post op protien and fluids

[master13 3]

i was sleeved last Thursday July 18. (6 days post op)

getting all the Water, Protein etc that i need seems to occupy my day. everything else has gone so well. No nausea, pain or other complications..

Any suggestion?

How many sixty+++++ Sleevers are out there? How many extra hoops did everyone have to jump through to get approval?

I am 66-sleeved in March. I have lost 75 lbs. I don't think I had extra hoops because of age.

I'm pre op and will be seeing nutritionist for third time. Talked to ins lady, and was informed that maybe medicare has age limit of 61. I'm 67 and ill be very upset if they won't cover me. I have been doing all that is required only to be rejected because I'm 67 isn't right.

I am 66 and I was covered- I am in Michigan. Each state is different. Michigan changed their age requirement in Jan 2013 and I was sleeved in March. Hope it works out for you!

Just was informed this week that medicare has removed age restriction. Yeah I should be able to keep moving forward. Hop to get surgery early October.

I was 65 when I had it in nov 12. Have lost 83 pounds and 12 more to go. I was self pay! Glad I didn't wait because we weren't sure even then what Medicare would do!!
