January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My target is January. The girl who runs things for my doctor told me that once I get all my pre-op checks done (EGD, NUT, etc.), that's when they submit. She said insurance has up to 45 days to respond, but usually do so within 7-10. I think I'll have everything taken care of by mid-December, so January is doable.

I have no date yet, and haven't been approved either. I hope they do. I want this life change so badly.

Just scheduled my surgery for January 14, 2013...I was planning on before the end of the year, but it didn't work out that way. I know January is just right around the corner...but it feels so far away!!

So glad someone started a January thread!! Makes me feel like it's getting closer and closer! :) My surgery is scheduled for January 22nd and I'm counting down the days to the start of my pre-op diet on January 8th. I love the holidays but I'm finding myself wishing they would all just be over so I can get my sleeve and start my new life! So excited! Hope the next couple months go by fast, fun, and easy for all my fellow January sleevers!!

January is a good time. Bring in the new year and be able to keep that resolutuion. All the holiday eating is done and you will neet out of pocket all in Jan meaning insurance should pay 100 percent of all medical for the remainder of the year for all the follow ups. Lots of upside to Jan. :)

Hi! I'm Marquel. Live in Santa Barbara CA. I'm getting sleeved 1/24/13 in TJ by Dr Rodriguez. It's pretty much all I can think about!

We've had to move my date twice and I think we have it right this time. Scheduled now for January at Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas.

I will be finishing my 3 month pre-op program at the beginning of December. So I should be sleeved sometime in January as long as my insurance approves :rolleyes: I was looking for a Jan 2013 forum, but it's not out there yet. We need one!

I'm in the St. Louis area and Dr. Richardson from the New Start program will be doing my surgery. I can't wait!!! :D

First Post here. Went for first visit to the doctor and have started the process. Have psycological visit tomorrow. Hope to have all done and insurance approval for surgery first of January. Been in this body for 56 years and look for new lease on life so I can live long enough to see my daughter married and hopefully my grandkids born and married.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
