lol I've been watching you videos for a whiile. I'm happy you came back =]

I found out last minute that I have to start my 3 week diet on monday. I don't even know what foods i'll miss at this point but I do know I want to have a food funeral before monday! XD

lol you're absolutely right. I could be worse, I could have been denied. =]

Seasons greetings~ I start my two week liquid diet on the 31st of this month. I wanted to know if anybody has some suggestions on what products are good during this time. I'm going to check in with my Doctor next week to discuss what I should have during that time. I know the basics of Jello, Protein shakes, broth and popsicles but i'm wondering if there is anything else that i'm missing. =]

January 13th~ it can't come soon enough =D

congrats everyone! My sleeve date is on January 13th~ so excited

thanks! If I indeed do need one, I'd prefer to be out like a light. lol

congrats!

On Monday I will find out if i'm approved for the sleeve. They made my surgery date January 17. My only issue is that i'm a college student and during that time I will be taking a class that i'm only allowed two absences. If I get the surgery over the weekend (friday morning), I wonder, would I be able to attend class by monday? unfortunately I can't take the semester off because I'm literally one class away from graduating and my insurance told me i'm only approved for that week. I don't know what to do.

thank you so much! i'm so excited =D

I was approved today for the sleeve! It doesn't feel real yet. I have been working toward this since April and it was hard, there were points when I just wanted to give and just eat myself to death. Luckily there are places like this to gather strength and perspective. January 13th can't come quick enough~

Hey everyone~ I was approved today! I'm scheduled for Jan 13th in brooklyn =]

My school is pure evil lol. they literally told us if we get hit by a car and end up in the hospital that still wont excuse an absence. I don't start class until the January 9th but I will look into what I can do. =]

Thank you everyone! My school is extremely strict and this is a 6 week class. I think you're all right, I need to speak to my doctor to figure out what I can do. =]

Hey everyone~ My surgeon is Dr.Sherwinter, I have heard great things about him...but, that's from his staff. Have any of you had him? or know any stories? I've met him once..he was kind of socially awkward but that doesn't mean he isn't a good surgeon. =]

Hey everyone! i'm still waiting for approval but I know the date is set for the 3rd week of January. I hope all goes well for all of you =]

to be honest I have had the same fears. i'm 27 years old, 6'4 and 350lbs. I know none of us came into this thinking "I'd be nice to have loose skin, I can't wait to use it like a hoodie" however~ it's about being healthier and ultimately, if this is the trade off then so be it. I'm waiting to be approved for next month and i'm trying to look at the bright side of the surgery =]

I have Dr.Sherwinter too! I've only spoken to him for less than a minute but I hear great things about him.

I have been waiting for my papers to be submitted since September. It has been hell! but I remind myself that I won't remember the stresses of this experience after I get the surgery. They officially submitted my papers a day or two ago. I have healthfirst and was told I should get an answer by Monday. If I learned anything through dealing with Dr offices..you HAVE TO constantly call them, always have back up copies of your papers and be prepared to go there in person to make sure things are going smoothly because some places like to leave you in the dark, even when they need something from you. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! WE MADE IT THIS FAR
