Impatiently waiting...June sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Just got the call from my patient coordinator at my surgeon's office. My medical team reviewed my case, and approved me for surgery. They are now submitting it to insurance for approval!

Once they get the approval letter from my insurance, they'll call me for pre-op! Oh my goodness! I'm getting excited and nervous at the same time!!

June sleever here! June 4, coming on quick!! Good luck to you all. Time has flown since I first started my journey on June 3rd, 2014. What felt like forever in the beginning has really flown by! :)

Got cleared through the surgeon and was all set to submit to insurance when we realized that my PCP forgot to sign one paper. This is a problem because she's on maternity leave and the office staff are being assholes about giving the paper to another Dr. Going to see the office manager and owner at 1 so I can hopefully get this taken care of.

No luck, they're being total jerks. I have a call in to the surgeon.

Oh NO! What a pain in the tush! Sending positive thoughts your way!

I know my PCP, I'm half tempted to call her. It wouldn't be a giant issue but we're changing insurance in 2 months (different job) and I don't want to start this process over again for the third time.

I think I'd be tempted to as well!

I don't know how it's even possible that my insurance hasn't gotten run yet. I'm trying not to panic cause all my doctors patients get run a week before but it's so fustrating It doesn't even phase them that it won't get approved I'm not sure If they are that confident or crazy lol ehhhhh

@@Licia'sjourney We are having surgery on the same day with the same doc!! wow! :)

@@mclorrie - Thank you so much! I'll try that. I bought a couple of the Isopure's to see if I am going to like them. The flavors they have just don't do it for me though. lol

I saw my surgeon for the first time today and they gave me my surgery date!!! I was so surprised. I was not expecting to get it today. Looks like I am a June sleever. 06/24!!! I'm very excited and nervous!!

@@chelleshocked - OMG! That is totally crazy. Maybe we will bump into each other? Once I get a surgery time I will let you know but they said I wouldn't find out probably until the day before. :)

@@Licia'sjourney Yes, they told me the surgery center would call me with a time. That's totally crazy that we bumped into each other at all.

Interwebs, they are awesome :)

Tomorrow I start my two week liquid phase....I am feeling strong and positive. Wish me success.

Good luck! You're going to do fine with it. I had no problems at all the first 3-4 days...then the food cravings started. But, I've stayed on the diet. I just keep thinking that I want the surgery to go as smoothly as possible. I'm currently on Day 10 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. The really strange thing that I've noticed is I am craving meats like grilled shrimp, pork chops and sausage but I have absolutely no desire for sweets or carbs. This is shocking for me since I have a big sweet tooth and rarely ever eat meats. Guess my body is preparing itself for life after surgery!

I'm scheduled for June 1. Now that the date is close, I'm kinda terrified! Anyone else riding that roller coaster?

I'm up on June 2 and roller coaster is a great word for it - I'm hanging on for dear life!

I see my Surgeon tomorrow for the final time before surgery on Tuesday. I've been on the 2 week liquid diet for 10 days now, and am feeling amazingly good.

I have to meet with the anesthesiologist on Friday, then its on to S day. I'm terrified,anxious and unbelieving it actually got approved by insurance!

I hope I keep hydrated afterwards, thats a big concern, one thing I DO NOT want is another I.V.

Good luck and healing prayers for no complications, quick recovery, and lots of pounds gone forever to all my June Sleever Family! :)

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
