Thanks I will give them a call. I have Health Advantage State/School Employee insurance. I am using Dr. Baker.

Would you mind tell me what Dr. you used at Behavioral Health Management?

Hello I'm using Dr. Baker also. My surgery is tomorrow.

Also have Health Advantage and the process was easy. Dr Baker's office submitted my paper work on the 25th had an approval 4 days later. The 6 month requirement was the hardest.

Good luck with your surgery. Keep me updated. I am sure I will have lots of questions for you.

What Dr did you use at Behaviorial Managment?

How much weight did you lose on the 6 month diet? Did you use Dr Baker's nutritionist for the 6 months diet?

Thanks. I live in Pine Bluff so I used a Dr here (dr.hunt) I lost 20 lbs total, 13 came from the 14 day liquid diet.I used a health coach through health advantage and my pcp for the 6 month diet. My pcp got upset with me because I wasn't loosing weight, I guess I was waiting on the sleeve :) I will keep u posted.

I don't remember he was old and had white and grey hair lol. That appointment was 2 hrs long the test itself was an 1 1/2 long so be ready. Dr. Baker is a great Dr too you will not regret it. I had to be on the 6 month diet too it went by pretty quick my surgery is on the 29th.

Good morning, sorry I'm just updating, just been tired. My experience was good, and I know u will be glad u selected Dr. Baker. I honestly did not have severe pain and no gas or nausea at all. He take preventive measures before u go in suirgery to get a head start on this. Just before surgery he gave me an injection of Pepcid and Ragland (spelling).

I had a hernia repaired that I did not know I had. Today is day six and I able to get liquids in,still struggling with the Protein that takes some creativity with been restriced to full liquids for the next week.

Only concern I'm having now is these chills! I have chills all day and cannot get enough cover to get warm.no fever so that's good.

I did weigh this morning couldn't resist down to 277 from 280 day of surgery on 10/10.

I'm glad you are doing well. I have read that the chills happen but go away after a while. One person said they had to put a blanket between her teeth because they wouldn't stop chattering.

Please keep me updated. I am so excited to have this surgery I have everything turned in and done except the losing weight.

I used Dr. Baker as well. I'm almost 3 weeks out. So far I am very happy with the results. I've never been able to eat so little in my life and not feel deprived.

I am using Dr. Baker. Courtney set me up with a date to see Dr. Baker and a surgery date, the first time I saw her. My date with Dr. Baker is April 9th and my surgery date is May 6th. I have jumped through all the hoops (blood work, talking to a nurse coach once a month, meeting with Courtney once a month,etc). I just need the official "You are approved". I am a bit nervous about the surgery, but I am so excited to lose this weight and not be able to eat so much food.< /p>

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
