February Sleevers -- Let's Do This Together

[Finding_Stacy 263]

Because it's tentative. They messed up and didn't upload all my tests and procedures properly on my first visit, so they can't give me a surgery date until they have all that done. Then they'll run it through insurance, but because they know I do have them, and they're the ones who screwed up, so they went ahead and booked me, figuring it will all be in and done by that date.

All they need now is an Iron test from me (the only test I didn't do beforehand) which I'll get done tomorrow, then they'll send it to my insurance for preapproval.

Hey guys I got a surgery date for Feb. 8, 2017. I'll be having surgery in NJ.

Still haven't been approved by insurance yet tho. Very nervous about it actually as I have gained a couple of pounds due to the holidays and scared they might think I'm not serious about surgery . 8 pounds to be exact from the last time they weighed me.

I am 5'5 and weigh 248 now. When the first weighed me I was 240 in November

Really can't wait for the next 3 weeks to fly by and I hope I get approved!!

Good luck my feb. sleevers !!!! I will keep y'all updated .

How is everyone doing? Anyone on their pre op diet yet? I started to eat healthy and do some cleanses before my technical pre op diet just so I know I'm lowering the visceral fat (fat around organs) to help with surgery. My Surgery is Feb 9th. I feel like it's all I think about. I'm totally consumed by the pre op, post op guidelines...the surgery, everything. It's all that's going through my head. Can't focus on anything else. I want it done and over with so I can move on to healing.

It is all consuming, isn't it? This may sound crazy, but I never realized how much of an emotional eater I am/was until I had that first consultation. We went to Red Lobster afterwards and I kept eating until I was in pain. Since, I've caught myself doing it many and many times, I think from the stress of this process among other things. Or maybe I'm binging because I know I can't soon enough. I don't know. It's all so....confusing, sometimes.

But I was going to ask, have you guys ever watched the YouTube vlogs on life after wls? I find myself crying each and every time when they're still in the hospital, signing the last of the papers before being rolled away into surgery. That signature is a goodbye to your old self, all the heartache and self hatred. It's a goodbye to the 'I wills and I can'ts because of my weight'. It's putting all your chips on the table and gambling for a better life, because now you've found the right road to who you were meant to be all along, and now, finally, you're putting your past to bed.

Yeah, what a powerful moment <3
