Going through my insurance required six month supervised diet. Very anxious for time to pass to get my surgery. I finish in May, so am optimistically looking at June for surgery. Anyone else around my stage? Isn't the wait killing you????

I did it!!! I got sleeved this morning and am feeling good! I have had very little pain other when I stood up and laid down again. I am so excited to start this life journey!!

I hope all you other June Sleevers get the best experience with your surgery and have quick recoveries!

I'm finally home. I stayed an extra day because of pain and inability to tolerate liquids. I had a much better day so the surgeon let me go home.

Tomorrow is the big day for me. The nerves are definitely there. But glad the wait is almost over. I'm checking in at 9:30am. Oh my goodness. Is anyone else going in tomorrow?

Tomorrow is my day too. I check in at 8:00am. Best of luck.

So how are you feeling now? I didn't start feeling halfway normal until the second day out. Stayed in hospital 2 nights and just got home today. I've been a sipping these grape isoprene drinks with protein in them.

i see now. Me too....extra day for those reasons. Came home this morning. A lot of nausea, but it, knock on wood, seems to be getting better.

I was sleeved on Monday and I have just started feeling pretty good. The hardest thing for me is sleeping and getting comfortable. Oh and dry heaves! Ouch! I have had them a few times! Yikes! Called my doctor and they just doubled my anti-nausea meds. Hopeful that makes them go away! Hope everyone else is doing well!

Yup, I've been sleeping in a recliner because I can't get comfy in bed or on the couch. I'm a side/stomach sleeper, but if I try to lie on my side, my deep incision pulls and bothers me.

I finally met with my surgeon today! He is a Ukrainian fox! Seriously, he walked in the room in this wicked tight tshirt and I was like "who is this stud?"

Annnnnyway, they submitted everything to insurance this afternoon and he said there was absolutely no reason I should be denied and I should be getting a call next week to schedule my surgery. Finally!! I'm going to be jumping every time the phone rings.

I got my approval and date today! Not the date I wanted but I can't be any happier! July 20!!

@@wascott - I see your surgery is 06/22!! Good luck Monday!!

I was sleeved Monday in Tijuana. Amazing experience and impressive professionals. I am home back in Texas and doing great! No nausea. No pain except for standing up and laying down, but not bad. I am forcing myself to take it easy. The only issue I am dealing with is that I am getting hungry ..... Oh and living in the bathroom while the clear liquids run through me lol. Very happy with my decision.

@@Licia'sjourney Thank you! I'm just about packed. I have to get up at 2:30am to make my flight but I'm excited and ready to have this done.

Yay!! I hope you get your approval really quick!! The wait made me crazy!! I wanted to call & bug my insurance company, but I held out. It was approved 15 days after they submitted it. Good luck!!! ????

@@LynRey70 Thank you! I just arrived at the hotel. Resting until tomorrow.

He told me it should only take 2-3 days for approval. I really hope he's right because even that is going to kill me!

I'm nervous. I suddenly have this fear that even though my insurance covers it, what if my husband's employer doesn't?? I'm trying not to worry about it because I think the odds of that happening are pretty low.
