My date is 6-29-13!! Looking forward to cheering/supporting/ranting/etc...with all of you June sleevers! It just helps to talk things out with a group of people going thru the same thing and know your not being judged. My goal is to know more about VSG than my doctor lol...OCD kicking in ;)

I had appointment 5 of 6 today. My last appointment is May 13th. The only thing missing (that I know of) is the letter of medical necessity from my primary care doctor. He is working on it. I am planning to have everything ready so the paperwork can be submitted on the 13th or 14th. I spoke with a nurse at Meritain, my insurance company, and she stated that once all the paperwork is received, they should have an answer in 2 days. I'm cautiously optimistic. I do know that my surgeon is scheduling about a month out. That would put me around June 18th, I'm hoping. I have this all worked out. Now if everyone will just do everything on my time frame, it will be perfect:) Keep your fingers crossed. I'm praying. My gallbladder has started acting up and I just need it to hang in there until surgery. I do NOT want 2 surgeries when I can get both done at the same time.

Hi everyone!

Like Diva1, I'm also a teacher so I'm waiting until June. That will make this a year long journey!!! I started the process with one group last June, then decided to switch surgeons. Then I decided to wait until the end of the school year!! While I know that was the right decision, sometimes I feel like it's never going to happen.

I've done all the pre-op testing so I just have to wait another two weeks then the nurse coordinator said they'll start the process with insurance. I am aiming for June 26.

I see my surgeon on May 13th and will get my date then. The coordinator said he usually schedules for 4-6 weeks out so I'm a June sleever too! This process has been 15 months in the making with two insurance denials. I'm ready to start my new life!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
