The Waiting Game
Seriously if I were you I would gather all my documents and find another surgeon, before you approval and the things you have completed not are not valid, in some stated I know Maryland things need to be within 30-60 day and you have already done to much to have to wait on a Doctors office thats not working in you favor there are plenty of WLS out there . After I submitted to the insurance and got an approval I was scheduled for surgery less then 48 hr later and here I am 8 days post opp. Keep your head, but be vigilant its your health and life.

Anyone for August 2020
How long since you had surgery? I am only 7 days and been feeling weak and dizzy on this liquid diet.
-
7 days post opp
7 days and still on liquids, let me tell you it ain't fun at all. The pain from surgery is almost gone but the idea of continuing to drink liquids all day is really taking a toll on me idk, I feel no energy and sometimes get dizzy. Its mental strength that I need i am driving myself crazy, but I know this too shall pass.

Day 3 post opp
To be honest that 2 day in the hospital is just a guess, the pain i experienced was immense and I needed all the time they would give me in the hospital just to get me my mind and body together. I still don't have any regrets but I don't wanna fool anyone into thinking this was a cake walk. It was hard as hell and still is but hopefully as the days pass it will get easier. Good luck with your surgery.

Day 3 post opp
No I didn't have any complications, I did however have a drain that they needed to be removed before I could be released, other than that I was not nauseous or sick. I am still on a full liquid diet which is proving to be pretty hard i dont know what eles I can eat besided broth for breakfast/lunch & dinner.

Day 1 post opp
When I tell you I have so Many mixed feelings It would be an understatement, So happy and grateful to have finally had my surgery But post op is not a joke there are a lot of hurdles you have to going over and I'm taking it slow drinking water walking and pain management are some of the few things I hope soon all I'm gonna remember is good stuff because right now it's really hard.

Ok, so 1 day post opp and let me just be honest day 1 was very rough the pain and the gas was enough to have me calling on the lord.... but its been a little over 24 hr and I kinda feel 1/2 way ok..... still have not had anything to drink yet but I have been walking. One thing 4 sure I am making sure they stay on top of my pain meds every 2 hr.
