Thank you, Sara! Girl, get everything in I am loving my sleeve but it is frustrating now getting full so fast. But its honestly not bad and totally worth it. Keep us posted. I hope you hear something soon! I know what it is like to be in limbo. Good luck!

Sarasleeves you also keep us posted.
I am feeling really good. I am down 16 lbs. I cheated and am eating purees and some soft foods. I have felt great though.

No, he didn't say anything about it. I sure felt guilty though. I definitely didn't coffee at all either.

I had mine yesterday with Dr. Long. He is super nice. They told me I would go home the same day, but I ended up being kept all night because of trouble with pain management. I was released this morning.

October 8th!!
That's my big day!

You may be better off to go the hiatal hernia route.

Still no date! ???? I didn't have high expectations. I keep watching airline tickets increase in price and I am starting to panic. But I am blessed to have this opportunity at a discounted cost so I am gonna try and be patient.

Have you guys heard anything yet? Silvia called me today to let me know I am cleared. She said Lisa will call tomorrow. I am excited. She was real sweet.

Well that's awesome. Not to burst your bubble Silvia told me the same a week and a half ago! Lol I called today so hopefully she returns my call soon! Maybe we will be having surgery about the same time!

I see you are traveling for surgery at Nicholson and am hoping to as well. I was told I'd have to go (fly in)for an initial consult, go home and get testing done then go back a second time for surgery. Is that how it worked for you?
I was hoping I could do a phone or Skype consult then my pcp could just send all my charts and results of any tests needed so I didn't have to make 2 trips.

On their Out of Town Patient site it lists the hotels close to each surgical center. It doesn't mention any discounts though.

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa!

Nicholson is performing my sleeve in the morning! Having the hiatal hernia repair as well. Everything has been very smooth.

I only told a few ppl..1 of them was my hubs and 2 bff's. I am 13 months out and my immediate family still don't know and when anyone asks me a "lost weight" question or health related I smile and say "My health is not up for conversation"..I smile and change the subject. there is other things to talk about then my body. some of my family is obsessed with numbers and looks and I stop it before it gets started. It already is a emotional and mental transition I wasn't about to have to deal with the lack of educated comments of others..I hate that you have to hear this...hang in there xx

Haha MeMe8264. I am traveling from Ohio. I freaked about the diet too. I think it will be easy for us once we have a diet and light at the end of the tunnel.

You are absolutely right MeMe8264. I know I can get impatient and I am sure they deal with a lot of people daily. I think they are all a little over worked. But I also feel that if you can't deal properly with people, you probably shouldn't be in a position of working with people.
On another note, I cannot wait to replace my closet. I have actually already started stocking up on some stuff. Is that weird? I don't know if I have anything in particular I want to be able to wear. All of the skinny girl stuff will be nice. Lol

Can ya'll share your stories with this office? I am traveling from Ohio doing the hiatal hernia route. Can anyone shed light on this? Please?

The it's cheaper with in network insurance.

Keep us posted. I would like to know when the schedule everything.

I was just curious. I am an out of town patient with the Nicholson clinic and I am waiting on a surgery date. I am just trying to get an idea of how far out they are booking. I am planning on taking just a week off work. I think everything will work out for you. Good luck! Keep me posted.
