Hi all. I am new here. I just got my acceptance letter today from my insurance!!!! I faxed it to my scheduler and will wait until morning to find out my sleeve date. I am so stinking excited!!!! Any advice for me? I know my hospital stay is a overnight stay so I am not worried about that. I just don't know when to expect the surgery. I was never told about any special diet pre-op so should I expect that to come tomorrow after scheduler calls? I have heard there is a two week all liquid pre-op diet. Is that correct? I have been to the nutritionist and know what to expect afterward....just not before!!!!

That is super exciting!! I remember getting my approval letter...I couldn't believe it at first that I had to read it twice..lol. Regards to the pre op diet/ 2 week liquid diet...all doctors are different and require different pre op and sometimes post op requirements, they should be told to you soon, probably when you get your date!!

Anyways, congrats! And good luck starting an exciting journey! If you want to chat or ask questions to me, feel free to PM me, I respond to them ASAP :)

congratulations! I am still in the process. Waiting on sleep study results because that will decide if I can have the surgery since my bmi is under 40 my insurance requires two comorbidities, I already have high bp. I am meeting with my surgeon again tomorrow because the first time we discussed the lap band and then I changed my mind to the sleeve. I know about not sleeping, ever since my sleep study I have been all screwed up because I didn't sleep a wink that night and then slept the whole next day. I hope my surgeon has the results tomorrow. I am so ready to do this! Let us know when your surgery date is.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
