Waiting4Sleeve

I am looking for a 10.13.14 surgery buddy. I am having my surgery at KC Bariatric Center in Lenexa KS. Anyone having their surgery same day?? Doesn't have to be same place although that would be cool too

All paper work has been submitted to ins for approval. I am waiting on call from doc with surgery date. I am getting things ready!!! My question is for everyone about what vitamins have you bought to use after surgery. There are some pretty expensive ones out there. What are you using and where did you get them??

Add me too!

Woohoo I am on the 13th as well! I am ending my day 3 of the full liquid protein diet. Yesterday was tough. Today I was hungry but not moody and weak. So much better!!

My surgery is the 13th. Finishing day 3 of my liquid protein diet. Today was better than the last two. I am so excited!! Can't wait!

I know what you mean. Since I do not have 100+ lbs to lose people act like I am being lazy in having surgery. They don't live with the struggles I have trying to lose to only gain it back and more.... they don't live with the aches and pains and doubling my blood pressure meds and on and on I could go. Just because I do not complain all the time of my weight doesn't mean I am not suffering from the effects of it. Trust me, I would much rather go on a diet and lose the weight and live happily ever after. But I can't do it without this help. I too was not going to tell anyone till afterwards, but when you work in an office with people and are with them more than your family, they just find out. Most have been very supportive. I have made it clear when talking about it that I don't really care if others are against me having it done. They don't have to live with the decision I am making.... I do! I say it nicely... but matter of fact. My hubby, parents, and grown kids are VERY supportive of me... that's all that matters to me. My hubby is doing the liquid diet with me starting Monday even. He wants to drop a few pounds and show his support of me and what I am doing. We cleaned out all the food of the house today since we start Monday. I feel so sorry for those on here who's spouses are not supportive at all.

I am so excited. Just had my pre-op appt today. All is done with appointments and tests. Now it is the liquid diet starting Monday and then my sleeve on the 13th. I am so excited!! I attended my first support group meeting this afternoon as well. I will be having my surgery at the KC Bariatric Center in Lenexa KS with Dr Hamilton.

My surgery was scheduled for about 4.5 weeks after the approval was rec'd

I am having my surgery with Dr Hamilton on the 13th of October. I am at my max out of pocket too so I am sorry I can't help you out either with your insurance questions. I suggest calling your ins co and ask them to explain it to you. Good luck!!

Me too. I am more nervous about the liquid diet than the surgery!!

That's my date for surgery too! I am so excited!!!

I saw it at Hy-Vee yesterday.

I know what you mean!! Ready for the new me to take form and get my health back!

I just got my surgery date today! I will be having my gastric sleeve surgery done at KC Bariatric Center in Lenexa KS by Dr Hamilton. I would love to have a surgery buddy to share my daily joys and struggles with along the journey. If you have surgery on that day too.... let me know! I have went thru so many different emotions the past few months. Now I am just stoked and ready to get this done! I can not wait!!

I will be having mine Oct 13 at KC Bariatric Center in Lenexa KS!! I just got my date today!!

Thanks so much. I wanted to get the bariatric advantage vitamins and calcium citrate. I didn't want to pay big shipping or up charges. I was thrilled to get them on amazon!

Thank you everyone!! I really appreciate the help!!

My question is for everyone about what vitamins have you bought to use after surgery. There are some pretty expensive ones out there. What are you using and where did you get them??

I would call... a squeaking wheel gets taken care of soon!! LOL! They can't do more than say, "we are still working on it"

Who cares what they think! You look great! Just ignore them and know you did the right thing. I can't wait to get mine done. I am being kind of selective in who I tell at this point because I don't want negative comments before I do the surgery. They can say what they want afterwards. I do not care

I have bought a bunch of different samples from different healthy stores to try. I have decided to take a sharpie and write YES or NO on them and keep the packages so I will know what ones to buy again and what ones NOT to buy again. Plus from what I am reading, your tastes sometimes change after surgery. So, I am trying to not buy too much before my surgery. I have heard people either love or hate the isopure in bottles. Someone suggested freezing it like slushies to drink it too. Good luck!

I am excited for you! I just did my last appointment at KC Bariactric yesterday. They are going to submit my stuff to UHC and as soon as they approve it I will get my three appointments too! I am so stinking excited I have a hard time going to sleep and a hard time concentrating at work during the day!! Who knows maybe we will be about the same time getting our surgeries.

I have been looking for it to buy in the bottles ready to drink. I don't want to buy a case and not like it. I want to try it but can't find it in any store yet.
