  2. Hi I was sleeved at Vanderbilt on 10/24. No problems so far, just struggle with the water intake. My doc was Dr Clements.
  3. I have done the samething. You will do just fine when getting noticed, cause unlike before you are now following through with this and.the weight will.fall off and you will feel fantastic.
  4. I had my surgery on the 24th got home on the 25th all went well. Woke up this.morning I feel like a truck ran over me. Drinking a Protein drink this morning, only a few sips off course. Otherwise feel good, no nausea just pain cause all my pain meds wore off. Taking some liquid loratab to ease the pain. Hope all went well with my fellow sleevers.
  5. I am at the hospital waiting till 6am to be called back for preop. Surgery at 8am. I am exited scared all at the same time. Good Luck to all sleevers getting sleeved today and everyone else getting sleeved in the next few days Save my seat on the losers bench!
  6. Tomorrow is my day! Today is my last day at work. Nervous, excited can't wait. Good luck to all!
  7. Good luck tomorrow, my day is Wednesday!
  8. I can't believe it! Getting sleeved on October 24th I am stocked up and ready to go. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to do something good for myself "ME" I am following through with this. I can do it
  9. My date is Oct 24th. I am getting excited and scared all at the same time.
  10. This sounds good. I am going to some appointments I have tomorrow . Surgery is scheduled October 24. I didn't have a preop diet like some has had yet, I have been eating what I want .I am sure I will be on a preop diet tomorrow and until surgery
  11. I am getting nervous, first off I get sleeved Oct 24 and have appointments on Oct 18, nothing yet on preop diet. I will be put on the liquid diet and will have to drink miralx or whatever. I hear a lot of you are on liquid diets for 2 weeks. My doc had said nothing about this. I have been eating foods I should not be eating but I feel like someone on death row getting my last meal. I hope my liver has time to shrink. I guess my doc knows what he's doing.
  12. I am 52 and going to Vanderbilt with Dr Clement on the 24th I can't weight...LOL
  13. I am also in Nashville surgery is Oct 24. At Vanderbilt with Dr Clement
  14. I am also approved,just today the.nurse called . I am suppose to get a.call For the surgery. I am feeling pur Dee good.
  15. All appointments done, nurse Just submitted to my insurance company. This is getting more real. I cant wait.
  16. Found out the Sleep study determined I had the dreaded sleep apnea. I go in this sat the 8th to wear the cpap machine . All I have left to do is the group support meeting on the 15th then can be sent to insurance For approval. This has been some struggle getting here and am so ready. Any one had to use the cpap machine or whatever its called?
  17. Just went to the sleep disorder doctor and even though I have no trouble sleeping he want me to do an overnight sleep test next available appointment is Sept 27 I am on stand in if someone cancels. I had hoped I would get the surgery by then. Keeping fingers crossed someone will cancel, their loss my gain lol
  18. Before you pay slot of money for anything,think about this, you will have to let your hair grow out and enough wants that. I use the tweezee. It cost 15 bucks ,uses 2 ASSs batteries. I take the plastic shield off when I use it cause I want to get those just new hairs that are coming in. I use it in the mornings, cause you know they grow fast. You don't even have to look when you do it, just dance across your face, chin,neck until you don't feel any more and skin is smooth. They are made good and I am 52 and have been plucking since 15 or so, I have never shaved this area, I have waxed, dyed white, and threaded, I think this is the best thing to use, its gets ALL hairs except a few stubborn or ingrown hairs, then I would pluck. Hope this helps, Google tweezes.
