Hello all HELP!!!!! I am pre op papers submitted to insurance BCBS of New Jersey yesterday. I selected Dr Marymore of Barix but wondered if anyone used him or the Barix facility and what you thought. I think I'm getting nervous and just want to make sure I have a great surgeon.

Thanks Jojo928 I was beginning to get nervous that not a soul in here used him. I did some research last year. Thanks for the info. I'm still waiting on insurance approval. Good luck with getting your date! ;-)

I was sleeved by Dr Marymor on 3/6! I loved him and his whole staff... Very thorough and professional. After surgery, those nurses will get you up and walking right away! I'm so happy I went to him! Let me know if you have any questions!

Congrats on beginning your journey! Will you attend any of the support groups. I went this month and will go next month on third Wednesday. The nut attends and folks give great info. Which Protein shakes did you enjoy most.my biggest fear is the pre op diet.

Pre-op testing involved EKG, blood work, Ultrasound of gall bladder, chest X-ray, meet w/Dr Koganski or Dr Proudan (medical docs), meet w/respiratory to go over your incentive spirometer, & meet w/NUT. I think it took about 2.5 hrs....

I went back to work one week later. I had to because I actually found a nursing position the day before my surgery & needed to give my employer my resignation.... If you can take off longer, do it!!!!!!

You have to stay at Barix two nights... They are very thorough. I was a huge carb/sugar/soda person.... I kicked all the bad habits before my pre-op diet (never ever thought I could). You get used to the pre-op diet....I'm finally switching to puréed diet tomorrow! I lost 13lbs pre-op & 15lbs post op;)

Good for you 2boys!!!!! Thanks for the information.

That is a lot of testing in one day but at least you didn't have to run all over the place to get those things done.

Hi Roserie!!!!! I actually live in Philly but my job is in Trenton so it's easier for me to get to Barix for pre and post op appointments. Do you have a date yet?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
