So idk my surgery date yet i just know in October. ...

What are your dates and progress so far

Mine should be in December. That's when all the insurance stuff is done. I'm done with all of my prerequisites. But I have to turn in a 6 month daily food journal. That's what's taking so long.

My surgery was last Friday 7/25 and I am doing great!! The worst part has been the gas. Between the 2 week prep diet and now I have lost 14lbs. I was worried that I would doubt my decision to do this, but so far I am very happy!! I was back at work Monday and doing well. If anyone has questions, please feel free to ask!!

Question for post-op sleevers: My schedule is scheduled for a Wednesday. I'm a middle school teacher so I don't really do any lifting or strenuous physical activity at work. Based on your experience: How much time do you suggest taking off to recover?

I had lap band on a Friday and I was fine for work on Monday. I have a desk job, so it was easy. I'm not sure what the downtime for a sleeve is...sorry!!

My surgery is scheduled for Aug 12 @ 6:30 am! I started my 2 week liquid prep-op diet today!

I have seen the surgeon and completed to the required nutrition/education classes. I have also provided all of the appropriate documentation and medical records and am now seeking insurance approval. My surgery date is scheduled Oct 6th. Wish me luck!!!

Good luck! My surgery date is August 15th. It's so hard to wait. I see the doc on the 8th for pre op visit, instructions, what to expect etc. Getting excited and mentally ready

I'm just starting the process. I have my PCP referral appt. next Wednesday (it was supposed to be today but doctor called off sick!) and then August 26th is the first appt. with the Bariatric Surgery department. I'm pretty sure my insurance BCBS of NE PA requires the 6 months of visits, NUT appt, Psych eval, bloodwork. So, if I start in late August, I'm guessing I won't be approved for surgery until late Feb 2015.

Things are moving along a little quicker than I thought they would so now it looks like I'll be sleeved in September! I have one more appointment with psych, one more with the nut, and one with an internist with the practice. That will all be done in the next two weeks. Then I'll get my date! I met my surgeon today and she said September is very likely...

Thank you! I am feeling better today than I have the other days that I've been home. I'm not the kind that really "takes it easy" and that really bit me in the butt. The day after I got home I went grocery shopping with my sister, got extremely hot and felt terrible the rest of the day. I've found a pretty good balance between activity and rest the last two days and today I felt great. Also, the gas pains have gone away for the most part which has been the most painful part for me. If I'm being honest, I don't eat or drink as much as they told me too because I feel like I physically can't. It took me two days to eat a whole container of yogurt lol
