    The results are in..

    I also found out I have sleep apnea during this process. I just got my cpap 8 days ago. it took me a while to get into the pulmonologist so that was the only delay..and that I have to wear it for 7 to 10 days so they can read the chip inside. other than that..no delays. I have to wear it at least 4 hours during the night..I've been getting 6 to 8 hours with it.

    Channel that energy somewhere!

    I watch a lot of youtube videos of fellow sleevers to keep me inspired. even though I want this so bad and won't jeopardize it for anything it's nice to see and hear other people going through it and to see where they have came from to keep you inspired..same as with this forum.

    I got my surgery date!

    my process has gone fairly quickly. I had a bmi of over 50 so my insurance doesn't require a supervised weight-loss regimen. I just had to do a pre op and post op class..psych eval, chest xray and labs. meet with a dietician twice..in the process I also had a sleep study and found out I have sleep apnea. I just got my cpap on Friday. I also had to lose 10lbs before I met with the surgeon as of today I've lost 26.5good luck!!

    Michigan sleevers

    Hey everybody I just had my first appt yesterday. starting weight will be 298.9 I am 5'2. I'm going through sparrow weight management out of lansing. I found out that I do have moderate sleep apnea so will have to be fitted for a cpap. my insurance doesn't require any supervised weight-loss..but sparrow does require from start to finish to lose 20 lbs. my preop diet I have to lose 10 of those lbs. once I get my classes all done and the testing they said I should be able to have my surgery in 2 months. I went for labs and chest xray and Monday is when I start with my appt. super excited to get this rolling.
  14. I've had labs, urine test (they are checking for nicotine) a chest xray, sleep study (I found out I do have moderate sleep apnea so I will be fitted for my cpap soon) pshyc eval is coming up next month and an endoscopy just not sure when yet. I believe that's all I have to do.
