Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Congratulations!!! I know there are several of us that are older that want to conceive post op! U give me hope!!!! Please keep us post.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Great question! I will ask about my follow-ups.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I am writing my doc and email with my list of questions because I am sure to forget something during my pre-op appt. What am I missing? Here is what I have so far: Per Surgery Questions- What is your procedue to reduce the risk of blood clots? What are other possible complications? How long is the surgery? How many incisions will I have? How many days will I be in the hospital? I have read about bougie size, what size do you use? And what determines what size you use? How long should I be out of work? When can I start exercising after surgery? What type of Vitamins should I take post surgery? Will I work with Claudia for pre/post-surgery diet? How long after surgery can I have sex? What is your recommend what time for pregnancy after surgery? 12 months, 15 months? Thanks!

Congratulations! I have BCBS/Federal too. I emailed in at 8:00 AM on the 29th and was approved by 1:45 PM on the same day. Get this they even had to translate documents because I am in S. America! Yeah, FEPBLUE!!!

Congratulations! You look great.

Me too!

Congratulations! I wish u the best. It is our wish to conceive after surgery. I am older, but still have hope. Keep us posted on how u r feeling!

You look fantastic. You look like a different person. I know you have a big smile on your face!

U might want a new surgeon. R they trying to push ur towards RNY?

I have federal bcbs and was approved. Dr stated in letter I was getting sleevedm there r several people on the boards that have federal and got approved!

Yes, you are better off without him. What if u were married and tough times arise? Do u think he would jump ship? U don't need or want a guy like that in ur life, trust me. It is an amazing feeling having a man stand by ur side and he is sincere in his support. U r making life changes. U will be stronger for it and u will find someone who loves and supports u no matter what!

Can I just tell you how awesome that is!!! You have kick azz curves. And no visible scaring. Good fo you!

I started my pre-op diet well before I decided to have surgery. About 1 year to be exact. I had my first appt July 18 and got approved 8/29. Still waiting on surgery date.

You are welcome. You will find a lot of information good, the bad and the ugly on these boards. If you have a question I am sure it has an answer and has been asked on here. Good luck and keep us posted! What type of pre-op diet do you have?

You look great! Where are your incisions? I don't see any in your photos.

Congratulations!

That it is, I would say....wow! I am hoping to get my surgery done this month so I have some time. I think the holiday's is a tough time, but if you can get through that you will def. master your sleeve!

I do not see me changing a thing. It is rare occasion to actually cook so much at one time and I enjoy it. I like to bake as well. Every Christmas Eve I bake cookies with our six year old. I was just wondering emotionally how I would do. My mom asked me am I gonna be okay around all that food. I told her I will be able to eat just less.

Awww my poor buddy!!! I hope u feel better soon. Drink plenty of fluids! U are almost there my friend.
