I'm too excited the new me begins on May 6th!!!!!! I can't believe this is actually going to happen. Yay!

I understand completely...I had surgery atv730a and they released me from the hospital at 130p....it hurts me to take a deep breath feels like I was hit in the ribs....but my main issue is getting in the fluids....

You need the deep breaths to help prevent possibility of pneumonia.

I've done all the per-op necessities,I'm just waiting on my insurance company ,how long did it take for your insurance company to approve and contact your Dr.? It has been since April 18th that my Dr. Submitted the paperwork to my insurance .I would really like to have a early June surgery . I'm getting a little anxious I guess.

My authorization took 3 weeks which is extremely rare, most often it is a month or more. Hope your's is fast too

Wow Marcy you and I get sleeved the same day! We're sleeve sisters lol... when did you start your Pre approval process?

Hello may sleevers! I am done. I was out it for a couple if days but now I am back and doing well. Woke up from surgery in a lot of pain but once they gave me meds I felt better. Gas has been unbearable but it get easier when you walk. Not eating much but I am not Hungary. Just trying to force my Water down and Protein shakes!!!! Doing better than yesterday. How is everyone e else?

I'm doing well... Two days after surgery....gas bubbles can be a pain...liquids go down and bubbles coming up at the same time sucks...glad to hear your doing well

May 7th. Did my bowel cleaning laxative today. I vow to never take that stuff again, lol..

May 20th' date=' 15 days to go, seems like a long time. They have me on what they consider the fast track, 2 1/2 weeks of pre op education. Hoping I can lose the required 15 pounds by the 19th doing the shakes?
