  3. I am happy for you and the 26th will be here before you know it. Good Luck!!
  4. Good luck and keep us posted when you can.
  5. I would ask if she is in the office, then when they transfer leave a nice message with all you contact numbers(also letting them know what number(s) it okay to leave a message on). The I would wait a day and a half for a call back if no response, I would call back to see if someone is assisting her on scheduling because you have waiting and heard nothing back yet. Good Luck keep us posted. I understand some of what you are going through, I was approved in Feb. and they said 4-6 month wait for a DATE then I heard 8-12 months for a DATE. I called a few times got no response. Then I called and said I need to comfirm information because I was going to self pay in Mexico if it was correct. Then I got a call back the same day! LOL
  6. 6 oz a day, I think you are lightheaded, because you need more, your are running on fumes. I would double check with your doctor and just make sure you heard them correctly. That is very little. Good Luck and keep us posted!
  7. How much protien are you taking in, you just mentioned water intake.
  8. Good luck to you!! I hope you get approval the first time and move forward with your date!! Keep us posted.
  9. A good question, that I hadn't thought of! Thanks for posting
  10. You have already come so far!! Just keep pushing forward, The preop diet will be over before you know it. Just think you are so close to what you have worked for your surgery. You made it thru the 5 months so you can make it thru the preop diet. I would love to be where you are right now, I was approved on 5th of Feb. and I'm still waiting for a date and have a few more months to wait. Good Luck!!
  11. it depends on your insurance because some people have passed me with their process. I have kasier, I did 6 months with nutr, psy eval, sleep study and got approved in Feb. but I was told there is a 6 month wait for a date because they are short a surgeon. June 6 will be my 4th month of waiting for a date. But I did call last week to find out they have hired a new surgeon for the hospital I am assigned. So with two surgeons, I am hoping it will not be longer than 6 months of waiting.
  12. You look great!! good luck with pushing forward for your personal goal!! I'm sure you will make it. WOW 32 to a 16 your my hero!
  13. I would also wait until after you are at your goal weight, because of where you want it. I have some on my arms that I am sure are gonna look a little crazy after I start to shed pounds. Good LucK
  14. congrats on your weight loss you look great... how many months out are you?
  15. First thing first good luck to you. Do you have various flavors of protien available to you, bottled water, chicken broth. Most importantly a person to help you for the first day or so. But I think the list in pinned in pre or post-op sections. Good luck to you and keep us posted.
  16. Good luck I hope it works out for you and you can move forward and keep you date! Keep us posted on what happens,
  17. It's okay to be a little nervous, I am sure I will too once my time comes. But just trying to think of all the good things that will come from you having the sleeve. Just stay focused on all the positive stuff. Good Luck to you and keep us posted.
  18. I am happy for you, I can't wait until my phone rings with a date!! Good Luck and keep us posted
  19. Glad it went smoothly!! Good Luck
  20. You are so close, just hold on you can make it. You have had it this far keep pushing!
  21. saw some good stuff!! I just shared with a few others. Thanks
  22. Yes it does sound like you are moving right along. Good Luck to you.
  23. I had my eval with kasier it was done over the phone. They asked questions to see if you were stable enough to make an informed choice. A lot of the questions were yes or no, based on that you got a score. Depending on the score they let you know if you needed to come in and see someone for further discussions.
  24. Congrats on getting your date!! I can't wait to get mine. It will be here before you know it. Good Luck
  25. Good Job you are working that sleeve!! That's what I want to loose and I see you made it happen! Thanks for posting.
