand Water unless I am out in the heat! I'm in the insurance approval process now, been denied once. But I think I'll just let the surgery take care of them. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
