Any december surgies out there???

I'm hoping for the second week in Dec. Just have 1 more med superv diet appt and a sleep study for possible sleep apnea. I'm 6'0" and current weight 303 goal weight of 160. I'm getting really excited and nervous. On one hand I'm scared that the insurance will deny me, on the other hand I'm scared that they will approve it and my life will be completely different when it comes to food. I do all the baking for the holiday season and all the birthdays. Honestly I love cooking/baking, its my way of relaxing. I guess I need to find another hobby. I'm 35 yrs old, wife, and a mom of 3 young boys. I know I can do this because I have been researching wls for a couple years now. It just seems so surreal now I guess. Sorry for the ramblings. Lol

Hello everyone! I've been mostly in The Man Room forum on this and the Vertical Sleeve Talk support groups. My surgeon said I'd be good for the sleeve. Then my insurance overruled him, so now I'm trying to look forward to an RNY. I've read you lose more with the RNY. So there's that. I saw some other guys posting here, and since my surgery date is in December, I thought I'd join in the thread. I'm probably like other guys in that my wife started looking at bariatric surgery for herself last year. But she changed her mind and looked back into WW instead. Then on a whim, I asked my PCP about it for myself and he immediately jumped on it saying it was medically necessary for me, due to my having all the co-morbidities, even though my BMI is less than 40. A week later I was accepted into the program. That was Aug 1st. I've completed all the pre-lims: met with NUTs (dietitian/nutritionist), one for insurance and one for surgeon, psych, surgeon, and case managers for insurance and surgeon. My date for surgery is now 12/31/13. I don't know why they're waiting until the end of the year. I think it's due to the holiday schedules of the surgeons. I've read your posts—your wanting it done already, and then wanting it postponed FOREVER! I can relate. I've had those mixed feelings as well. I asked my surgeon's dietitian how many have had buyers remorse after surgery. And she said “ALL OF THEM!” She added that they usually get over it before they're eating soft foods. I'm hoping for success and no more meds for those co-morbidities. Hopefully they'll be gone like my PCP and surgeon seem to think. Height 6' 1”, HW 290, CW 270, GW 190. Also, I'm at Spokane WA, (and used to PEBB (insurance contractor) as a state employee. Hello to u-no-it!)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
