I'm also on June 26 surgery was delayed from May 22 due to needing antibiotics and prilosec.

I was scheduled for May 22nd but my endoscopy test came back positive for h plethora? Some kind of ulcer causing bacteria that everyone carries but I have too much of it. I have to do 2 weeks of antibiotics and then be off them for 4 weeks and do another breath test, then have surgery if I'm all clear. New surgery date is June 26.

I'm getting sleeved May 22nd in Lansing. Just had my pre op endoscopy today, all went well. Exciting!

May 22nd! My mom is getting sleeved the same day, same doc, etc. We can take our post op walks in the hallway together. I an doing the liquid supplements from May 1-May 21 to lose weight and shrink liver.

I was 235 with my twins (one did not make it) and 250 with my quadruplets (all healthy and doing great) and used fertility treatments both pregnancies, not IVF I was 26 with first pg and 30 when quads were born. I'm now in the category of not wanting more than the 5 little blessings we currently have so I am going to ask the doctor if I can have my tubes tied at the same time I have the sleeve done.

My daughter had this done in the office as a toddler and didn't even cry/gag, etc. I think it sounds worse due to the long name

Paperwork was faxed last Thursday for my medically supervised diet (2 months with primary care physician and 2 months through weight loss mgmt clinic - same place that does the bariatric program). It was approved the next day (Friday) and I called yesterday to check the status...it's "approved - letters being sent"...the approval dates are Feb 7 - April 7 as the bari program has 2 weeks for medical clearances, 4 weeks for preop diet and 2 weeks to schedule surgery, I could be sleeved as soon as April, so excited!

PHP has 3 weeks to deny or approve me for the surgery. Fingers crossed!

This post makes me happy, you look awesome!

Even though this sounds dauntung...I can do it. Also, odd development, I'm supposed to start my 12 weeks of nutritional supervised dieting but today the clinic said my insurance has a clause that if you've had 6 months supervised dieting in the past 5 years and are still obese, then you can skip that and go straight to bariatric program...I could be sleeved in 2-3 months instead of 5-6, sounds too good to be true (I had supervised dieting via my primary doctor for 6 consecutive months in 2009-2010). We shall see, my primary is faxing the info to the clinic tomorrow.

Do they expect the reflux to lessen eventually? That is awesome the pain lasted under a week, makes me optimistic about returning to work in a short amount of time.

That is great! How are you feeling overall with pain, etc. and how has it been getting used to the new way of eating/drinking?

That is wonderful! Congratulations!!

congrats on your sleeve and a soon to be brand new healthier you!

Thanks for the well wishes iggy, it's Trajo (short for Tracy Jo) LOL
