I had my bypass 1/10!

@sleeversk with your reflux being so bad why did your surgeon do the sleeve? Gastric bypass is what supposedly rids you of reflux (I’m still waiting for my surgery so I can not positively confirm that yet)

Hello everyone! I'm new here....but so glad I found this forum!

My date is May 31. I live in Virginia Beach but I'm having surgery about 45 minutes away from home.

My surgeon only requires a 1 day liquid preop diet. Everyone seems to have 2 weeks so I'm wondering why he's different. I'm definitely going to ask him about this during my preop appointment on may 23. (The surgery coordinator said I will have a 2 week liquid diet AFTER the surgery.)

Who was your surgeon?

Does anyone have a detailed I guess EOB regarding weight loss surgery approval and denial from Tricare (more specifically Tricare East/Humana). I know what their website says, but it doesn’t give much info at all. Thanks!

Did you ever find a surgeon?

I won’t miss horrible boob sweat!!

I won’t miss busting the thighs and asses out of my comfy pants and jeans!

I won’t miss wearing the same size shirts as my husband.

I won’t miss being too embarrassed to leave my house

I just turned 30 so everything has definitely caught me off guard

Abnormal EKG, septal infarct

Im currently in my last stages of pre-op workups and have had two abnormal EKGs come back this month. They both have said septal infarct. I am seeing a cardiologist hoping to get cleared for surgery on the 7th...and I know what google says, but has anyone else had this come up and still get surgery as planned? I was looking at an end of Jan first week of Feb surgery date.
