Can anyone give me some tips and pointers on how to file an appeal with my insurance company? I got the letter of denial and plan to appeal as I have documented proof on my back and neck pain for at...
Not the choice I'd make after only being 2 months out. I wasn't allowed any carbs like fruit until I lost 75% of my weight! did I cheat occasionally yes. But don't go back to your old habits so...
Maybe 3-5 days after surgery for most of the help but I was told no lifting over 25 lbs or more until 1 month after surgery. Some people breeze through feeling like nothing happened but I had a tough...
I take Nexium and sucralfate for mine. I also had post nasal drip that added even more nauseous feelings.
Naked & Odwalla smoothies are very high in fruit sugar and calories, stay away. If your doctor didn't give you any nutrition guidelines, PM me and I will email you my NUT gave us. Where did you have...
It's probably from being intubated during surgery (the tube down your throat) it could also be acid reflux, buy some OTC Nexium and gas strips until you can talk to the doctor.
Also nothing with sugar like apple juice or cranberry juice, did the surgeons office not give you a diet to follow? I was on liquid only for the first week, then puréed or soft proteins until about 3...
I'm the same age as your mom, I was type 2 diabetic with high blood pressure and severe back and knee pain that has gotten much better since. I still have a lot of back issues but hope that a breast...
You're too newly sleeved to be worrying about 1 pound, just be patient and relax. You just had major surgery and your body is adjusting. If you follow the plan the weight will come off. My only...
I'm just starting to explore options as I think my insurance will cover it but haven't seen a plastic surgeon yet. I did go see a dermatologist and start documenting skin rashes so I have that first....
If your policy excludes Bariatric surgery unfortunately it doesn't look good for getting them to cover it. It's an add on that many employers drop to get a lower rate, maybe discuss with HR or...
I had several, fit into an airline seat without an extender and the person next to you shooting dirty looks, tuck my shirt into my jeans and go zip,lining. I have to say I have done all three.
I've read numerous posts about pain meds not being the same as in the US for the sleeve procedure but is this the same for a tummy tuck or breast reduction? I'm hoping insurance will cover mine and I...
It is as Journey states, depends on what your employer chose as part of their policy. My employer just switched to Humana and I don't have insurance thru them as I have thru my husband which is also...
I have suddenly gained about 18 pounds and am alarmed and concerned that I did all the hard work to have it come back. I did have a major sinus infections about 2 1/2 months ago that I was given an...
I also had Dr. Rosenthal and went thru similar experience but I had a hernia fixed at same time and got 2 extra holes. They kept me 5 days instead of the 2 because I couldn't even get a sip of...
It all depends on the doctor, hospital and your insurance. I was scheduled for 3 days but had a hernia fixed and some b/p issues that kept me for 5. I had a private room in a critical care unit with...
My urine smells from the vitamins which is normal I hear but it still bothers me
Mine was supposed to be 3 days and ended up being 5, I had a hernia fixed that the doctor found during surgery. I was in no way ready after 3 days to go home but maybe the hernia is what caused my...
Wow, at 5 days post op I was still gagging on water. But everyone does slip, your stomach did what it's supposed to do and let you know. Hang in there it does get better and you will lose the weight.
I was on metformin and actos before surgery and after I only took metformin for about another 3 months after surgery. I haven't had to take anything for over a year but my endocrinologist said weight...
Be patient, it will come off. I wasn't a big loser the first 6-7 months like others but suddenly 20-30 pounds came off in 2 months. As long as you follow the program it will work.
It all depends on what kind of plan you have, each employer adds or removes benefits to control costs. I had BCBS before and they didn't cover at all and then when I got on my hubby's Humana it...
Baby wipes are a lifesaver, the stuff you drink for the swallow test had unpleasant side effects later.
