BCBS... it was $150 surgeons fee and thats it. I had meet my out of pocket for the year.

@gregory822 I got the cauliflower rice bowl with chicken

I have BCBS.. and it took about 3 wks for approval

@Glowworm860 I hate to hear you’re having a difficult time rn. I too had hernia repair and spasms after drinking and eating. But there is light at the end. It took a few of weeks to pass but each week gets better and better! Congratulations and hang in there!

Ok... sleeve family. I haven’t lost 1 pond in a month. Please tell me what Im missing. I’m only in my second month of being sleeved. Feeling really depressed and defeated.

@maglerem I’m glad you had a great experience!! Welcome to the other-side. Can’t wait to hear your wins!!

Glad you’re getting seen about and I hope everything’s okay with you!

@ Neensyb.. thank you those 27 lbs lost includes 2 wk pre surgery diet

Hi SC- girl and KJ6262... I was 5’4”, 204 and my surgery was 12/7/2020. And I’ve lost 27 lbs so far! I’m losing inches like crazy! This is the best thing I’ve done for myself ever!!! I have so much energy I’m never dragging like I use too... I wish you ladies the best and great success!! You’re gonna love you even more!

Lets hope they do you better!!??

So I was wrong.. they approved it days before my surgery date!!!

The coordinator submitted it Nov. 20, 2020, surgery day was Dec. 7 and they approved me Dec. 2, 2020

My coordinator sent my info in too early according to BCBS they literally waited 2 wks before surgery to approve my surgery. They said because it was sent in so early they were handling the claims closer to surgery dates.

Ok.. so I guess this is to be expected ?... thank you ?

Hi guys, okay so today the weirdest thing happened. I’m almost 6 wks out and today I went to chipotle and got cauliflower rice and it was sooo good. On the second bite I started vomiting from the smell. Has this happened to anyone and is this something I’ll have to get use to? I haven’t been nauseous since after recovery. Please give me some insight.

Thank you @Hop_Scotch that helps me a lot keeping me encouraged!

Hey guys, I’m 4 weeks post op as of today. Since surgery I’ve only lost 9 lbs. I lost more during my 2 wk pre-op diet. Which I lost 13lbs. Is something wrong?

Yes.. I had to revert back to liquids. Except for today when i tried the green beans

As of today... I ate greens beans and I did not cramp (yay) I’ll move to meats tomorrow. I’m hoping the crampy feeling is over. I am burping a lot though ?

I agree with @Jaelzion. My doctor gave me my prescription before surgery so I would already have them for when I get home. Although I didn’t need them, everyone is different and your doctor should have better prepared you for the what if’s.

Thank you everyone, @jaelzion that sounds about right!! It’s reliving to hear it passed.

Thank you guys!

Hello, I was sleeved on 12/7/2020. Have anyone experienced cramping while swallowing like the food is having a hard time passing?
