I got the approval today, just in time for my surgery Monday!

I have fibro and hashimotos. I am really hoping that I will feel better after I start losing weight.

I hear you about the chairs. The chair at the lab where I go for blood work is shaped in such a fashion that my butt gets suctioned into it. I have to break the seal, like I am opening a vacuum packed ass to get out. It is really embarrassing, and painful!

TerryS93 I am glad to hear that you are OK.

I am excited and nervous too!

How frustrating! Hang in there. Everyone has set backs. It is what you do next that counts.

I am getting sleeved on 7/14. It will be my 6th surgery in 5 years, and I can't sleep. It is natural to be nervous, but you will get through it. Try to plan fun activities or time with friends to keep busy.

My nutritionist said that it is fine to drink double milk instead of protein shakes. She said to make double milk by adding powdered milk to skim milk.

I am scheduled for 7/14 too. I am starting to get nervous. I am spending way too much time reading success stories.

I am getting sleeved next week. My pulmonologist thinks that I will be off the CPAP 6 months after surgery. I can't wait!

Are you drinking with your meals? My doctor says that when people are having trouble losing weight, they are usually drinking with their meals. My doc says that I need to eat food without a drink, and then wait at least 30 minutes after finishing my meal to drink. A 40 pound weight loss is Awesome! Don't give up!

Hi. I would like to join the July 2014 group. I am getting sleeved on 7/14.

My surgery date is 7/14 too, and I have Cigna. I am still waiting for my approval, but my doctor's office told me not to worry about it. They are confident that it will be approved. I will rest easier I when the approval comes through.

I have had 4 laparoscopic surgeries plus two C-sections, and I am getting sleeved laparoscopically on 7/14. There is no limit.
