I wish my insurance would pay, but at least there were no hoops for me to jump through being private pay. I decided in December to have surgery and it was booked the same day I asked, and now surgery is today. It's scary how easy it was but I am very confident in my surgeons skills, and I know I need this to be healthy. In hindsight I almost wish I had those hoops to jump through because I'm kind of regretting not being more prepared for it. I'm a "fly by the seat of your pants" kind of person apparently.

I had my sleeve surgery on January 3rd. I am home now and feeling pretty good. I started my shakes and Vitamins, slowly. Just a bit sore, but no worse than when I had gallbladder surgery. I am not hungry, which is great. I am drinking slowly. And walking around the house a few minutes every hour. I'm on my way😇

Good luck everyone.

I had my surgery 2 days ago. All went well. Dr said it was difficult due to excessive scar tissue from prior surgery, but really i am feeling great other than nausea. Getting discharged shortly. I swear my shirt is already looser on me. Nice!

Congratulations. I had my surgery on the 3rd. I am already trying no pain meds today. And no nausea meds. Just drinking slowly, taking Vitamins. I cameout of hospital weighing 13 lbs heavier because of the gasses and fluids. I am down 11 lbs now and feeling better. Remember, it gets better everyday.

Having got off to a bad start, the last few days of my preop diet have been much easier. Hope everyone else is finding that it gets easier with time too xx

I wont have access to a scale again until i fly home on the 10th, probably a good thing since im sure i have swelling and fluids from the IV still. I feel like i should be in pain, but hardly none. This is wonderful. I'm so relieved since my healh insurance will not pay for anything obesity related or complications from surgery. It sounds like youre doing equally well, and that is awesome to read.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
