Anyone looking at an August surgery date?

  • Popular Post

My last appointment for my supervised weight loss will be at the end of July so I'm looking at a sleeve date in August and would love to find some others that will be sleeved around that time as well. I think it would be awesome to keep track of each other via Facebook and have a mini support group!

    My doctors office called the insurance even before he would see me and when it was approved I started the treatment 6 months ago.I am curious to find out about the hospital bill. Do I have to pay when I get admitted to it or on my way out?

    Usually you will need to pay co-pay upfront before you are taken in.

    I've just had a ton of work travel. Cleveland clinic florida has been patiently waiting for months for me to be here long enough to recover. Need an update clearance from my primary July 12, my pre surgery visit with surgeon Aug 5 and surgery august 10. It's all planned now. Can't wait.

    Had my pcp appointment today and I'm down 5.6 lbs this month. They puts me at 20.something in the last 2 months. I've got 8 more lbs to go before my surgery and at least a month and a half to do it in so I should be fine. Best advice I can give for pre-op patients is don't wait until the 2 week diet or the surgery to start changing your eating habits. I do 2-3 Protein shakes/drinks a day and a low carb dinner. I've bee doing this for 2 months now. I have seen far far too many people flipping out when the 2 week diet time comes and not sure if they can do it and cheating. I think it's best if we prepare ourself physically and mentally. I've also gotten to try many protein products and know which ones I do and don't like.
