Recommended Posts

Hey November sleevers! I have my pre up appointment on Tuesday the 6th and am suppose to had surgery the 14th! We didn't submit to insurance yet- we're doing it when I go on the 6th. I'm so nervous that 1 week won't be enough time for them to approve, but they were optimistic it would be. Let's see, please keep your fingers crossed for me, I'm so scared they won't approve. Ahh I just want want to able to finally focus on pre surgery nerves instead of 'will I be able to have surgery or not?' nerves.

To all my November sleevers...November is here!!! Finally we made it! I just wanted to wish everyone here a safe and speedy recovery and I pray that all doubt fear and anxiety are replaced with excitement, confidence and pure joy for this your new journey. This is a big deal and I'm excited for all of us who decided to take this step to being a healthier you. I'm 1 week from getting my sleeve...yes I'm nervous, but I'm ready :) You all have been an incredible support group for me in more ways that I can type (lol). I hope that we can continue to support each other through this journey. For those of you on Youtube, I have created a channel to capture my wls journey. You can find me at ChallengeMeVerticaly. I'm still a newbie to youtube so bare with me.

Now lets get ready to rock these sleeves out!!!!

Omg! I didn't think November would ever get here but now with just two weeks to go I think I'm getting scared! : /

Someone on this site quoted Bill Cosby..."you have to decide you want it more than you are afraid of it.". That has become my mantra about everything...my career change, my moving and my choice to become a healthier me. I want those things more than I'm afraid of the change. Let's go November Sleevers. We're up!

I'm sure it will all work out. They know what they are doing and how to get you approved. Do you have to do a pre-op diet since you may not know very far in advanced?

November 7 here. I keep switching between panic and excitement. My Doc doesn't require pre op diet, just Clear Liquids the day before. I wonder why the difference between surgeons.

I can really identify with that feeling. I'm being sleeved on the 8th. I've been ridiculously excited but now the nerves are starting to set in. There's no doubt this is the right thing for me, I'm just getting jittery. just think this time next week we'll be all done ..back time and sipping our liquids. :-)

Oops meant back home. Some surgeons believe the pre op diet makes a difference and some don't. All down to their preference.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
