Looking for november buddies. I got my approval today. Im so excited!!! Nov 4th here I come!!!!

I have BCBS and have met all requirements. How long is it taking ppl to get approved? My Doc said 48-72 hours???? If he is like the Docs I work for he has no real idea!

I also have bcbs but of Illinois. It took 17 very long days for my approval. Good luck my new life began today!

Well its done !!! I am fatigued and sore but no real pain. Now watching the Bears kick sone Packer butt!!!

. Congrats!!! So glad it went well! Now it's my turn!

Tomorrow (11/5) is my day!! Wish I could say I aced the clear liquid diet but I've cheated...a lot! Getting super nervous. Not so much about the surgery itself but about me failing my sleeve. Donuts....cookies....candy....cake.... Some days I wouldn't eat if not for those things. I hope I can do this. See u on the other side!

That would awesome. Can you provide the info?

message me your fb email and i will invite you

hi I am.the day after thanksgiving in Milwaukee wisconsin

I'm on your Thanksgiving, lol in Alberta Canada

Today november 5, my new bday I'm in va

11/8 is going to be here before I know. I'm so afraid that I will regret this. Mainly because of what I think society feels about having the surgery. I'm afraid I still will want to eat crappy food in 2 years from now. My mind is going crazy. I don't want to feel ashamed for having the surgery but I already feel it a little. watch the biggest loser and I feel that somehow I should be able to. I've done it twice in the past with exercise and diet but I just don't have it in me. I'm obviously going through with it but just trying to work it all out in my head still. Vent over.

I feel the same way you do Tammy. I fear the issues with my head more than stomach hunger. I am hoping that 2 years from now I can be in control naturally and not want to eat anything that isn't completely beneficial to my body.

Well completed all pre surgical testing yesterday. now for my last 2 appts thursday i need to get the surgical clearance from pcp and friday i go see my coordinator for my handbook and what not. I cant believe im just 7 days away. Friday is my last day of work.

I have moments of freaking out and then i have moments when i feel completely calm which is wierd.

good luck to everyone being sleeved today!

I'm from Nor Cal.... I'm currently an unfilled slipped bandster. I'm waiting on approval and scheduling but am expecting it for Nov. I sure hope so anyways....

Well its done !!! I am fatigued and sore but no real pain. Now watching the Bears kick sone Packer butt!!!

Outstanding Chris! You are a true Bears fan to have just had surgery and cheering the Bears on! Bravo!
