Interested In A Mentor

Hi,

I am scheduled for a vertical sleeve procedure on December 17th. I would welcome someone to go to who has been through this and is doing well.

Thank you for your time,

Tammie

I am at the beginning of my sleeve journey, I just met my surgeon and got a list of appointments that need to be done before I see my surgeon again and get a date

I would like a mentor who has been through this process

Thx

I don't know if i would say that im a mentor but am having surgery December 3rd. I had to go through a six mouth supervised diet in order to be approved by insurance. It took only two days to be approved after all paper work was submitted. I am very happy and ready to start my life. Best wishes!!!

Tammie, where r u at in the process?

[princesstami 94]

Surgery is scheduled for December 17, I start the pre-op diet on the 7th. I have 7 final exams to take the 9th - 12th. I suggested my husband move out for the week, I am anticipating that I will be a mess.

How about you?

[Zoumommy 61]

No surgery date yet. I have to jump through all the hoops first (dietician, psych eval, sleep study, PT, upper GI) then I go back to my surgeon and get a date. I'm trying to cram all if these appointments in before we travel to Michigan for Cgristmas

Where are you having surgery?

[princesstami 94]

I am having surgery in Alma, Michigan - that actually do it where I am from but my insurance says.....so that is what I do, works out ok since I am a nurse at the hospital and I don't have to be taken care of by people I will work with in the future.

[Zoumommy 61]

Oh that's good! I'm a Michigander stuck in Missouri ( just while hubby finishes college) So I'm having my surgery in Missouri

Brenda, how long did it take you from start to surgery?

I started with my first appointment May. 15 and was sleeved Nov 25 so six months and 10 days.
