Hi! I'm 34 and waiting to be sleeved on 8/31. Insurance won't cover it, apparently I'm not fat enough. They want me on my deathbed before they'll pay. So, instead I'll be heading to Mexico at the end of next month. I'm planning to start the diet next week. It's not required for me but seems wise. I've already started to wean myself of caffeine, so hard! I loooove coffee, guess I'll have to go decaf. sigh.

Tameka, how did surgery go? Hope you're well!

I swear I don't Google naked lady games! The one on my screen now is called 'Dafk Summoner' it looks kinda gross! I wonder if j get these because my phone knows I like phone games (yahtzee, scramble, etc)?

I only see adds for weird phone games. Often times with half naked cartoon ladies. So weird!

Sorry to hear you're disappointed, don't give up hope. Its possible you could still meet your goals. Would you mind sharing your beginning stats? Starting weight, BMI, etc Thanks!

I am nervous but it just feels right. I know it's the best choice for me and that the time is now. I'll let you know how it goes!

I'm going to Aceves on 8/31!

I'm booked for 8/31 with Aceves! Let's stay in touch

Leah, When is your surgery? I am scheduled w/ Aceves at the end of August. I live in Portland.

Hello, I will be seeing Dr Aceves at the end of August. I'd love to hear updates from you!

I was planning to discuss my plans with a friend at lunch yesterday but I chickened out. She takes a very holistic approach to everything and I am worried that she will judge me / attempt to dissuade me. After lunch I regretted not telling her. I plan to see her again this weekend and will bring it up then.

Hi everyone! I really need to find a new primary care physician here in PDX. Of course, I would really like one who is WLS friendly or who at least has experience with WLS patients. Can anyone recommend a doctor for me?

Hi, I have providence and am just getting started in the process. I was originally planning to go to Mexico and just pay cash. Today I was given reason to believe that I may get insurance coverage for the sleeve. I'll post more as I go through the process.

I think you need more calories per day to support your activity level. You'll likely boost your metabolism if you up your caloric intake.

I am pre-op and this is one of the things I am most worried about. NO caffeinated coffee? Not EVER again? Is this recommended due to the de-hydration side effect of caffeine?
