Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Jackie from Miami fl! My surgery is scheduled April 2 and I am super nervous! I hope I get the approval from the insurance... My fiancé doesn't talk about my surgery at all unless I mention something about it. In definitely looking for others to talk to about my journey.

I have final preop testing the end of march. I have insurance approval. I am going to a dr in carmel indiana. I am scared and excited. Those feelings happen at the same time and alternating. Depends on the day. Hoping for a date in april so my kids will be in school. Cross your fingers. Good luck to you all too

Yea I am excited. But I won't get really scared till I see the operating room. That's wat happened to me wen I had my son i had a c section and I was calm till then.

My surgery is scheduled for April 16th. Join the April 2014 sleevers board on bariatricpal as there are more people there! Wow- I can't imagine going through all of this process and only knowing a few days/weeks before your date if insurance will approve the surgery! I guess because Kaiser provides the coverage and care both, I knew I could have the wls as soon as I was accepted to the bariatric program. There is plenty I don't like about Kaiset, but they have an awesome bariatric program! Can't wait to follow everyone on their journey!

Also I didn't get a date until I got approved. I got approved march 5th and I called my ins company and that's how I found out. I don't know when my insurance company was gonna contact me but I was calling them like crazy. Lol

I could cry my doctor office won't schedule my surgery until after its approved wish I had known this before hand then I would have went to my friends doctor office they give you a date one month before you finish with your visit just in case the insurance is quick to approve so you can have your surgery right away but you do have to allow for the 2 week diet...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
