    Nov Sleevers Where Are You?

    only a week? i have to do 2 weeks!!! the dr should give you some things you can have... high protein and low carbs... slimfast has a low carb version for a quick an easy "take with" ... I was told to get carbmaster yogurt from Kroger and a list of other things like sugar free popsicles

    I Hate It When People Misuse "literally"!

    the manager behind me would start stories with "what had happened was..." to each other... I still keep in touch with her, and everytime I call her, that's how I start the conversation! She always knows it is ME
  3. those little "perks" are what makes our day! Congrats! My honeybunny snuggles with me all the time, and I don't understand how he can love the blob that I feel I am... but he does... I look forward to losing weight, having more energy, and chasing HIM around the house for a change!

    I Hate It When People Misuse "literally"!

    LOL...we all have our quirks! When I was an attendance manager, at a call center, most of the reps would start out with "what had happened was..." ... and I knew to sit back and be entertained for a bit with their story telling... I wonder how much of all that was ever true

    Approved :-) Appeal Submitted Uhc

    October 4 is only 2 weeks away! You are right on schedule, since the liquid diet is suppose to be for 2 weeks pre-op... I am scheduled for October 1...my goal was to be scheduled by the end of September...so I am happy ... good luck to you!
  6. I agree with all the above... the overall situation is the only way to "survive life" at this stage, is for the surgery to be done... all have risks... but, if you are anything like me, right now I cannot do anything! I feel like a total BLOB, and with my arthritis, can't do a thing...seriously... so this is the only thing that will help me... and tho I am scared a bit of the surgery, I know the overall benefit is SO worth it!

    amazing how the English language has suffered over the years... along with acryonyms and such with texting, it's even worse! (wow, I hope I spelled "acryonyms" right) ... what I miss is common courtesy ... what happened to "please", "thank you" and "you're welcome"?

    October Sleevers

    I am scheduled for October 1, I started the process on July 11...everyone told me it would take about 3 months...so I'm right on track...I can't imagine how/why it would have taken YEARS to get your approval... is there more to that story?

    Meatball Dream

    lol...I've not had my surgery yet to have the dreams, but I can relate... being Italian, we had neckbones with our gravy (probably cuz it was cheaper)... so wasn't big on meatballs, but my fiance makes some awesome meatballs!!! ... and there are some in the freezer calling my name!!! I'm on the liquid diet right now, so that is where they will stay...for now
  17. Finally am scheduled for 10/1/12...right on schedule...my goal was to get it scheduled by the end of September... so I'm happy with that one! :) ... been on the liquid diet, not having any problems... day 4.. lost 10 pounds already, so all it good! So excited!!! :)

    How Long Off Work For An Office Job?

    everyone has to gauge that for themselves...but it's not just the job... tho a "sit down" job would be easier to go back to... but the driving, the eating, and they say the way the anethesia affects you... so everyone is different... but don't try to do it too soon!

    Did Anyone By A New Article Of Clothing Pre-Surgery?

    I LOVE your optimism...that is fantastic! I need to get a wedding dress ... but I'm waiting until my surgery is actually scheduled so I can gauge it... I've got it picked out tho... just haven't made the purchase :wub:

    Preop Tests

    I am ANOTHER pre-op test tomorrow... each person and each insurance is a bit different... I had to have an upper GI, stress test, checked by a pulmonologist and cardiologist...had to go AGAIN for my sleep apnea... then of course, the therapist, the nutritionist and NOW a Health Sessions class is mandatory... I have also had to attend a few support seminars... all good stuff, but I AM READY for my surgery!!! SCHEDULE ME PLEASE!!!

    Starting The Whole Process...

    I have what I like to refer to as a "zipper scar" from a full hysterectomy a few years ago; scar tissue all over that sucker... but so far, all the tests and everything I have had done, does not seem to indicate this will be a problem
