Thank you for the encouragement. My headache went away, after about 9 Tylenol and 1 Advil (ama). I'm feeling better, and I'm not hungry. Day 2 is almost done. Whew!! HW 241 SW 238 GW 130 Getting sleeved 3/1

Today is day one of my two week liquid diet, and I have to say, it's gonna be a long two weeks. My head is pounding (waiting for my daughter to get home with my Tylenol), I'm exhausted and I'm cranky. I want food!!! I wish it were possible to just sleep through the next two weeks. It gets easier, right?? HW 241 SW 238 GW 130 Getting sleeved 3/1

I'm having WLS in an effort to avoid a knee replacement. I had a partial at 37 in my left knee, and I'm in need of a total in my right knee (I'm 41). If you've ever used an anti-gravity treadmill, you can really feel the difference the weight makes. I'm being sleeved on the 1st and my hopes are high. HW 241 SW 238 GW 130 Getting sleeved 3/1

I've been very open about my surgery. However, I did consider taking annual leave instead of sick leave so that I didn't have to provide any additional information. But, chose to just be open about it. I've asked for three weeks off, but I anticipate going back after two weeks. I just wanted to be on the safe side and err on the side of caution.

I start my two week liquid diet on Thursday.

I'm March 1st. I've given up coffee, and soda for the most part. The coffee was so hard cuz I sure do love it. But that's pretty much all I've changed. I know I've gained a couple pounds since my last appointment cuz I'm really trying to enjoy my last days of freedom.

Memorial Hospital in Tampa.

Anyone scheduled for March 1st??

Got my surgery date-March 1st!!

Congratulations ladies! I'm so excited for you all!

Congratulations!!

Star, i know the feeling. Truly.

So my husband has been approved too, but his authorization letter hasn't been processed yet. So I have to wait for that to schedule mine, since we're having it done together. I'm so excited for all of us!!

So I had some mail at the house run my insurance company that I didn't even think to open. Turns out it's my approval, which was mailed out a week so. So, yeah, I was approved in one week and didn't even know it. But how odd that my doctor's office hasn't received it yet? So I sent them a copy. Hopefully they'll be able to get me scheduled today.

Whoot whoot!!

I was approved!! The doctor's office hasn't received the authorization yet, and my doctor only schedules on Thursday or Friday so I won't get scheduled until late next week.

Congratulations!!!!!

My package was submitted two weeks ago. I really thought I'd have an answer either way by now.

Fingers crossed. Every day I wake up hopeful and excited that today is the day!!

That's awesome news! Congrats!!!

I emailed my doctor's office this morning to get a status update. No word yet.

This is fantastic information. Thank you for taking the time to share!
