@@cmhueto Thank you, I am thinking it won't be so bad since I will only being doing liquids (thicker liquids) up to that day. I may wean myself off thick liquids over the next few days.

I completely understand! While I am at work I am constantly offered cupcakes, cakes, tacos, Bagels, chips and dips, sandwiches...it's never ending. there is some sort of party here at least once a week. It's really difficult!

We (YOU) can do this!!

Day 2 of pre-op diet. Surprisingly not even craving sweets. It's national donut day and I was able to walk past them at work and not even flinch. Can wait for June 18t to get here. Ready for my sleeve and my new life!

I am being sleeved on June 18th as well. Day 5 of my pre-opt diet. Have done pretty well so far. Had a mental warfare day on Wednesday but stuck to the plan.

I walked into work today and the lady in line in front of me (we have to go through security) was holding 2 giant boxes of dounts for National Donut Day. I didn't even entertain the thought of cheating. YAY ME!! There might be some will power left in me after all :)

I am ready for my sleeve and my new life as well. Good luck to you.

wooohooo! had my final insurance appt friday and I am scheduled for June 23. I start the 2 week liquid diet tomorrow which I know will be tough but I am just so excited that it is finally here! I had a mini food funeral this weekend, but was really good about portions and didn't binge so it was a nice sign that things are moving in a positive direction.

June 23rd for me too! On day 2 of pre op diet

I thought my surgeon's office submitted my paperwork to insurance company for final approval last week. I called yesterday to check status. The coordinator hadn't even sent it yet! Failed to mention they needed a letter from me stating why I wanted surgery, and also a letter from my PCP as to why I should have surgery. They NEVER told me those requirements 2 months ago. Geeeeesh.

I'm in the same boat. They told me "you're done with your insurance requirements and we can submit it" then AFTER I pay the giant program fee they tell me that that was true, but the surgeon requires things and they won't submit to insurance until he has all of this junk. This is stuff I've noticed other people having long after they got a surgery date. If I didn't want this so much I'd give up.

Same here my Doctor was to submitt my prior Authorization Friday June 5 I called insurance yesterday to check and they had nothing on file so I e mail my surgeons PA and she has yet to reply and let me know why she stated it had been submitted but the insurance has nothing to review. I am so nervous and driving myself insane I need this so badly but I keep dreaming I get denied :( this is so nerve racking I was more calm and had less anxiety about giving birth.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who watches videos on people's sleeve journeys . It has really helped me prepare myself what is hopefully around the corner for myself. Finishing my 6 month diet on Friday and then my scope on Monday :) hopefully surgery in July

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
