They have different flavors like orange tangerine or citrus... I take the orange tangerine one and it’s decent

BrownsugarNY reacted to a post in a topic: Got my date
-
I met my surgery for an initial consultation and then completed all the insurance requirements and a month before my surgery I met with the surgeon again to ensure that I was ok and to get a more concrete date on the books for surgery. I had the option to have surgery 2 weeks later but opted for a latter date and was sleeved on 12/22. Good luck on your journey! HW:232 SW:225 CW: 209 and counting

So far all stomach weight but I can tell that my waist is smaller too -

Anthem BCBS 6 Months Pre-Op Diet
BrownsugarNY replied to TheHealthyPrepster's topic in Insurance & Financing
I have BCBS and I was approved within 24 hours and I gained a whopping 5 LBs my 5th month in my pre-op appointments. Don’t worry so much they look at initial weight as a factor for approval and you can call the insurance company to get very specific details of what you’re required to do to ensure you get approved. Not sure what your company wants by my BCBS NY only wanted psych evaluation, 6 months of PCP weigh-ins and medical clearance from primary physician and like I said my approval was completed with 24 hours and I was sleeved 1 week ago 12/22 HW: 232 SW: 225 CW: 215 5’3” -
Feedback on having Duodenal Switch Surgery?
BrownsugarNY replied to pinkey2018's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Chapstick, loose clothing, phone/charger/earphones & eye mask is all I needed... you won’t be doing much the first day of surgery except resting and I was fortunate to leave the next day -

Tomorrow Is The Big Day
BrownsugarNY replied to BrownsugarNY's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Thank you to everyone that responded... I’m doing a lot better than I thought I would.... Surgery was quick and easy... no major pain just soreness at the incisions and surprisingly I’m getting my fluids in, although I do have to constantly remind myself to drink water, etc. Hoping I advance in diet when I see her for my 1 week post-op check up! Thank you all for the well wishes -

I just started my pre-op diet 12/8 officially although I’ve been weening my way off of caffeine, sugary foods and I’m allowed one low calorie meal for dinner but I’m curious if you don’t lose the pre-op weight that the surgeon set will they deny you the surgery?

Most places use your initial weight when submitting insurance approval documentation -

Pre-op testing
BrownsugarNY replied to hollyjean1010's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It’s going to be blood work, EKG & chest x-rays and the readings/ correspondences in which they send to the surgeon are only good for 30 days. -
