I was 4 months post-op when I found out I was pregnant. I am now 17weeks pregnant and 7 months post-op. I have been having nausea and vomiting since about 6 weeks pregnant. But other than that everything seems to be fine

Hello my name is Debra and my surgery date is March 26th. I am doing my liver shrink diet for two weeks. It's been a struggle but I will get through it. This is day two!

I'm a nurse... I'm having my surgery March 10th at the hospital I work at. I also work 12hr shifts, at night. I am only taking 2 weeks off. I can't afford to take longer and I think it will be just fine. The people I work all know I'm having surgery and they are very helpful. If I need longer I know my manager will work with me.

My preop appt is wed. Surgery is the 12th. It's all moving so fast! We can do this!

Good luck to you! I'm a March 10th VSG too.

Another one for March 10th....it's going to be the start of something great. Good luck to the both of you...and me too

March 10th for me too. Just started pre-op diet yesterday. I'm grumpy already.

Congrats rmc I go for mine on Tuesday the 25th and I can't wait.

Congrats I feel the sane way you do I am going to do everything to ensure my success I have my pre-opt surgery meeting on March 5 I can't wait.

So I went to my preop appointment today and I found out I start my diet tomorrow and that it is not all liquids like I was expecting... 13 days to go

I LOVED Dr. Foote I had my Sleve on Jan 29th 2013. I was at St. Marys for three days, no complications, no pain meds when I went home! I can't say enough about them they are AWSOME!!

Same as me

I got my approval today for March 10
I start my pre-op diet on Monday... not sure of Protein source yet. The office has food/ protien supplements that they prefer you purchase. I'll know more on Monday based on what they recommend

I wish I had done it sooner.
I wish I had known that the bad taste would soon go away
I wish I had known about Primier Protein sooner
I wish I had known it would be easier than I thought it would be! So happy I did this for myself!!!

Just found out on yesterday I was approved for my sleeve. I must admit I was a little bit worried being that on my last appt with the patient advocate @ True Results she informed me I may or may not be approved due to #1 my BMI was not over 40 in 2012 and due toy blood pressure being under control with meds and my sleep apnea is too mild to be a factor to automatically qualify for the surgery, #2 in the course of the 6 month required visits instead of losing weight I gained 17 lbs...I received the call from the surgeon's office saying they needed me to schedule my consultation. My information was submitted less than 3 weeks ago. What a good turn around time! BTW I have BCBSMN!!

My sister became pregnant 7 months after surgery, she is currently 26weeks pregnant and her and baby are doing great

Hello today I had my first appointment with the nut. And what she told me was i won't be able to get a surgery date until maybe the first of the year. And if i miss one appointment with her. I will have to start all over again another six months. She also said your month start from the first day you meet with her.

I start my 6 months June 24th when I have my first dietician and psychologist appointment. I'm looking at surgery in Decembe. Welcome and good luck!

Welcome.... I've been considering having the sleeve done since last fall, but I only got serious about it this spring. I'm in my 6 month weight loss program, and have just been to my first month's meeting, so I have 5 months to go on it. I'm hoping by November or December to be able to schedule the surgery.
I had the Psych eval done, and my insurance wouldn't cover most of it because I wasn't accepted yet for the weight loss surgery. Well, heck! I can't even apply for that until after this 6 months! Soooo....if I were you, you may want to hold off on that part of the requirement (if your insurance requires that), until real close to the end of your 6 month diet requirement. Yep, I'm bummed....I'm rather poor and that $300.00 was not in my budget!
Anyway.... what I meant to say before I got sidetracked... was welcome!

Good luck on this journey the one thing you will learn is that every doctor , insurance , and Nutrionist are all different ... I had to do the 6month weight loss I'm down 42 lbs and my surgery is schedule for July 11 ... It will fly by trust me ... I'm so thankful I had this time to plan & read and do all my homework ... Before the big day

Hi I'm new here and am considering getting the sleeve done. My insurance requires the consecutive 6 month weight loss program before approval so if I do have it done it won't be until January ish.... Since i haven't started the 6 month program yet. I just wanted to make myself known since mainly I've just been reading other's posts to get more info. Any advice is welcome
