Hello, I am Jenn. I am post-op, had my surgery Nov 5th 2014. I am looking for someone (or group) to talk to that has has surgery for support and ideas with food plans & exercise. thanks!!

Hi just wanted to see how you are doing!

Surgery is 9 days away - Apr 8th!!! liquids are torture but I got this!!

Yes that liquid diet is a hard but you can do it, Just stay strong!!! If I had it to do over I would still do the surgery. So excited for you!!!

My "last" 3 month visit is April 23rd. I guess things will be sent off to insurance after that. I'm hoping things move quickly after that...I have Aetna so not sure how they are with approvals. Still undecided about which surgery though, I think that has been the worst part of this whole process lol!

I am having the bypass next month and I am curious about how they handled your insurance. Did you have to pay your full out of pocket and deductible before surgery? I wanted to know because I don't want any surprises.

@@shonne17 I just had bypass on the 27th at Bailey and I did not pay anything up front. Because of all the pre-op appointments and procedures I had met my deductible and out of pocket max so my surgery was covered at 100%. I just made arrangements to pay the other bills monthly.

My stomach grumbled the whole time but after the 1st day I didn't feel as bad. I had my surgery 7/15 in Norman but live in Broken Arrow.

@@Kaye21 did it ever get to where you were not hungry on the liquid pre op diet? And how much did you lose during this phase?

I was only on the liquid diet for 3 days. I was always hungry and lost about 2 lbs.

Lucky you I have to do 2 weeks ..its frustrating ..told my hubby to eat then kiss me so I can taste his food ..lol

Does anyone know of a good primary care physician who is knowledgeable in gastric bypass? Mine isn't and always tries to prescribe me things I can't have and didn't agree with my decision to have the surgery.

Nikki15. I talked to you just after your surgery and I said I wanted your extra boxes of Carnation Instant Breakfast. I am in Owasso all day today can I pick them up?

I'm having the lapband removed and revising to the gastric bypass. I should've done that surgery to begin with. Hoping to either get it done at the end of May of beginning of June. My insurance before sent me to Journey Clinic in Moore which is in Norman now. I'm sticking with them because my surgeon did really great the first time.

is it called OWLO by chance? Dr. KEITH?

I'm in Norman and seeing Dr Keith. My surgery date is 9/9!!! Getting close eeeekkkk

Lol
