I was hoping to get the sleeve done during the summer, however, I couldn't count my pcp's documentation because I needed 6 consecutive months.... So now it's looking like October.

This is an issue as I'll probably have to wait until November or December until I have a decent break to help with recovery....

Any teachers with any advice, tips, etc?

I'm also having my rny on the 15th. Guess that makes for triplets. Ha ha ! Started my pre op diet yesterday very different from the usual. Wish you both luck. If you would like my wife had a sleeve about a year ago and I have been going to two support groups for about 6 months and can maybe answer questions if you have any. Once again best of luck to you both hope to keep in touch.

Thanks so much! I will definitely be in touch because my husband is having sleeve later in the year. Wish you the best as well.

My husband will also be getting sleeved, probably this time next year. The three of us will definitely need to keep in touch. 12 more days!

I agree the 15th will be our Lucky Day. I will keep in touch no problem.

Hey im new up here im a teacher assistant also and I plan to have mines some time in july haven't got the date yet

I'm a teacher and was planning on having my rny last December. There was a delay and I'm now having it June 19th. I think Christmas break will be your best option. You want to give yourself as much time as possible to recover.

Hey! I'm a teacher and also scheduled for the 19th of June

I would agree with the other post, if you can't get it completed in July, or the beginning of Aug, wait until you have atleast a full 2 weeks off, or plan on using some sick time.

From my experience having had RNY myself, It is better to get an appointment when your six months is up. Your Insurance may change the requirements. Waiting will get you caught up in the changes from six months to a year. BCBS feel as though we are having bypass in a higher number. You might find yourself on hold. If you are approve do not try to delay. Your job will still be their when you get healthy mine was.

And I thought we were going to be surgery twins! :-) Do you have to do a pre-op diet? I have to do one the 10 days before surgery.

I know well I started the liquid diet the day they called with the new date. So It would have been 2 weeks, but now it will be 2 weeks minus 2 days.

I anyone else done for the summer? Our last day with kids was Friday! I still have to go in this week to wrap up some paperwork, but I'm just so grateful that it will be a little less hectic and I will have plenty of time to focus on my pre-op diet and getting my house and other affairs in order. 8 days to go!

I'm a teacher as well...having sleeve tomorrow June 8! Grateful for summer to adjust, recover and start a new life! Good luck to all of us educators who are taking a step to better ourselves! ????????

I hope all went well today with your surgery. Please let us know whenever you get the strength.

I am a kindergarten teacher, had my sleeve 6 days ago, Although I am in no pain, I get very tired easily. I would def say wait until Christmas break or summer break to have it (I know, more waiting) but you'll be glad you have several weeks just to rest... Your body will need it!
