Hi all!

I just found out yesterday that my insurance has approved my sleeve gastrectomy for this November 19. I wanted to share my excitement and readiness. I am a RN at the hospital that I will be having surgery at, which made this decision easier for me. I trust and respect my surgeon because I've worked with him countless times to take care of his post-op patients on my floor. We don't care for his immediate post-op bariatric patients on my floor, but ive cared for many of his other surgery cases. Its very comforting to know the hospital staff that will be taking care of me post-operatively. Basically, I CAN'T WAIT!! I wish everyone the best of luck

How exciting!! Congratulations!

Congratulations...!! I'm in Nursing also and I'm awaiting to hear from my insurance company. The best of luck to you.

Wishing you the best of luck! I'm getting sleeved on the 30th and am so excited! I know it's going to be a lot of work but I am so ready! Congrats!!

Doctor says 5 days prior but will likely start 1 week prior.

Lucky! I start mine on 11/6.

My doc only makes you do a liquid diet 24 hrs prior, then nothing after midnight the day of surgery.

I'm on the 19th too! So excited and ready to get this show on the road!

I start pre-op diet this Sunday, November 4th! 14 days of 6 optifast shakes per day. Then one day of clear liquids on November 18th before the big day!!!!! good luck to all
