Does slightly elevated blood glucose mean diabetic? No, it means slightly elevated blood gluclose, possibly pre-diabetic. I am sorry that you have these ailments, but like your coordinator said, good thing you are having the surgery because you can definitely reverse all these things. From what I hear, its common to have the gallbladder removed before wls, so I wouldnt worry about that at all. Stay positive, everything is gonna work out.

So far, I have only told my 2 bffs, one of which is on her way to band to sleeve revision....and my daughter.....I havent even told my mom yet....she tends to be so freaking negative with everything that I just may wait until the day of surgery lol

You can do it!!!! Please remind me of this when I start my pre-op liquid diet...thanks lol

Ivy, When you get the urge, try taking some really deep breaths and holding them for like 5-10 secs then exhaling. It knocks the urge off. You will need to do this several times a day. Also, walking or doing jumping jacks when that urge hits helps me. Not doing high reps, but just maybe 10 or so...keep up the good work.

Thanks guys! I appreciate it :-)

BUT...I have ALMOST stopped smoking, so, YAY!!! I am down to 2 cigarettes a day...and up to 12 snacks a day lol

I cant wait to get a boob job!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah still pre-op but as I lose, they disappear!! LOL I wanna run again too, and I can't wait to wear my sexy heels again, without worrying about tipping over!!

I would suggest speaking with your doc's office and asking them the code they use to bill it and make sure its covered....if that code isnt billable, trust me, there's another one that is, that Medicaid will cover.

You can do it Shalon!!!!

Congrats!!! I hope all went well!!!

Yaaayyyy Today is your day!!!! Congrats....Keep us posted!!!

Congrats!!

Great response Sassy!

Thanks for the advice....I appreciate it!

Hey All, Hopefully I will be starting a new job soon and I am also expecting to be sleeved in Oct or Early Nov. That wont be 90 days of work and I wont have any vacation time (obviously)....what should I tell the job? Because there is NO WAY I am postponing surgery...Can they fire me? Being out of work this long (4 months) I am anxious to work again, however, I have been waiting on surgery forever!!! I am too close to wait!!!

Who cares about reactions? Your life is at stake! Kick your fear in the butt & do what's best for YOU!

Congrats!!!!

You will Dave!!! Congrats to all who had surgery!!

I agree with Kelly...Call the Dr....even go to the office one day and sit there if you have too...

It seems as if, since I am so close to getting approved and getting my date, I have been trying to eat every thing in sight!! I have been eating all kinds of sweets and I am not even a real sweet eater. Its like since I know I wont be able to eat it soon, I am trying to eat all I can now. I think in the last week I have gained at least 5 pounds (at least I feel like I have). I dont want to weigh and confirm my thoughts. I feel like a drug addict that has committed to go into rehab but wants to get as high as possible before going.....smh....
