gettinbacktome

I had a long wait but by this time I was done. That is a long time.

I was approved for 6 weeks of FMLA. I have an office job as well. A friend of mine went back to work in 2 weeks. I may depending on how I feel stay home 2 weeks and maybe work from home a week.

I also found www.mybariatricpantry.com had samples as well that I've heard people using. I ordered last week. They should be here today or tomorrow

Hi! My date is April 20th. I had my scope this past Saturday. It goes so fast. Don't be nervous.

I would be open to that as well. It would be nice to have a support group that's there from the beginning of the journey and all going through it at the same time.

Great Diane1! I can't wait to find out your date!

I was out for the rest of the day after mine.. I wasn't driving though..I was fine but I may not be the norm..

U know they only said that it would relax me but all I remember is them saying they are putting the med in the IV and them saying ok we're done. It felt like I just blinked and it was over. I wasn't even groggy after.

Welcome April sleevers. I had my GSD yesterday. I believe GSD is the stomach scope. Wasn't bad just made my throat a lil sore after. But it went very quick.

I live on the outskirts of Hammond, IN. When will the doctor let u know your date?

Mamaof5heathens-what part of IN?

I'm having mine at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Pk., IL. What about u?

My date is 4/21! I'm excited and nervous!

Change of plans. My surgery was moved back to 4/21.

Hey everyone! My surgery date is 4/7! I'm very excited and nervous!

I was also reading here that there is a site that assist with getting premiere paid for by your insurance. Google insure nutrition.

Also Syntrax Matrix 2.0 has samples. I can't think of the site. I think it's bariatric pantry. I will get it when I go to work.

Same here. Mine is 7 day. I've been checking on this forum looking at different protein drinks. My girlfriend got muscle milk from Walmart. Premier I on hear was good also Syntax Nectar which I ordered a sample pack to try. It had 15 different options in the sample. I hope to find one that I can tolerate for a long period of time.

JessLS99 - My date is 4/07! Cool to have someone to take this step around the same time as me. I put my FMLA in yesterday!

Hey. Mine is approved with BCBS. I'm scheduled for 4/7

Congrats! Mine is April 7th!!

Congrats! So glad u r doing well. I've heard of people goin back to work right after surgery. I guess it just depends on your pain tolerance.

How has hunger been for you? What protein drinks did you like? Are you exercising?

Is it just me - that's awesome! No pain after and down 60lbs! U ROCK!!! I hope mine is smooth sailing also.

Diane1-I feel the same way. I know people that's had it done but it will be nice to have someone going thru this at the same time.
