I can't lie, I'm feeling a mixture of emotions. I was finally approved by my insurance company and my surgery was scheduled for January 28th. I'm hoping the next month goes by quickly and the nerves settle down. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.

We remember feeling the same. Somehow the time will be over before you know it. Just read and study, get your Vitamins purchased, get your little bag ready for the hospital, and keep yourself busy. My husband was told there could bad problems because of his weight, diabetes, blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc, and he carried a worried look for two months - making me think he did not want the surgery. I kept questioning him. He wanted it. Today we are both 1 month post op and almost 1 month post op, and doing great. The surgery was 10 times easier than we expected. Do not read the scary posts here, focus on the positives. This is a wonderful tool to learn everything you need to know from others as you make this journey. Merry Christmas!

Congrats

I am so very excited for you! I can't wait for the approvals to come then the date! Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS! !

Congrats on your approval, I had my Sleeve done on July 29,13. I was scard to death I was having uncontrolled blood sugar, extremly high trglicerides, my blood pressure was high, I have to sleep with a cpap. I have lost a total of 69 lbs. Im under 200 lbs. I was on 3 different insulins now I take one long acting, and every once in a while I take Humalog sliding scale. I hope as I lose the weght I will be able to get off all the insulin. Just remember drink every 10 min. after surgery and up and walking that night after surgery. Very important drink lots of fluids.

Congrats... you will love it. I also could not wait.. so glad its over and on path to better things
