you'd have to ask your insurance .. I think if it is medically needed u shouldn't have to pay if your ins covered the sleeve

May 2nd is soooo close! Just had my pre admission testing done. Now just counting down the days. Clear liquids day before. Treating myself to a pedicure and getting my nails done French (I have acrylic nails need to be clear color) maybe even get a facial! How's everyone doing? Anyone else having surgery on the 2nd? Am I the first loser of the May group?

I'm May 2nd too! I'm getting really excited and nervous and excited ;) I should treat myself to a pedicure too! It would probably relax me a bit. This is my first surgery under general anesthesia. I'm never to sure how I will be, but I had c-section and this surgery is less evasive...so I'm hoping recovery will be easier! How are you doing on the pre-op diet?

Looks I could be May. Passed my psych evaluation and now it will go to insurance. If I get approved in time, looks like surgery by end of May.

I'm doing better than I thought. Being able to have the lean Protein and veggies meal has helped so much. I look forward to cooking dinner. Been chewing food really well and not drinking while eating to practice for after surgery. Good luck to you! How are you doing?

@Fabfemale. I'm nervous about the anesthesia because I always get really sick but I'm hoping and praying for the best this time around. My pre-op has not been bad but I still feel hungry how about you?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
