They sent me over my handbook for all the pre-op preparations and diet which will begin in just about a week and a half. It now feels so real :lol:

EAS may be changing their packaging because all of their products in the purple containers were at least 50% off at my grocery store. Not sure if that's one of the Proteins approved by everyone else's Dr, but if so it's worth checking out.

Hi everyone! I was hoping to be a July sleever, but slooooow paperwork processing has me focusing on August.

I am 41 and a mother of four. I suffer from chronic debilitating Migraines, severe sleep apnea, pernicious anemia, congestive heart failure and chronic hypertension. My BMI is 36, but I have more than enough co-morbidities. I have my final weigh in with my surgeon 7/30 and we will schedule the surgery then. I haven't received an official approval yet, as I must wait for my primary insurance to deny before submitting to Medicare.

This waiting game is killer.

Anyone else in NE Florida?

Looks like I may be an AUGUST sleever, too! I have done my psych evaluation, chest X-ray, primary care doctor visit, and abdominal ultrasound. I have my EGD consult tomorrow and sleep study consult next week. Moving right along. I will be doing a revision from the band.

@@chimboree26 if you dont mind me asking why are you getting a revision to the band, i had originally planned to have the band but my doc said it would be beneficial as i would not lose enough weight

Hi. I started this process with an online info course in late March and had my first appt with the surgeon on April 20th. I finally have all my various approvals and had my pre-op consult today. They gave me two potential surgery dates: Aug 13th or the 18th.

I'm frustrated at how long this has taken so I'm glad to have at least an idea of a date but also I find myself a bit nervous at the reality. The fact that I have to wait almost another month increases my anxiety. The red tape in this country is ridiculous.

It was required by my Dr. that I obtain a therapist while going through this process but I find that absolutely useless. This is my first post here but I've gotten more help and peace of mind reading forums and watching YouTube videos from others who have gone through this than a therapist who knows of someone and keeps sharing the same stories with me of her interaction with that person. So thank you all for being here.

:-)

Thea

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
