Is this normal?
I agree with you! I am completely heartbroken!
Congratulations!!!
My doc hasn't mentioned a drain at all??
You have a 6 month Pre-Op diet with Anthem?? I went in on Oct 17 for my Pre-Opp Evaluation visit and had my approval November 6th. I am scheduled for my Sleeve on 12/17.
WOW!! You should definitely be covered by FMLA, I know that I would be. However I always take off over the Christmas holidays so I am just extending my time and calling it a vacation!! I will be off...
That is a great question. I was curious myself. Having mine done over the holidays there will be people to drive me!
So excited!! December 17th is my date!! I couldn't be happier!
I will be having my Sleeve midDecember (my preapproval just came back Tuesday). My sister is scheduled to have a breast reduction on January 15th, will I be able to travel 11 hours in a car to go...
My OB said 18-24 months! He is a super great doctor and he was actually the one who pushed me to explore the options of VGS. I do already have 2 beautiful children, we just wanted the possibility...
I have the Mierna, I have had it since my son was born 5 years ago. I had it swapped out on 11/2 and couldn't be happier! I love it don't have to think about it and it is removable at any time. On...
I have to say I am worried that I will be on my pre-op diet for Thanksgiving....I don't know if I will be able to not enjoy my "last meal". :)

It wasn't very long, their computer system was down and they couldn't access any files so it was a rather short visit. I did have a 376 question psyc evaluation. Talked with the nutritionist,...
Going for my initial consultation in the morning. They say I will see the Doc, Psychologist, and the Nutritionist. Any thoughts on what to expect? I am a little anxious but totally ready to get...
I am beginning the process as well. I called my insurance Anthem they said that approval will take 5 business days, with a letter of Medical Necessity. I was also told that Anthem is the easiest one...
Thank you all for your information. I have thought a lot about the procedure over the course of a few months, but when I got in there this morning the band seemed like a better choice. As I have...
Where are you currently stationed and where are you going?? My sister moved from 29 Palms last April to Lejeuine (sp). Best of luck!
Since I am new and I just went to the seminar this morning. I am curious as to why you choose to have Gastric Sleeving done over the Lap Band/Realize Band? Thanks and any information will be...
I haven't scheduled mine yet. And this is the information I am craving, post op stuff. How long do you have to refrain from normal activities such as work or driving?
Maybe we will take our journey together. I am going to an information session tomorrow! I have checked with my insurance and I have almost met my deductible so I am ready to roll!!
Hi Everyone!!
I am Rachel, and I have been considering Gastric surgery for years. I am nervous of the stigma that may come with having the surgery. I have two aunts who have been able to...
