any march 25th sleevers

[momof5cantwait 26]

Just got my date today. march 27th. I was going to do the bypass and te surgeon recommended the sleeve. I am worried I won't lose enough weight with the sleeve. Advice?

[samantha(: 1]

I am worried about the same thing!

Hang in there girl everything gonna be alright you can do anything you put your mind to, at least the waiting for approval part is over for you... That's where I'm at submitted to ins yesterday, but surgery scheduler has me penciled in for my surgery to be March 25 w/ me starting liquid diet on the 18th & 21st pre op appt.. This waiting game is messing wit me lol..

Thanks so much. Yeah waiting is the hardest but the feeling you get when you find out you're approved is like no other.

I'm a 25er too! Pre op is Monday, and I'm doing 1 meal per day of lean and green and then 2 or 3 Protein Shakes. I don't have a liquid requirement pre-op, but I do have a weight loss requirement. The family members I've told (immediate, mostly) are very supportive and curious. I only told coworkers/supervisor I was having surgery, and when the nosey one asked what kind, I just waved to my arm from my chin to my hip and said "abdominal". I think that was close enough to "crotch" to keep her from asking any further questions lol. Very nervous, but also very hopeful because I'm tired of feeling like crap on a cracker with this fat suit on.

Diva I bet they feel pretty good about your insurance approving you if they already penciled you in. Hopefully you'll get a fast approval!!

I, too, am on the 25th. Had my psych appointment yesterday and my pre-op blood work, upper GI (ew, Barium swallow!), and nutrition appointments today. I have a binder with specific instructions to follow and am feeling completely ready. I also ordered clear liquid Protein and Vitamins today.

I don't have to lose weight or do a liquid diet until the day before, which is just fine with me, because I'm having "Farewell to food Festival" this week. Lol. I'm still making better choices than I was, and am completely ready for this!

Good luck everyone!

_{march 25th 5 days are you guys ready}

[rdt210 82]

I'm ready, but came down with a nasty head cold over the weekend and am nervous about getting postponed. I have my pre-op appt tomorrow, so I guess I'll know for sure then. Fingers crossed!

[Marbear 41]

Good luck with that head cold. i'm so stressed about getting everything taken care of at work that i havent been too worried about surgery yet. I finished pre op Monday, and they put a hospital band on me & said to leave it on until surgery. I explained i work this week, and dont want to field questions from clients/coworkers about why im wearing a hospital wrist band, etc. They said it was policy so 'we know you are who you say you are when you arrive for surgery' I nearly came unglued...multiple pic ID's dont work? The entire set of labs they re-did Mon because i was 4 days out of the window for preop bloodwork don't work? The fact that i spent nearly all of February in that hospital for classes and tests and evals should have been sufficient. And if someone is desperate enough to pretend to be me that day, then maybe they ought to have their stomach sucked out their bellybutton. Hmm, maybe some misdirected nervousness...

[rdt210 82]

Thank you! I've never heard of getting a wrist band a week ahead of time. That's crazy, and I would be pissed too, especially since I'm not telling anyone about my surgery. I would think it would get wrecked after a week of showering and hand washing. Very strange.

My band is given to me when they cross match my blood this Saturday. I have been warned to not forget it so I guess I don't have to wear it. For me, the headache is trying to make certain all aspects of my job are covered for two weeks. Too busy to worry about the surgery. March 25 is coming fast.

[Marbear 41]

Are you planning to take the full 2 weeks off? I have planned on a week off, and cleared 2nd week of all appointments so I can play it by ear. Couldn't really do much more than that, though. It's good to be busy at work, nice distraction! and it makes much more sense to me to give you the band and tell you to keep up with it, rather than put it on you to wear until surgery.

[mzkd2011 22]

my Dr. Gave me 4 weeks off and said NO WORK FUNCTIONS AT ALL

OMG Monday is almost here
