Tomorrow is the BIG day!
kitten22996 replied to She's_Sleeved's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck!! So exited for you. Mine is on 15th and I am so nervous too. Excited, but nervous. I do not think I would be so prepared for it, if it wasn't for this forum and awesome group of people! Praying for a safe surgery for all you sleevers tomorrow -
Tomorrow Surgery...Today DIARRHEA
kitten22996 replied to karensdRN's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ooh no. I hope I don't. My surgery is the 15th. The day before I will be at work all day. I do not poop in public so this may be a problem! LOL -
Starting Pre-Op Diet and have a cold :(
kitten22996 replied to raychel74's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Girl, I am in the same situation. I have surgery on the 15th and have some kind of sinus/allergy stuff going on. I was hoping to start walking everyday leading up to surgery, but today I came home from work wiped out from feeling bad all day. I've been loading up on Benadryl and some sinus stuff. I start my preop diet on Monday- 2 Protein drinks and one meal of lean protein and a small vegetable. I just hope I get rid of this crud before surgery. -
@Pepper123-I have humana for Kentucky state employees. It is amazing. I have a little bit if a deductible, but my total out-of-pocket for the year is $2500 so that is the most I'll have to pay. I'm so excited but just a little overwhelmed that it is happening so fast. Thanks everybody for all the encouragement. I love this forum

WLS Medical Alert Bracelet
kitten22996 replied to CurvyCakes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So glad I saw this post! Would have never had thought to get one. The Laurenshope website has so many pretty bracelets. Just need to decide what to put on it. -
So I went for my 1st appt today to get the metabolic test, meet the surgeon, and talk to the insurance lady. I waited for over a month to get in. the while time I've been researching and been in here every night reading. So I have tried to prepare myself. tomorrow I have my mnt appt, pcp appt to get my referral letter for insurance, chest x ray, and EKG. I have a swallow study next Wednesday. The only thing left is the psych which they do in house so I find out when that appt is tomorrow. If insurance approves me, I will be having surgery in April. I am so ready for this, but now that it is happening, I'm feeling very overwhelmed. I haven't had an appetite all day (go figure lol). I guess I just need a little reassurance.

Thanks guys. I just needed to be babied for a minute. LOL

Anyone just starting their sleeve journey ?
kitten22996 replied to Megan00's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I go on Monday (24th) for my first appt. I went to a seminar and after I turned my new pt packet it, it took a whole month to be able to get in since the dr. only sees new pts on Mondays. My insurance is supposed to be pretty good and quick (4-6 wks) so I'm hoping I get approved and can have surgery the end of April or middle of May. I'm so excited, but a little nervous because I've only had surgery once (sinus). I've been on here for several hours every night reading. I do not think I would feel as prepared and ready for this if it wasn't for this site and everyone being so open, honest, encouraging, and helpful. -
Yay Heather!!

New Member taking 1st steps of my journey.....
kitten22996 replied to Angi~2014's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Angi! I'm also in the beginning stages of this journey. I went to the seminar last week and have my first appt with the doctor on the 24th. I am super excited but also super nervous. This site had been so wonderful. Everyone is so nice and encouraging plus really honest about their experiences. They are great cheerleaders. :-) I can't wait to hear about your journey. -

Cheating the consultation scale...
kitten22996 replied to msjoy83's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm one of those healthy fat people. Awesome blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar so I have to make sure I'm at least 40. That's why it's horrible, but I'm trying to gain a little extra just encase. -
You look awesome! Congratulations!

Cheating the consultation scale...
kitten22996 replied to msjoy83's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I go for my first appt on March 24. I am boarderline at 40 and deathly afraid I will drop below it so I confess I have been eating everything to gain a couple of pounds. My paperwork the office sent me said they weigh without shoes or coats. Once I get that first weigh in, I'll start back on Water and eating better. -
