Can't believe that in about 3 weeks I can begin my weight loss journey as a "Sleeved" person! I have already lost 10 lbs so far. I can't believe how fast this process worked for me---started making all my pre-op appointments on Jan 18 and will be sleeved in March 21!!! I am so excited about this journey and these next 3 weeks cannot go by fast enough!!!

CONGRATS! These will probably be the longest 3 weeks for you. Your process with getting approved was very short and that makes it a lot easier. Can't wait to hear more about your journey!

Yes it was very short...didn't have to " physician shop" as I have contemplated surgery for years after I became a nurse on a bariatric unit. Was surprised at how fast insurance approval was--but then again I do have a BMI of 43.5 so I guess for them it was a win/win situation in the long run! Thanks for the support!!

CONGRATS!

Woo Hoo!!!! We'll keep a place warm for you on the losers bench!!!

Best of luck!

Congrats! I'm excited for you. I'm loving my sleeve. The process for me took about 8 months and that was just with appointments and getting approval, not with a pre-op diet (which I didn't do and wasn't asked to do). Each location is different. I am so glad I have been sleeved. It is not easy with the recoup, but for me so well worth it. I'm now 6 weeks post-op. The past 6 weeks have been challenging and life changing. Just follow all the instructions, know you will have pain (it is major surgery!), but also know that each day gets better and better.

Yeah!!!
