Thanks for being honest and I agree with summerseeker, you should contact your care team for help! I am still in the preop stage and that is my fear” loose weight quickly and then fall back into my old patterns”. Good luck in your journey ❤️❤️

How are you feeling two weeks out? Are you back to work now?

Nice! I am so happy for you. I’m scheduled for the endoscopy test on 4/12 and hope to get the sleeve July/August Good luck to you

Following this thread as I expect to have me VSG in June or July

Congrats and I will follow this thread as I expect to have my vsg in June or July

Welcome to the group and keep us posted on your journey

Very excited for you! June is right around the corner!

@Turch yeahhh I’m so happy for you.

@Quetta89 I was thinking about you since I know you just recently had your surgery. How are you feeling besides the hunger feeling? Any pain?

Keep us posted on your post op?

Congrats on your journey and I am semi new and still in preop stage. I have not heard of that insurance but You should search “Alameda Alliance for Health” in this app and see what threads come up? Good luck on your journey ?

Did they give you a surgery date yet? Good luck on your journey

Hi Hazel, congrats on your surgery date in June 2023. I started in Jan 2023 and I’m praying that my surgery date will be in July while my son is on summer break. When did you start the process?

@Breaking notsobad, I plan on having my sleeve surgery in July or August and will follow you

The nutritional appointments are going great just going over nutrition and how to eat after the surgery. I was required to lose 5 pounds which I lost first month just gotta keep it off ??. Keep us posted when you get your surgery date

Make sure to come back and let us know the name of your YT channel

I am in the pre op stage and my most important questions were: 1. What is the process in getting approval (of course this is based on your insurance) 2. What to expect after surgery 3. How painful is the surgery (this can differ from person to person) 4. How can a person mentally prepare for this procedure ?

I just started my process in January 2023 and had my first nutrition class on 3/15 and I was also sent lots of info to stay on track before and after the surgery! I’m nervous and excited for the future. My surgery will most likely be in July. When do you think you will be scheduled? I would love to follow your progress ???

Congratulations and keep us posted on your post op! I bet your excited and nervous all at the same time? ????

I am so sorry that you’re going thru this and praying ?? for a speedy recovery ❤️‍?

I’m still in the pre op stage but I think if you’re honest with the psych dr they will require you to go for additional classes which is a good thing because you can really hurt yourself if you over eat after WLS. Good luck sis ?

Hey, I’ve never heard of this? Is this just going from a bypass to sleeve? Or?

Hey lady, I work for the insurance carrier and Like you said each policy varies. You included what’s called an SBC you will need to request for the actual Contract or benefit booklet to get the details. You should also call the insurance company to ask the question and what are the requirements. Good luck ??

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?
