Lol totes understand that. If I could do it tom I would. I have closet full of clothes I used to be able to wear that I look at longingly whenever I'm in there Lol

So you're experienced!!! Any tips for us going in?

All i can say is leave it to the Man Upstairs.!!! As long as you follow all discharge recommendations. You will be fine.. !! If your suppose to do liquid diet do it if your suppose to eat or drink liquid for two weeks do it as long as you do everything your suppose to everything will be just fine.. APril 20 is right around the corner. When i had my lapband 10 years ago the only thing i had complaint about was the gas. this time around i will do everything and anything to get that gas out.

Amen! Thanks for the tips! How bad was the gas? To get rid of it, is it meds, exercises, etc? I read that the gas was the most painful part after surgery. The incision pain I'm not too worried about. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain....but gas ugh, that's another animal. Do you mind if I add you? I might have to bug you and pick your brain when time comes LOL.

No Problem ... Girl i dont know if you can read my blog its in here somewhere. When i had my band in 2006 i wrote about the excruciating gas pain. Now that i think about it (lol) i ended up stayin g in hospital for another day .. Doctor had to give me something stronger to relieve the gas (dont remember the name) i stayed an extra day because i refused to go home with this pain and so the prescription justified that. Bring your own gas x i sipped alot of hot Water walked the hallways got massages from the (male) nurse. lol..ect. ect. when it finally popped i went home. lol To tell you the truth i have a high tolerance for pain too it was easy street after the gas left. good luck and u can personal message me anytime.

OK I'll add gas x to my list of things to get...good to know! the insurance confined the receipt of my case and it's open. Waiting for a person/case manager/determinor?? to be assigned to it. I wish we could see the status online somewhere instead of hounding ppl over the phone.

the last time i called my insurance i asked the same question. How come i cant see anything pending or received there should be a place n there that can tell us everything we need to under OUR contract. They dont even have bariatric coverage information i had to ask them for a copy of it from the handbook that i dont have and requested another one. they did send me the three page information in the mail but what is the point of registering if i cant get the information that i am looking for.

Oh wow! They need to step it up! I'm glad you got the info at least. Yeah, call centers might see a slight decrease, if we had access to all of this info online. Makes like easier for everyone.....and I'm calling again later on today LOL
