Any sleevers scheduled for late July?



Recommended Posts

Scheduled for July 31 but insurance hasn't given clearance yet. Such stress. But getting excited. I can't imagine it not going thru given I did all the work and meet the criteria. Hopefully will know by Wednesday. trying to get on the weight loss challenge on this forum but don't know how. Anyone have luck. Its for nine weeks starting monday.

My surgery is scheduled for July 28th. I start my liquid diet on the 14th. I'm so excited because it has taken so long to get to this point and I'm ready to get it done. But I get pretty nervous about it too. I'm not nervous about the surgery, but more about post-op. Will I really be able to do this????

You won't be alone, mine is on July 28th also along with a few others. Let's take it day by day and support each other post-op. We can do this together.

Same here, surgery 7/28 and pre-op diet starts 7/14. My pre-op diet will consist of 3 Protein Shakes and 2-300cal or lower pre packaged meals. I think I will be okay with that, but I'm really nervous about the liquid and puréed stage afterwards. How will I get all my fluids and Protein in? What are good choices? I had 6months with a nutritionist and I know we went over everything, I even have all kinds of paperwork, but I feel like I either overwhelmed or drawing a blank. I guess I better get it together before the 28th. Lol!!

I'm getting sleeved on 7/20. The process was extremely fast. I started my journey in April. Only had to see a psych, nutritionist, and the surgeon 1 time. I am going to a class on the 10 day Protein diet on 7/9 and then have my med clearance on 7/10 with my primary dr. I only had to do labs and a chest X-ray and ekg prior to my surgery. No other testing that everyone was saying...so far. I have bcbs and it took them about a week to approve. I'm excited to get this surgery, and hope that this forum keeps me motivated :)

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
