Thank you very much!

I am now 2 days post op. I have my IV fluids out and am eating. Chicken broth, sugar free jello and a clear protein drink. I am not tolerating plain water very well at all. But I am up and walking. I am pretty sore but should get to go home tomorrow.

Thank you very much!

Hello my name is Sarah. I turned 30 about a month ago and I was hoping to have my surgery the same day. My thought behind that: turning 30 scared the hell out of me and I thought giving myself the gift of health was perfect. Things didn't go as planned because you know, insurance. I have 2 little boys, 8 & 5, that mean the world to me and the reason for my surgery. I want to set a good example for them and be around to meet my grandchildren. I was scheduled for gastric bypass but was really wanting the sleeve. My insurance changed their guidelines on 9/24 and I was approved for the sleeve. Surgery was yesterday, 10/01/12. I am laying in the hospital bed extremely sore and tired. Yet all I can think of is being able to run and play with my kids. I can only imagine how great I'll feel when I drop this extra 100.

Eeeek, got my arrival time for surgery today. It's getting real!!!

Ahhhh, got my arrival time for surgery. It's getting real!

Got my insurance approval today. Surgery scheduled 10/01. Final meeting with the dietician on 9/18 to start my official pre-op diet. Couldn't be happier!!!

Thank you! Actually got my surgery date this afternoon, October 1st. I meet the dietician on September 18th and start my official pre-op diet. Same diet he put me on 8/21, very very low carb and high Protein. I just got approval from the insurance company today. Some doctors put patients on a liquid pre-op but I guess mine isn't one of them, thank you Jesus! I was hoping for an earlier surgery date but it works out better this way. He's getting married the end of September and I've got people scheduled off for vacation at work. Eeeeek, so excited!

Apparently I'm to excited to proofread!

Just got word, I insurance approved!!!

Well that sounds like fun, lol. Glad you're doing well.

My husband is planning on helping out. He better I nursed him through 2 back surgeries, lol. How are you feeling?

Thank you all!

Hello my name is Sarah. So I'm turning 30 in a few days and I was hoping to have my surgery the same day. My thought behind that: turning 30 scares the hell out of me and I thought giving myself the gift of health was the perfect present. Things aren't going as planned because you know, insurance. I have 2 little boys, 8 & 5, that mean the world to me and the reason for my surgery. I want to set a good example for them and be around to meet my grandchildren. Don't have a surgery date yet but I'm more than ready. Already on my pre-op diet. 4 days of no breads, milk, fruits or sugars and I feel amazing. I can only imagine how great I'll feel when I drop this extra 100.

My surgeon put me on a pre-op diet w/ no bread, milk, sugar or fruit. Very high protein. So I'm basically eating turkey/chicken/veggies/salad. So far I've lost 5 this week.

I was a 6th of a pound to light a couple years ago, I'm just hoping they aren't to picky. My surgeon says not to worry he'll fight it if the buck it. Still has my stomach in knots though.

I'm a newbie too, welcome.

I'm at the point where everything depends upon my insurance. I'm so nervous and excited. I've already started my pre-op diet and am feeling great.
