I am still in the pre op stage and if God willing I should have my surgery July 2023 with this dr. Did you have your WLS with this dr? How was your experience?

Seattle, WA

Did your care team instruct you to weigh yourself daily? That would be too much for me to weigh myself daily since our weight fluctuates.

@rickeyb how are you getting home from hospital? Are they allowing you to take a Uber home too?

@Breaking notsobad 😂😂😂😩😩👍🏽💃🏽

You go gurl you look good! People are very judge mental these days.

I haven’t had the surgery still in pre op stage but I plan on telling NO ONE but GOD that I had the surgery!

Yikes I would have anxiety too 😮.
I would love to know the answer to this just in case I will be in the same boat for my future surgery!

Wow that’s amazing and inspiring Hannah!

Why was it pushed back? Look on the bright side you have a few extra weeks to get your mindset right for this life changing surgery? 🥰🥰

This was very helpful, thanks for sharing

Thanks @BigSue 😊

I am just starting my WLS journey so I have no feedback but will follow this thread. I think I will stay off the scale for the first month after surgery or only get on at my follow up visits. I wish you the best of luck

@BigSue I’m in the same boat but I’m single. How did you pay a home aide to drive you home from hospital? Where can I look that up at?

I’m in the beginning stage 😩😩 and just started the 6 month process in January so I’m praying that my surgery date will be in July

I believe insurance companies have up to 30 days to approve or deny coverage. I would keep checking your member portal every few days. Or call customer service

I hope everything works out and that sucks that they did not confirm with you at the time

@SamProvost which insurance carrier are you with? Are you in the pre op stage?

I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. Im still I’m the pre op stage so I have no feedback 😟 but I will follow this thread to see what feedback others provide. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hi Kim, I have no feedback since I am at the beginning process of getting the sleeve. I pray your procedure is successful and you have a smooth recovery.

@aerick21 that’s awesome how are you feeling?

@Quetta89 that’s awesome! My surgery is in a few months. What is your weight\BMI? I’m hoping my surgeon tell me the same thing 😩😩😩

I love your excel spreadsheet I might have to copy 😊

Good for you! I just started the process in January. When did you start the process?
