I am day 2!! I am miserable' date=' I have zero energy my head is pounding and my stomach is hurting. I hate everyone lol. I am 2-3 shakes, Jello, broth and I all I want is something solid! ![/quote']

Me too, OMG! I never thought I wanted food so bad until 2 days ago. I'm on 4 shakes, broth, and Jello and popsicles. I just want some MEAT!!! LOL. I hope it gets better. 2 weeks seem so far away when you cant eat. Its like I'm going through food rehab. Ha

July 2nd!!

Hi everyone...I'm a Louisiana country girl soon to be sleeved in July!!

Let me know how your surgery goes. So far all the staff has been wonderful. I guess thats why my insurance had me drive 75 miles! LOL but its been worth it

Me too!

Hi EllaJo. Im having my surgery at the Oschner on Jefferson in NOLA on the 2nd of July. I from East Feliciana Parish area

Hi everybody, screaming all the way from Louisiana to let all now just found out this morning that I got approved by UHC and my surgeons office called with a surgery date of July 2nd. So excited yet a little nervous because it's major surgery but I've wanted this for a while and I can't wait.

Hi I'm also a newbie to the site and whole weightloss process. I'm from Louisiana as well and I've wanted to have the surgery for 3 years now. I had to weight until I change insurances from BCBS of Louisiana to UHC. I have started my process and have been in contact with my RN case manager at UHC. They surgeons I had in mind I had to change because with UHC you have to use a Center of Excellence so I have to go to meet with them on January 23rd. I've already started my 6month required diet and I only have to do 3 more month so by reading and blogging on VST I hope to learn alot to make my process easier.
