I had surgery July 2nd and my surgeon only requires 1 week of clear liquids. With that said, I haven’t been able to get much down without being in pain. Therefore, I’m going to do my best to not get dehydrated over the next 3 days and not focus on the protein intake. I will make up for the protein when on full liquids (in 3days). I said that to say that stating your full liquid diet earlier than 3 weeks is fine. Especially if you feel healed enough (pain,swelling, nausea.... in check). good luck to you ?

I know this post is old but I had gastric surgery on 7/2/19 and it hurts every time I sip on anything. I’m freaking out about getting dehydrated but I can’t “stomach” the pain ?‍♀️

I have uhc complete choice ppo and they have told my surgeons office (on more than 1 occasion) that no prior authorization is required because Medicare doesn’t prior authorize RNY? Really? Basically their refusing to do a prior authorization. She couldn’t even submit it online. Have any of you had this happen. I have to sign an ABN ?

Hey there LLaneRn, I have UHC advantage plan as well. However, they have told my surgeons office that no prior authorization is required?! They had you go through a prior authorization process? I hope that their not trying to just hang me with an outrageous bill ?

New here ? I’m scheduled for July 2nd!
