I love the response I am getting from everyone! So nice to not have to go through it alone! I am going to have my blood work done on Tuesday and should be receiving a call from the hospital to schedule my pre-op appointment!
What kind of shakes are yall doin??? My FAVE Protein shake mix falls within the guidelines of whats aloud and they r the Body By Vi shakes! They are SO good!!!! I think it will be easier knowing I already like the shakes and can drink them no problem =)

They approved me for 11k and the surgery is 12k (normally 15k but they r running a summer special) so we had to pay 1200 out of pocket -- not too terrible and my payments will be $262 a month

I cosigned with my mother since our credit is lack luster I didn't wanna take any chances. And its actually super simple you just go to their site and apply and within 5 mins they tell u how much credit u are approved for! I was shocked by how fast it was.

Yay!! That is very excited! I wasn't covered under insurance unfortunately which sucks but I did get approved for carecredit.com so I can make payments!

My pre-op starts the 22nd as well and it sounds similar! I can do a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and then like a weight watchers or lean cuisine meal for dinner!

I finally scheduled my date for the sleeve and am super excited but nervous all at the same time. My pre-op diet will start 2 weeks before and I am cutting pop completely the week before that to avoid the hassle and the headaches. Anybody out there interested in being a small support group for each other that all have surgery scheduled on or close to the 5th feel free to PM me!!!

I have found myself becoming more and more nervous as the dates becomes closer... I have an almost 2 year old son (2 in November) and he is over the 20 pound limit for lifting my Dr. has put in place for post surgery.... My husband is obviously 100% on board and will help as much as possible but there are times where I am home in the afternoon while he is still at work. Makes me worry that I might not be able to do things as simple as lifting him in and out of his carseat... I work full time so I am not going to be able to drop off and pick up from daycare without having to pick him up physically!?!?!
