Hey everyone, I had my sleeve done on 9-12-17. I went through OSU and my surgeon was Dr. Noria. I had the best experience going through OSU and Dr. Noria is an amazing Dr. If you have any questions I am more than happy to answer.

I have BCBS-OHIO. I had to do 6 months of weight management with my PCP as well. I did not lose not 1lbs. Then at my last two appointments I had gained 2lbs then 3lbs. So I was up a total of 5lbs and I was still approved for surgery. I believe if you are under a certain BMI you are not required to loose weight during your 6 months of your weight management program. My BMI was 48. Your bariatric coordinator would have went over that information with you if you were required to loose weight for your insurance to approve you. It doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about. But if you are still concerned call your insurance company and ask. I hope this helps a little.

I totally understand how you're feeling because I feel the same way. I also have a recliner. I'm in it majority of the day. I keep my pillow next to me but I'm just uncomfortable all the time. Mentally right now I'm ok. But I do keep getting thoughts that this was a terrible idea. But again it is all the emotions of being in pain. After this stage I will be 100% sure I did not make the wrong choice. I'm definitely going to fight and hang in there.... Well at this point I technically don't have a choice lol [emoji4]

Hi Maryvsg87, just wanted to give an update. My surgery went well. I was released from the hospital Thursday evening. When I woke up from the Anastasia I was in so much pain. They have been giving me dailada to control the pain. I'm still struggling trying to reach my Water and Protein but I'm taking it one day at a time. I've been told that the first week out of surgery is the hardest but after that you will be feeling so much better. So I'm just trying to stay focused and not have the feelings of "what the hell did I just do to myself ". I totally don't regret it but I'm just so tired of feeling like crap. My doctor did prescribe me with a whole lot of medicine to control being Nauseated and being in pain. I have oxi and Tylenol for my pain. The oxi makes me sleep all day. And the Tylenol doesn't take all the pain away. I will definitely keep you updated on how things are going.

Hey there. I'm new to this side of the app. I was sleeved on 9-12 and I'm in the same boat as you all. I lost 20lbs my first week post op then another maybe 5lbs the next week. I have not lost since. I've been going up a d down between the same 20lbs. I'm losing inches though. My clothes are fitting a lot better. I've been monitoring my body with one pair of jeans that were extremely tight on me. They have gotten loose. I'm not sure what's going on with the scale but I am happy with the inches coming off. It looks like this maybe a common thing since we all are experiencing it. Just keep your head up. [emoji1]

Hey everyone, just wanted some of everyone's opinion. What would you consider to young for weightloss surgery? Is 16 to young or should a parent wait for there child to turn 18 to consider surgery as an option? I'm asking for a friend who's child has been struggling with obesity.

So I'm 1 week post op and I am losing weight like crazy. I have already lost 20lbs. I got on the scale this morning and I gained 2lbs. I'm not understanding how. I have been struggling getting in my Protein and my Water. Could this be the reason why I gained the 2lbs? I hate my Protein Shakes so I've been trying to eat more tuna and etc. When I drink my water I feel a lot of pressure in my chest then it's like I can feel it as it goes down my esophagus. Well, Sometimes when I'm eating too. It feels very uncomfortable. Has anyone experience this? Any advice is helpful.

Ok, thanks for the tips. I'm on that stage now with being able to eat mushy foods. I will definitely check to make sure my interpretation of mushy foods is the same as what there meaning of mushy foods is.

I can understand were you are coming from. I'm on the step two diet and the instructions that was giving to me was I can eat anything that can fit through a funnel. So if it is mashed up really well and it is soft then I can eat it. I get the pre made tunn that comes in the package. There only 1$ you can get them at dollar tree. There very high in Protein and it comes pretty well smashed up. That 1 packaged can last me all day. My portion is very small but I can eat things like that. I will definitely try some new flavors in my protein shakes. Thanks for your comment and your advice.

I think you should be fine. You'll be a week in a half out. Going off of my experience all my pain was gone and I had a good amount of energy when I hit a week in a half. I was sleeved on 9-12 and I don't take any of my pain meds anymore.

I was sleeved on 9-12. Surgery went well. But I'm just in so much pain. It hurts to drink anything. I'm still on all liquids and I don't even want that but I know I have to get it in. I absolutely hate the way I'm feeling right now. I just can't wait for this stage to pass. I feel so miserable right now [emoji21]

I'm just ready to feel normal again.... Ok I'm done with negative Nancy lol. On a positive note... Despite me feeling like **** I still wouldn't change my Decision for the world. I am sooo in love with my weight loss [emoji16]

Hi Chynadoll619, just wanted to put my two cents in now that I am 1week post-op lol. Ive been following this thread for awhile and it realy hurt me that you were getting bashed for your results appearing to be "unrealistic". I wanted to wait before I commented because I wanted to make sure I had facts to back up my comment. So I just wanted to tell you that I am definitely experiencing the same experience as you with the lbs just melting away [emoji4]. It does seem unrealistic but girl lol it is very realistic. I have lost 20lbs and I'm only 1 week post op. Keep in mind none of this 20lbs of weight loss came from my pre-op diet. I didn't loose any weight on my pre-op diet witch I didn't understand. But any way I couldn't loose that much in one month so loosing this much in just one week is crazy to me. Like you have mentioned in prior remarks everyone's body is different which means everyone's weight loss is going to be different. In God's eyes NOTHING is unrealistic. So with that being said keep your head up don't let know one discourage you from your journey, and I wish you much more success. You go girl [emoji1]

So the "coordinator" said it was unlikely for you to be approved. Sounds like to me she's not doing her job. A coordinator job is to help you stay on track with meeting your requirements fo r your insurance. Him/ her gathers all your paperwork work and submits it to your insurance company for approval. Your coordinator has no right to make a pre judgment on wether she THINKS you will be approved or not. Th e coordinator are not the ones who approves you for surgery. And you are correct as long as your BMI is o
40 or over uo u do not need any cormobilities. I would advise you just to let your coordinator know that you still want your information submitted to your insurance company and let them tell you that you are denied. And if you are you can ask questions. Ask them why a d what do you need to do to get approved. I would not accept what th e coordinator is telling you. Sometimes if you want something for you have to do it yourself. Everyone does not have your best interest at heart...... I wish you th e best of luck on your journey. [emoji5]

OMG so far it is. I'm glad to here that it will get better. Right now my mind is telling me what the hell did I just do to myself. But I've heard that some people does have the "buyer's remorse" feeling. So I'm pretty sure I'm going through that right now. Thanks for your response I truly appreciate it.
