I have UHC too. Once my paperwork was submitted, they came back wanting a sleep study and a psychologist report. Then once my doctor's office received that information, it was 4 days later I got the approval.

That's good! Wishing you the best in your continued recovery.

Awesome! Sammie how long did you take off work because you job requires standing up most of the time.

Cali I would call the chiro anyway. There might be something he can with you sitting down or standing up. All the best to you. Let us know what happens.

Good luck Sandra! You will be fine. I was sleeved yesterday. I'm now at home and feeling good. My prayers are with you.

Best of luck Njsharon. I'll be prating for you -- you'll just fine.

1st day post op. can't believe I really made this decision. So excited. The only problem I had was pain &nausea but anytime I asked for meds they gave them to me. It feels so good to be on the Losers Bench! Thanks to each of you for your prayers and support.

Its almost 4:30 am and I'm on my way to the hospital to start my new life. Thanks to this forum for fantastic support! See you on the Loser's Bench! Keep me in your prayers. :-)

Thank you all. Just got off work and moving into my surgery pre-paredness mode for tomorrow morning. I'm packing very light. I'm not nervous yet--that will probably happen when I put on the hospital gown and get on the rolling bed with the little curtain divider. I will report in with you all tomorrow or Wednesday.

Thanks Gene. I'm busy because I'm at work today. Trying to get off a little early so I can run out for SF Popsicles, crystal lite, gasX, water, & other supplies Will be making a clear broth soup tonight. I'm getting excited!!!!!

Omg! You are tough! Back to work already? I'm very impressed. Please keep us posted on your progress!

Me too.....counting the hours with you!! I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. My friend who has had the surgery is going with me and staying the night in the hospital with me. I have confidence in my doctor. Saying a prayer for you and all others having surgery this week. Will anyone be with you at thevhospital, blonde gal? All the best and God speed!

Lisa's, how long ago was your surgery?

Tyvette, I'm having surgery Tuesday. I'm saying a prayer for you tonight for courage and peace of mind for the best possible decision for you and your health.

You sound good barn girl. Keep up the good work.

Good for you Delta. Way to go!

Thank you for posting your after sleeve experience for those of us about to get on board with this experience! Wishing you continued success.

Loops sorry, I thought your post said May 8 but I see you are already sleeved. Wishing you even more continued success in your journey! It is the journey of life.

Mamamia! I'm May 8 too! We can be sleeve sisters. Last night I didn't sleep well because the date is approaching fast. I would love to keep in touch regarding our sleeve experiences. My email is artgirl709@gmail.com. Best of luck & God speed.. P.S. I will be having surgery in Houston,TX at 7:30am

Good luck and God speed!

I thanks Emilie for your thoughts. I'm going in on May 8 for surgery. Am very excited and nervous too!

I've read somewhere on a blog here that there is some type of loan company for the surgery or perhaps some of the surgeons in Mexico work out an arrangement. IDK but it's worth looking into.

Me too! Love Drive-ins, Diners & Dives. The chef with the spikes blonde hair. Having surgery on Tuesday---am a Cajun. And you know Cajuns love their food!

Kfitch many people don't understand and don't try to put themselves in our shoes. You should have said, "I've never thought of walking"! Wow people don't have a clue. Welcome here! We are all supportive. Congratulations on your decision.
