Anyone out there new here and don't really get responses on my stuff! So just wondering if I'm doing something wrong gere

No I am new here too and it does take awhile to get noticed. I just keep harassing people!

Are you thinking about getting the sleeve or have you already scheduled your surgery?

I don't see you doing anything wrong - welcome!

You could update the information in your profile so we can get all up in your business get to know you better.

Yeah I think there are a number of things that have to do with it. Time of day, certain times of day may be busier and your stuff may move down faster and get missed. Repetition, a lot of questions we all have, have been asked before and sometimes people get tired of repeating (only what I have read) If you do have a question though, I do recommend using the search bar up above and searching for the main topic.... Instead of "Will I have bad reflux" just put "reflux" or "Does anyone have xxxx insurance" just put the insurance name etc... I have found a lot of information. I also recommend finding "friends" a support group that relates to you (I found a nursing support group, because I am a nursing student) I have found a few people who either I have enjoyed following their story, or they have similarities to me. I try to send a note every few weeks or so just to see how they are doing. Hang in there, this is a great group I really enjoy it and I have received a lot of information.

I'm new too. No date yet I am trying to get through 3 psy appts (I would pick the one super psy doc who's requirements way above the average!). and a nut appt before I get my final appt to schedule my surgery. Surgery for you is like next week! Exciting

[ambalam 54]

I see you! Lol! Congratulations on getting your approval and date!!

[cheeze82 59]

Thanks I'm so excited!! What does the Seurgoe

[cheeze82 59]

What does the surgeon do when you meet with them???

[ambalam 54]

Mine did my weight and went over goals. We discussed the surgery and what exactly it would entail, as well as what post surgery life would be like. I also did a preop consult with a group and went over drain care, pain management, food do's and donts, medication do's and donts. I asked a ton of questions!! I was given sample menus and a timeline of when I could begin introducing different stages of foods.

[cheeze82 59]

Thanks so much

[ambalam 54]

No problem!

[cheeze82 59]

How long after meeting with the surgeon did it Yale to get a date?

[ambalam 54]

I started meeting with the surgeon before I was approved. I had to complete six months of weigh ins one psych eval and one nutritionist appt before I was approved by insurance. Once I got approval my surgery was two weeks later :-)
