  1. I just got my approval and I'm having surgery on the 18th as well. This is my second attempt. My first surgery was cancelled the day before because of insurance issues. I'm excited that it's going to happen this time.
  2. Congrats to those that were sleeved. I'm in a better frame of mind today. I cried for the first day because I was so frustrated with the incompetency of my insurance company and doctor's office. I will plug along and will do what I need to do when we get our new insurance.
  3. My surgery was cancelled due to a mistake on the insurance companies part and my doctors' office. Devastated right now! Our insurance is switching soon so I won't be able to have surgery until 2015. I had finished the whole pre op diet and find this out 20 hours before I was scheduled.
  4. I'm also on the 28th. Nerves were awful last week but I'm more and more at peace with my decision every day. Just ready to get on with it.
  5. I'm on day 7 of my preop diet, surgery in 3 days. I had headaches and felt very weak for 4 days. The last few days I have felt amazing. I can't wait to feel better and better!
  6. I'm on day 4 of the pre operating diet and I feel like I turned a corner today. Definitely better than the first few days. You got this!
  7. Thanks for sharing. I'm having surgery next week and I'm getting more and more anxious. Good to know that others feel the same way.
  8. I'm 8 days away from surgery. Today I made the most satisfying meal yet. I cooked some cubed chicken and added it to a broth with a ton of vegetables, spinach, mushrooms, carrots, onions, greens beans, celeryl, and red peppers.
  9. So exciting! Good luck.
  10. My surgery is the same day. I am also fast tracking because my husband is switching jobs and our current insurance pays for almost all of the cost.
  11. If you are going to use it daily and have the $$$, I love the Blendtec. I bought mine from Sams club when they had a sale. It is easier to clean but it is seriously loud. If you will wake anyone up in the morning I wouldn't suggest it.
  12. I'm being sleeved on the 28th. Pre-open diet started today.
  13. I will be sleeved on October 28th. I started my pre surgery diet today. I need to eat 4 oz of meat, salad veggies, sugar free, caffeine free, and carbonation free, a few protein shakes per day. I'm also allowed low fat dressing, low fat cheese, and eggs.
