July 2013 sleevers

[gia24 85]

I just contacted my patient advocate and she was missing my cardiac clearance, so she didn't submit my paperwork like she should have a few weeks ago, I was able to scan and email it to her and she just submitted it today, so now it's the waiting game, she says typically it takes 2 weeks to get approval, and now they are scheduling surgeries for August, so looks like I won't be a July Sleever, but I am just glad I have had my documents submitted and hopefully I will get my approval in 2 weeks, so I can get sleeved in August!! Wish me luck!!

Good luck! Call & make sure insurance received it just incase. I followed up with everyone. Patience is not my strongest quality lol!

I plan on it, I figure I will call them tomorrow and make sure they received everything. It has been a long process and I have been back and forth, but the thought of dying and leaving my children and husband is too much for me not to finally get myself healthy and make sure I am around for my familia for a long time! Thank you for the kind words I am so excited!!

I started my liquid diet today. First day almost done and I did not tell anyone off. Woo-hoo!

I started my two week pre-op today. Not liquids, high Protein, no carbs. Three high protein meals and three clear liquid Protein Drinks a day. Yes, I know how lucky I am. I know I can do this!!!

Had an appointment with the physical therapist and she said she's never had a patient my age in such good shape. Woohoo! I just turned 68!

I agree, the easiest is the protein/low carb diet. I was really impressed that I was really never hungry with exception to truly missing my diet cokes, carbs and wine! But it was all worth it when the surgeon said I did a great job at shrinking my liver.

Why is it that some doctors prescribe a liquid diet my doctor here in Dubai just advised on a no fat diet ... Does anyone know why the difference?
