October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

I need some help to keep my head in the game. Long story, but I had an insurance approval on record, switched surgeons and they had to resubmit. They submitted the original informatio PLUS additional information, and I was DENIED today. My date is October 9. I have time off work scheduled, my mom booked her flight to come help me post op, and everything is ready to go. I have been on the pre-op diet since Sunday. I am READY to go, but for this. I emailed the insurance coordinator as soon as I found out this afternoon, but it was after her working hours. I have to get through the weekend and a wedding before I find out what is going on. I know Cigna is difficult, but this is ridiculous!!

Hello October sleevers. :)

Im Christina. 35, Mother of a 16 yr old son. I live in Sacramento, Ca and am scheduled for surgery October 10th by Dr. Richard Nyugen in San Jose, Ca. Am i scared? HELL YES!!!! Hoping this site will encourage and motivate me as much as possible. I am 250 pounds and my health is not what it was, so my dr recommended this surgery. I wanted the lap band at first but he promised me that there were less complications with gastic sleeve. I read some of the posts on here of some complications amd now im more scared then before. I was unaware of such issues. I felt so bad for them. Praying that it doesnt happen to me. So im on here looking for support. =)

Mslnzee. Thats how i feel. I am on my liquid diet now and my bf and son are eating dinner and im like omg. I want what they are having! But then i stop myself and make my Protein Shake. Disipline is going to be the greatest hurdle but it must be done for a successful outcome. I say this yet i am daydreaming of spaghetti. LOL. Just stay focused.

That happen to me. My dr office told me they had a cancellation and i was to have surgery on sept the 26th but then called back a day later saying that it was too soon and that i had to be on the liquid diet for 2 weeks. The 26th would have only been one week. I wished that they wouldve just gave me the cancelled date. It would have been over by now. Uggghhh. But Oct 10 will be here before i know it. Good luck to you.....

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
