Hey All!! I live in Lexington... going through the 6 month requirement for my insurance. Hope to be sleeved in april 2013. Would love to find some pen pals/friends!!!!

I'm penciled in for April 22nd, two days before my birthday. Just waiting for the final word from insurance.. Finished my 6 month insurance requirement this week. Scared!

More risk for blood clots, and other complications because you don't heal as well or as quickly as a non smoker

Just got a call from my surgeon office...... I'M APPROVED!!!!! was sure it was gonna be a struggle, and was ready to be disappointed. I laughed like a loon when she told me they approved it....

my dr. told me to try the NO!No! says it works... i is expensive though... but really thinking about buying one. so tired of the excess facial hair. was hoping to hear that getting sleeved would help with that...bummer!

has anyone tried these? zero carbs.... thought i would see if anyone had any insight before i bought some.

I'm not sleeved yet.... But i think it is a fabulous idea!

What is divas boot camp? Where do your find it?

LOL.. ladies i work 11a-11p in the ER.. and those are out busiest time!!! Hoping I'll be able to figure it out...

I am a pre-sleeve ER nurse, am going through 6 month program required by insurance. I am curious how you did when you returned to work..... with getting in your fluids and Protein, eating every 2-3 hours, etc.... I know there are times now that I am on the run for hours without a break or chance to grab some food. Do you all have any advice or tips?
Thanks!!!

not taking your Vitamins can result in losing your teeth and bone fractures, as well as multiple other issues... get back on them girl! lol

I work with plastic surgeons, and they all have said they want you to be a goal for about 1 year before you have surgery. this gives your skin time to shrink on it's own and be at a stopping point. and it depends on how much skin is being removed as to how many procedures can be done at one time. don't want it to be to much trauma or shock on the body

lol.. your very welcome! i did the seminar in early sept. don't remember specific numbers, but do remember their mortality percentage is like 0.3% working in health care that nothing is guaranteed and everyone has a chance of complications.... but hoepfully we will be 2 of the lucky ones.. lol i am planning on my surgery being the beginning of next april. not telling many people because i don't really want to hear their opinions. my dr.ok with it.... my parents and best friend are very supportive.
you may want to take a small notebook to take notes if your family has lots of questions. it's a lot of info you will get that day.... good luck and let me know how it goes!!!!

i am pre sleeve, and am also going to dr. steiner. i have worked with him in the past, in the OR , and he is a great surgeon. let me know how your journey goes.... i have to do a 6 month deal with my insurance before approval

she needs to be supportive and not be stressing you out... i'm being very selective in who i'm telling and one of my very close friends is actually doing this with me. you just gotta relax and deal with the issues when they come up.. as my granny would say, "stop borrowing trouble." lol
