AGGGGG! My surgeon had an emergency and cancelled my surgery tomorrow! I rescheduled for the 23rd...but I had worked everything out with my kids and family and I was SO ready...and now I have to re-order everything. I am frustrated!!!! I was so ready, relaxed and prepared...grrrrr!

Got my date officially the 15th of november, so excited!

I just got my official date! November 15th in the afternoon! So excited and nervous! Anyone else having surgery on this day?

Hello! I was hoping for an October date but my insurance approval came through yesterday! Yay! I have an app with my surgeon tomorrow to set my date! It could not happen fast enough!!!!' I am hoping for next week! God bless the 'thankful' month of sleevers!!! Will repost when I get my date!

Yay! Stay in touch I'd love to have a fellow sleever AI close to stay in contact with!

Thanks guys! Any specific questions I should ask?

It's got my official insurance approval!!!! I am so excited and terrified all at the same time! I have a Wed app with my surgeon to set my date! It feel like forever that I have been waiting for this day an now it feels surreal!

I have old clothes that are boxed up that I don't fit in anymore from times I lost weight that didn't stick. Though I am really excited about shopping when I get there! I to have thought of shopping now but after doing some reararch on here, many suggest waiting because you lose so fast!

I'm from Santa Clara but now live in Texas! If I'm ever in town! good luck!!!

Just from researching; everyone is different. Some people bounce back are home in 24 hours, don't ever use pain meds and are fully functional withing days...others struggle more spend a few days in the hospital and it takes them weeks to feel whole again. Some of this depends on bmi, age and previous physical activity and some of it has no baring what so ever! So you could be fine after a week or you could need a lot more time. If I were you...I would tell your professors about your surgery and ask for a week baring complications and then the door is open of there are! good luck!!!!!

For the theigh area try a homemade mask. Make a paste with baking soda and any face wash and let it sit for awhile on the skin then wash off repeat twice a day really clears up pores. Also try mixing lotion, coffee grounds (can ised already used ones) and olive oil together to make a rub for your stretched out skin. Works wonders!

Gladiator from Smoothie King!

Try this, in a bowl mix together 4 cups fat free milk, chocolate protein powder to taste, 1 can condensed milk (unsweetened) and fat free/ sugar free cool whip then put it in an ice cream maker and follow directions. Makes a frostie like consistency in an hour or so in mine and it is fantastic! Also take 4 ripe bananas slice and freeze for an hour, then put them in a blender with chocolate protein powder and blend until smooth it makes banana ice cream it is so good! Both made in prep for this adventure and look forward to making them after I am sleeved!

Me too! My doctors office however is dancing around a week after they originally said it would be sent in! They told me to call this afternoon to check back....so frustrated! I'll be praying for you. Keep me updated on your approval!
