Interested to see the awesome group that will be going through this journey with me at the same time. Please reply so that I can follow your journey as well. My last weigh in is on April 15 and surgery date will either be May 11 or May 18.

May 13th, I'm getting really nervous. I have my pre-op appointment tomorrow, I haven't been really following the pre-surgery liquid diet so I don't think I've lost weight since my last appointment. Will this be a big deal since I'm already approved and have a scheduled surgery date?

Afternoon to all you may sleevers going in next Thursday 14 th may sounds like a busy time for all drs to be

Have been on optifast all past week but had a small meal everyday I do get hungry after tea though so I still have a small snack however I will opt for a shake until op comes along for the next week

Hope you all do really well in the future post op that is

Anyone having it done on 18th? That's my date.

I am also the 18th

I got sleeved May 4th

I am tired of being limited to liquids and hearing I'm not really hungry that it's head hunger. Anybody else feel the same??

My second day home from getting sleeved on Tuesday. Was able to pass gas last night for the first time. What a relief!

To everyone who's had surgery this week and to those getting it done today, I wish you all the best with a speedy recovery.

My surgery is also May 14th. My Dr.put me on a two week high protein diet. Not a liquid diet. I think I got lucky! Dr Wiess in Lexington Ky.

First, CONGRATS to all newly sleeved!!! how exciting!!!!!

Wow my journey is still a rollercoaster, I've been waiting 2 full weeks for my approval and they rejected it. I did all my requirements including 6 weight checks, but insurance is counting weight checks as 5 months instead of the required 6 months. Apparently one month is from first weight check until the second weight check, so i have my final weight check next week 5/15. All other paperwork looked great, so insurance stated they will approve after 5/15. Because of the positive feedback the coordinator has scheduled me with a surgery date of June 1st. This all happened yesterday (on my bday), i cried when insurance gave me the bad news, but the coordinator then brought me back up with pre scheduling me.

I've had so many setbacks, First, i was told my ins required 3 months so I originally finished all requirements in january and even submitted all paperowork.

Apparently, the insurance changed their req as on 2015 from 3 months to 6 mths and I was the lucky one to feel this change before anyone. There I go trying to stay positive after feeling devastated but i continued, so after yesterday's bad news I was in shock and went num. after coordinator scheduled me, i felt like this surgery will happen for me. I have to stay positive, there is no option.

My apologies for the rant....

Good things come to those that wait and everything always happens for a reason. All sayings that we just repeat as comforts, however, I really do believe that everything is supposed to happen the way God wants it to happen and in his time schedule. God used you before your surgery to help us get though ours with this forum that you started which to me is an honor to be used this way. You are on your way. hang in there. jake
