I am expecting to get my sleeve done in Oct or Nov. I haven't even started my 90 day nutrition yet (there's a group session at the end of this month that will start my 90 day clock), so I'm thinking late Sept. at the very earliest.

I'm in the process now of gathering the documentation to send to insurance. I have an appointment with my primary care doc today to get a recommendation from him.

Anyone else with me for fall? It seems like most posters here are Spring/Summer sleevers.

Hello:

Yes, my surgeon said I should be around Halloween time frame. I am 2 months into 6 month diet and nutrition with doctor oversight. So our time frame is about the same.

This is month 1 for me, so if all goes to plan I might get a surgery date for late Nov. I have to go through the 6 months program per my insurance.

I am scheduled for November 3rd. I am so ready to get this started!! I am a self pay because my insurance does not cover WLS surgery and therefore I chose to do my surgery in Mexico.

Hello everyone! I had my first consult yesterday and also have a 6 month program with insurance to fulfill before coverage. Last weight check is oct 21st so probably beginning of Nov will be my surgery date. Best wishes to all!

Hi everyone: I am likely going to be a fall sleever. I have begun the process (attended my seminar and 1st NUT class on Tuesday) and have 2 more NUT classes, psych eval and EGD to complete. I also will have a one on one with my surgeon before my surgery date is scheduled. I am very excited to see this through. Best of luck to everyone on your journey!

If everything goes as planned I'm looking at an early Fall / late Summer date. Just need to get a three month supervised diet out of the way. My guess is it'll land around September. Good luck to everyone!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
