Questions, I have questions. Not about the pre surgery diet or anything like that, but our Facebook group. Can our regular Facebook friends see our posts. I am hesitating saying anything there till I find out. I have some real life friends who are "Negative Nellies" and I don't need negativity before surgery. Lovely people but have a hard time saying encouraging words.Let me know if what I post or responses to your posts are private please.

One week today I will be sleeved! Mixed feelings because I have never had any kind of surgery and I am really nervous. As for the 10 pre-op diet it is a ton easier then I thought it would be especially with going to two birthday parties and the big Game... Oh and working! I am having mixed feelings because I am a single parent and it makes me worry about my son. I just hope and pray everything turns out well.

Hi! Good luck! I have never had surgery either, so I can relate. Being a single mother is never easy...been there...things will be so much better with weight loss. I wish you the best of luck!

Tomorrow is my surgery day! The support that I have received for my family,friends,and all of you is amazing. Thanks so much!!!!! Xoxoxo

I feel like a squirrel gathering nuts for the winter. I have been planning and shopping like a crazy person. I still don't feel like I have enough stored. My surgery is 11/19 and starting my pre-op diet today.

Wow so I'm not the only one nesting so to say. My surgery is tomorrow 11/7 @ 2:00 in dallas. have you had yours yet?

No, the posts and likes you make there do not show up on your timeline..just be sure to delete or hide your recent activity on the left side of your profile or the group invite will show up and you're good :-)

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!

Bamagirl, I'm BCBS as well, and it really was under 72 hrs. I got the call to schedule, then a week later got the insurance letter, which I kept.

Hi Novembers! I was sleeved on the 4th and am doing great. It was easier than the pre op diet, but had its own challenges. The day of, I don't remember much. The next day was worse, lots of abdominal pain, especially getting up and moving around. Moving around also made me pretty nauseated. they gave me a lot of meds for nausea which helped. I think it was the pca morphine pump that contributed to the nausea. Since I've been off the meds, I've felt better. Ive got timers going for walking and sipping. Welcome to my new timed life, at least for a little while. #SkinnyArmy!

I know exactly what you mean. I'm set for some sort of full liquid Armageddon, with stockpiles of pudding and ff cream soups, plus buckets of protein powder. Friday I'll start stocking up for the rest of my family. How are full liquids going? I start Sunday and am feeling like a fruitcake already.
