Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

ARE THERE ANY OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2015 SLEEVERS OUT THERE?



Recommended Posts

I invited you both via email! Let me know if it works! Introduce yourselves once you get to the group so everyone can say hello :) We are going to close the FB group when we get to 30 or so (we're at 18 now).

I never got the invitation. Can you pm me the name of the group so I can try to find it? Or I can give you my account info instead of just my email addy. Thank you so much!

Hi there! I got a date of November 19th! Working on pre op scope and sleep study and the rest of my nutritional meetings. I only have 2 of those left. I live in Pittsburgh PA!

We are date twins!! I'd love to keep in touch. I'm keeping it relatively secret so I don't have a ton of support. I'm in CT.

The Facebook group is set to "secret" so no one can find it. You need to be invited via email (send me to me through a personal message, easier for me to keep track of it!). If I told you that I sent you an email and you didn't get it, the only way to add you is for me to friend you on FB and then to add you that way (then to unfriend you because I'm crazy about who I have as friends on FB... no hard feelings :)

So, send me a message with your email address or, if that didn't work, your name on FB so I can Friend you! :)

We're going to limit our group to about 30 so it doesn't get all crazy and dramatic... we are at 20 now so if you want in, get back to me :) It's a GREAT group so far, we have a lot of good discussions about weight/food related stuff and other life stuff too!

I'm on track right now for late October / early November. My surgeon will be Dr. Nwanguma, at The Medical Center in Bowling Green, KY. I'm new to the forum...first time posting in fact! I'd love to have someone to talk to that's going through this at the same time.

Hi Cindy. I am on track for an October /November surgery and am in Huntington WV. Not too far from bowling green, lol. I am super excited. Feel free to chat if you like.

I'm glad to see so many Fall surgery buddies! :) I have had a little glitch, had a shadow on my nuclear stress test from cardilogist. I only had the stress test because I have some chest aches, I don't think they do it routinely? Anyway, now I have to have a cardiac cath on 9/15 to make sure it's nothing. Apparently, it could be a shadow from big boobs - go figure!! Hoping it's nothing so I can schedule my gastro EGD right afterwards and keep my November 4 surgery date!!!

Someone from one of the Facebook boards started a Fall 2015 Sleevers Facebook board. If you're interested in joining, let me know. It's a secret group so I think I need your email address to add you.

Good luck to everyone!!!!! It's going to be a fun Fall/Winter and hopefully a skinny spring :)

Hi there! I'm new here but would love to be a part of the fb group. My surgery is tentatively October / November. My email is coyote211979@gmail.com

Jennifer, I got your email and have tried to join. Got a message that said that the content is unavailable? BTW, I am not very skilled at FB. I signed up for it for the sole purpose of connecting with others for WLS support.

I'm October 5.

I would already have this behind me, except for the fact that when I went to check in for surgery this past Monday, 8/24, I had quite a bad sore throat and a low-grade fever. The anesthesiologist said no way would he proceed. So I went home.

I am feeling tired, deflated, and using food as a drug again. I spent 2 weeks on liquid Protein and then 2 days on clear. Was literally starving by the end...and so ready for the surgery but...so I'm on the rebound. Don't know how to get my excitement for this and mojo back!

I'm so sorry that happened to you! Of course safety is their #1priority, but I would be bummed too. Hopefully the next month or so goes by very quickly and before you know it, you will have your brand new sleeve. Just keep your eye on the prize! :)

      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!
