I did not get a second opinion. I have absolute faith in my surgeon! I didn't need one for insurance either. I did have an endoscopy. Other than that and my surgeons note, nothing else was required.
I will definitely keep you up to date with everything. Kind of excited, kind of nervous!
Surgery date 4/27/18 !!!
Congratulations!!! Yay!! You'll be done and recovering before you know it. Please keep me updated if you think about it!!!
Did you get a second opinion? Is it necessary? My doctor said exactly what I'd been reading so I'm not sure if I need to mess with it. A nurse friend said, the biggest decision you need to make is what surgeon to use!! That put things into perspective!
Oh my go****hink I own the very same loving kitty ??? ?!
I know she really just wants and needs affection... but I actually let her go 2 my Parents temporarily because she just kept waking m up .
Not to mention tearing the expensive and large window screens because she wants to mate .
She?s a purebred *****hilla Persian so very expensive and beautiful and ( normally well behaved ) but now she?s pretty mu*****ontrollable ..... I bought her a bridegroom for a hot weeekend last year for a few thousand dollars and that finally got her ( and m) some relief .
And she had the cutest sweetest kittens- right on my bed - but she loves m and trusts m .
Tiny mice basically .
My Mom and Dad had a great time cuddling and supervising them .... so everything has a positive side . but I need to find her another bridegroom... she?s seriously desperate lol .
Good Morning!
I received insurance approval and my surgery is July 12th. Beyond excited to get this done. My reflux was so bad last night ?.
I will be sure to update!
Surgery date 4/27/18 !!!
My appointment was last week. He recommended RNY and he'd repair the hernia at the same time. I am going for a second opinion to make friends and family happy, but I have two bariatric nurse friends, one a VSG patient and the other a RNY patient. Both agree with the surgeon. Part of what one of them said is this;
The risk of esophageal cancer from reflux is a good reason to do something...... you'll make the right decision..... hang in there! ?
I hope to hear something by the end of the week. Good luck, how long do they think it will take to hear from insurance?
Have a great Monday!!
It wasn't even a guy I wanted 2 date .
. To me he wasn't attractive- he was old and way uglier than anyone I'd want or even possibly; drunk and stoned ) want 2 hav sex with.
Yet this is like the meanest boy I ever met .
You know - a couple of extra pounds in my middle does NOT make m an unattractive grrrl . In any way .
And PLEASE don't call m crazy for pointing this out .
Thank you so much for the response! I wish you well. I hope my insurance is as easy as yours was for the revision. I was self pay with the VSG.
My appointment was last week, as expected, he recommended RNY. I don't doubt him at all, but I do have an appointment with a doctor in Dallas later in July. (Who did you use and would you recommend him/her?) I have two friends from support groups in Dallas (we lived there 6 years), both are bariatric nurses. One had VSG, the other had RNY. Both agree with what the doctor told me. I really count them as a second and third opinion, but will still see the physician in Dallas.
I see you're in TX, but didn't see where you live. We are in East TX but going to Dallas or even Houston wouldn't be a big deal.
Thank you for the info, I appreciate it!!!
Bariatric Advantage, unfortunately, aren't anywhere near adequate for the distal. The distal and the DS are very similar and I was warned years ago about BA vitamins. The first year of my DS I took something called Vita4Life, very similar to BA. I was adding so much extra I just stopped the V4L and went to individual vitamins.
Check out BioTech - they have an entire line of dry vitamins. You need individual vitamins - not a catch all like BA. I take mostly BioTech with a double Centrum 50 and a few other additions - A D E K1 K2 and a few added minerals.
Good luck.

Hi,
I've asked my doctor for years to send me for a surgery referral I have severe fatty liver, pre diabetic, knee pain, I believe I'm having gallbladder attacks( was sent for tests dr said because of my weight they couldn't see anything) but nothing has been done afterwards. He keeps saying try loosing some weight. I've been yoyo dieting since I was 8. I lose weight once I stop I gain it all back and then some.At my recent dr app he said I have severe scarring on my liver so try and lose weight. I ask for a referral and he says no he doesn't agree with it. I do t know what else to do Does anyone know of a dr in the Halton/peel area that will refer me for surgery. Thank you
PLEASE let me shed some light on this subject. I have already had surgery. My husband has always been able to lose weight on his own, if he tried. I did not want nor encourage him to have bariatric surgery but he did...I AM NOT ATTRACTED TO SMALL/SLIM MEN. That is all the problem is for me. He knows this, I warned him of this but he went through with it anyway. Not to mention that he is naturally very competitive and I am not so let's throw that in the mix. I am still waiting to find all this great energy everyone says will come, meanwhile he is a week out and biking, walking etc. By the end of my workday, I am exhausted. Nevertheless, the point is what I said in the beginning. IM NOT ATTRACTED TO SMALL MEN. MAJOR issue in a marriage if you ask me.
