November Sleevesters?



Recommended Posts

Surgery scheduled tomorrow at 7 am. I've been fine until now. As I sit I'm the airport I feel tears welling up...I'm a bit overwhelmed with emotion. I'm extremely proud and happy for taking this step yet nervous as hell abt surgery its self. This is a big deal...my life is getting ready to change for the better. Virtual hand hold hugs and prayers are needed :)

Hugs and prayers for you!

I was sleeved on Wednesday:) My swallow study showed things weren't moving through my sleeve as fast as they should be so I have not anything to eat or drink since Wednesday morning. My doc is talking about worse case scenario being re-operation with conversion to bypass if things don't start working soon.. Turns out my stomach and now my sleeve is shaped like a letter J and the contrast is slowed by the loop at the bottom of my sleeve I have had no nausea or vomiting so my Doc is going to let me try some liquid to see how it goes... Pray for me that everything passes through well and I don't need re-operation...

Approved! Aetna approved on first time, 3 weeks turn-around. I have BMI = 39 + 2 comorbidities. Official surgery date set for Nov 20th! Getting a little nervous...I've had months to think this through, just hope it's the right thing for me.

Hi sleeve sister so is mine! I'm very nervous and I'm sure will be very emotional as time nears! But I do echo your excitement! Prayers coming your way!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
