Got the date!



Recommended Posts

So I have the date for my surgery!! I have to do the liquid diet first for two weeks, which starts on the ninth of this month! Surgery is scheduled for the 27th at 11:30. I am so so excited, but also very nervous! I've waited for more than 6 months for this to happen! (I had to do a 6 month supervised diet for the insurance company, it was a pain, but they are paining for 80% of it, and that's a pretty good chunk) Well I hope to talk to some of you soon, I'm new to this site, so if anyone wants to talk or whatever, I'm here! biggrin.gif

Hello Kelsey and welcome to LBT. I'm pretty new too but I am also scheduled (tentatively) for the 27th. I'm still waiting on approval but my surgery center says I should be approved in plenty of time. I'm nervous and excited as well. It's a big step :rolleyes:

Kelsey I just got my date today and it is the 28th!! I am just like you! Excited and a little nervous. I also just completed 6 months of Dr. supervised diet and therapist for my ins. company. They are paying 100% so as you say, it is worth it! I am hoping to learn a lot on this site. A friend who just had the band a few weeks ago told me this was a great site.

Good luck to you. We should monitor each others progress. biggrin.gif

Thank you for all the positivity and support! biggrin.gif

And to Crossroads, I agree we should monitor each others progress and help each other since we are right there on the same boat!!

I too had to do the psyc evaluation, it didn't take as long as I thought it would though, which was good.

Hi, Kelsey! It looks like you and I will have the same surgery date.- the 27th. My insurance just approved me yesterday, so I am still pretty over-the-moon happy. I'm sure I'll get nervous/scared like most people, but it hasn't hit me yet. I tried to get banded 2 years ago but was denied by Tricare (not enough comorbid conditions). It was a big letdown, and reattempting it this time was difficult- I didn't want to get my hopes up. Anyway, all is well. Only 18 days until our new journey!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
