Recommended Posts

I am schedualed for April 23rd. I got my insurance approval yesterday. Unfortunately, there was a problem with my blood work, something to do with clotting. My doctors office us mailing me a new prescription to have new blood work done at a lab. Really hoping surgery can happen as planned on the 23rd.

Hi,

I'm brand new here... Been lurking and reading topics for the last few days... I was approved last week for the sleeve surgery and we scheduled it for 4/23 yesterday. I'm supposed to start pre-op diet Monday of 2 shakes and a meal of lean Protein and veggies... I'm a little nervous about the recovery as I am planning to go back to work the Monday post surgery (desk job)... Other than that I'm cautiously excited :-)

@@msshellg I'm so glad to see someone else planning to go back to work right away. My nutritionist said she has had several people who do which is exciting for me. I am not planning to tell my co-workers that I have had sleeve surgery... they think I am having my gallbladder removed. (I'm pretty new there and not really comfortable with that level of disclosure yet.)

Which Protein powder are you using for your pre-op diet? I'm hopping for mine tomorrow :-)

I am scheduled for the end of this month and I am having a really hard time with food all of a sudden. I want to eat everything and anything I see. I do not want to have to reschedule my surgery because I put on weight. The program I am in has you loose 10 percent of your excess body weight prior to surgery. Any ideas why or how I can kick this by the end of the month. Nerves and excitement are kicking in pretty hard.

Hello April Sleevers. I am on schedule for 4.18. Pre-registered at the hospital, one week of pre-op diet down, one more to go. I started my journey in Jan, insurance approval took three weeks but managed to receive approval on the first pass. Feeling a little anxiety but so ready to have this tool in my weight loss battle.

I read something about an April Facebook page........I would like to join if possible.

Good luck to you all, we are going to be the success stories our surgeons point to as examples for others.....stick to the plan and never forget you are an amazing human......

Mark

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
