Your surgeon's office can tell you more. Ask questions and take notes!

I started in February. It has taken 6 months to meet all the requirements of my insurance. Should be sleeved late June or early July. I was very disappointed having to wait so long, however the journey with all the appointments have taught me a lot. It has also taught me patience and to get my brain properly prepared. It goes by pretty fast. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

Sleeve it to Beaver got a reaction from Caribear in Just started this process
You won't think so now but it will fly by. I was in the same spot for 6 months and I am having surgery tomorrow!
You'll learn some great stuff about the sleeve and yourself in these 9 months. And just think how much healthier you'll be for surgery.
Good luck. You can do it!

Hi Heather!
Good luck with the pre-op. Don't over think it and don't worry about what you aren't having. Just think how much more the scale will drop when you weigh in for surgery.
How exciting!!!!!
I am scheduled for tomorrow. We got this!!!

Tomorrow is the day! Super pumped and no nerves yet.
I started my process on 10/22/15 by attending and informational session. Almost didn't continue with the process because my BMI is on the 40 border and thought I'd be "punished" for losing weight prior to surgery and would no longer qualify. Lesson learned; always ask questions!!!
I started on a 1,600 calories a day diet for the next six months per my insurance requirements. I have lost 27 lbs. so far! I am hoping to be down to 250 for surgery.
I have been on a mostly liquid diet this past week. My doctor said because I've lost more than double the ask that my daily pre-op diet could include two Protein Shakes and a Lean Cuisine or similar meal.
Last night was a shot of MoM - gross! Today it's all liquid. SF Jello and Water for Breakfast. Lol. Will have Bone Broth for lunch and dinner. Water, water, water!
That's all for now. Just signed up today. Looking forward to learning a lot here and about the new me!
