Love me some Pointer Sisters
Really happy for you! And extra yays for the thyroid meds. I know exactly how you feel...human again!Best NSV - fitting on a kid's amusement park ride with my 4 yr old grandson!
CFIDS =Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) Also dx with post-bariatric reactive hypoglycemia; and chronic gastritis (both sleeve complications). Permanently disabled.
Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.

Re: I'm so excited I can't hide it no more :-)
Hi Texgal... I am Considering A Gastric Sleeve with Dr Davidson too. How has your whole process been? Are you having any issues with your insurance? I have been trying to find out around how much I have to pay but it has been like pulling teeth with my insurance.
I lost 20 lbs on pre-op diet.
The rest is post-op victory.

Re: I'm so excited I can't hide it no more :-)
I really like Dr Davidson if I had any problems he would call me. He is a great Dr . I have had issues with insurance ,but I have gotten stayed on top of them and got approved. To me a lot of the problems are in dr offices they know what your company required to approve Dr Davidsons office really seems to know what the insurance requires. As for how much it costs the dr office was really good at telling me what my cost was.

Re: I'm so excited I can't hide it no more :-)
Do you have to pay for the hospital stay separately? Or is it included with the fee for the doctor?
