In an hour I'll be heading to Houston for my gastric sleeve! If you can spare a prayer it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks everyone! I am now a week post op, things have been going great! Thanks for the support

Dr scarborough, how have you been feeling?!?

Yes I can't wait!! Counting down to dec 21. Glad you're ahead of me so I can see how things go for you

I am on day 3 pre op diet! I feel your pain. I have been alternating between water hot tea and flavored water in between protein drinks. I will have my first temptation on Friday when I'm meeting a friend for lunch.. But I told her I'm on a liquid diet already I'm hoping that helps. @amywolfe goodluck on Monday! Will be thinking of you

I'm getting sleeved the 21st in Houston as well!

Thanks so much for the recipes! I have my surgery dec 21st so I'll be keeping these in mind for post op

Can't wait to begin my journey!!

Yes I do@@Amy Wolfe! It will be awful but totally worth it for the big picture!!!

Excellent news lana32!

Just heard from the office that I've been approved so now I just have to do the EGD and then the liquid diet and I'm set!! Can't wait!! I am anxiously awaiting the date!

Remember that no one cares more about it than you... Call and check in them for progress.

Cross your fingers for luck for me... Dr office called tonight saying they were having trouble scheduling the egd... Which delays my surgery. Ugh!

Yay! Best wishes for a successful outcome!

Excellent! Sounds like things are going well for you!

Congrats to you Amy Wolfe! Keep me posted on your date and maybe we can encourage each other along the way

Congrats! I just found out today I was approved too!

I feel your pain ! The same thing happened to me.... I was done with all my requirements in oct 17 and today , after I bugged the dr office about 10 times it was finally submitted. Insurance had sent a request for more info on oct 28th and today they sent it in. Took so long I consider switching dr offices. But I heard back already insurance has approved so I'm happy! Now to get the Egd and surgery scheduled!!

I'm working with Dr scarborough as well and have positive experiences. Until the hurry up and. Wait stage. I have a question for the precert coordinator and she won't call me back!!! My insurance tells me they have sent two letters to the office asking for more info but haven't received a response yet and it's been two weeks since they started the request! It's quite frustrating to me because I did everything I had to do and was expecting that this part would go smoothly because the office does this for a living but I've been disappointed in this part! I'm really hoping that the update from the insurance was incorrect and they had it wrong!! Sitting here very frustrated!

Has anyone tried these? Pro/cons?

Congrats and best of luck to you!! I'm still waiting for my approval, then I'll join the rest of the sleeves out there!! Best of luck to you

They submitted my pre cert today so fingers crossed!

It's weird but I love isopure wartermelon and the blue raspberry they have a bit is sour punch to them so they are more palatable for me than the other drinks! Drink them with ice!
