Have you purchased any goal clothing for after surgery?
KristinOlivia replied to Ylime's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only bought one new dress in a medium- besides that I have a 1/2 closet full of size Large clothes I can’t wait to fit back into. I thought that shopping afterwards (when I’ve lost the weight) might be a “pick me up” I can use to reward myself anyway :) -
Hey everyone! Just trying to get an idea of what a sample pre-op diet looks like! I know it can vary from surgeon to surgeon... Was it a certain amount of calories? What types of foods? How soon did you start it before surgery? How much did you lose from your pre-op diet? Thanks in advance for any advice given! :)

KristinOlivia replied to Travelher's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I had a breast lift in 2012 (I worked for the plastic surgeon at the time) - I went from a DD to a D cup just from the lift procedure alone. -

I tried to add “Sleeve”to mine but it won’t let me edit! -
Thats awesome! I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I am still at the beginning of the process (still have 2 nutrition visits, pulmonologist clearance, cardiac clearance, and gastro clearance). But I did get my psych clearance last week. Surgery is scheduled for July 23rd! Maybe we will be surgery buddies!

Pulmonary Clearance?

Did you have any pre-existing conditions or was that the minimum testing required? How was the sleep study? -

Why Can't I Get Gastric Bypass?
KristinOlivia replied to Tierra T Tij's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had an OBGYN that when I told her I was going for a consult with a bariatric surgeon she said " Well Fortunately (and unfortunately for you) you're not fat enough for that surgery... " such a snotty tone too. I was frustrated and angry and sad all at the same time. My BMI is clearly within the range and i'm suffering from PCOS and hypothyroidism. Some doctors are just jerks, -

I'm set for July 23! -
Anyone on here have Amerihealth Administrators? I was wondering what your experience was for the approval process of Gastric Sleeve surgery. Also- sorry I’m new on here, forgive me if this is not the right place to post an insurance question!

AmeriHealth Administrators? How easy was your process?
KristinOlivia replied to Jen-2+1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Jen! I know it’s been forever since you’ve made this post. I wanted to know how your process was with approval for Amerihealth administrators? I have them and I was wondering what steps you had to take.
