I am east of the Mississippi, in North Alabama.

My doctor has us purchase a kit for all items needed after surgery. One item is for gas.

My insurance actually requires seven consecutive monthly visits. My doctor required me to loose 10-12 pounds prior to surgery. This was in additional to his mandatory seminar and nutrition class. My tentative date is scheduled for April 15th, but the doctor gave me a specific diet to follow for at least two weeks prior to surgery. We were told flat out if the required weight loss didn't happen, there would be no surgery.

Congrats! I am new to this forum, but my tentative sleeve date is 04/15/2019. I am a little nervous, still working on the pre-op weight. I have eight more pounds to go.
