I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved, any other March Sleevers in the building?

BigDaddy, thanks for the list. I am hoping I can hook up with the other 7th sleevers. Thanks for your hard work on that list.

It's been 5 days since I sent paperwork to insurance for approval. I'm soooo nervous I won't be approved. I'm hoping to be a march sleever :/

I was given such great advice and I would like to share it with you. Call the insurance. My husband and I called and they were the one to tell us that they approved it. Good luck I hope you are approved.

Im scheduled for march 14th. Im wicked excited but nervous at the same time. Im 5'0 and starting weight was 254 and now im down to 240. I started my pre op diet five weeks ago and have been doing great. Just trying to stay on track up until surgery. Im on the medifast lean and green diet and it seems to be working great. Just wondering if anyone else is feeling nervous about the surgery?

Yes I am. My doctor told me that I'm down 3 pints of blood and I need to double up on my iron pills. I'm so nervous that I've already told my sister's what to do if I should lose more blood.

Paleal...just make sure u take ur iron. When I had my blood draw I was told I was vitamin d and c deficiant and iron deficiant. I also know when surgery is completed its only going to get worse so ive been making sure to drink my protein shakes with lots of vitamins as pills make me sick to my stomach.

March 4th and totally excited! I start my pre-op diet next week...really funny how each provider does something different with each patient and all the different requirements! This time will be go faster then I know it and for everyone else. I hope everyone the best...gotta find me a new workout partner, I am ready for the new journey!

Thanks for the advice. Yes I've been doubling up in my iron pills. Also considered taking liquid iron but I want to do research on that first.
