I know right. I even bought like toddler fork and knife and toddler plates lol so I can get used to portion sizes. I'm doing isagenix 30 day cleanse. 2 Protein shakes a day and healthy meal for supper. And then 2 days a week, for the first and second week are "cleanse days". When you use their juice and supplements. I've done their cleanses a lot. It worked really well for me in the past. I'm going to continue using their shakes and stuff post op because it has a lot of Vitamins and nutrients. However, some doctors say there is too much sugar. But the sugar is natural source and for all the other nutrients it has, it outweighs any other Proteins I have researched. My doctor is on board with it. So that's good haha. Also cleanse days are meant to lower visceral fat which is fat around organs! Like the liver and stomach, which we need haha. It's win win. Not the easiest thing to do but I know it's working. :)

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 .

Feb. 8th also!!

Paperwork was submitted in early December and was approved in less than two weeks! My date is set for February 16. I'm excited, yet scared! Its been since the late 90's since I've had any type of major surgery. My surgery will be in Birmingham Alabama.

My date is Feb 14th. That's right, Valentine's day! It is tentative pending insurance approval. I have BCBS and they required 6 consecutive month doc visits with weight loss management. I joined weight watchers and had a well documenting doc. Should find out by next week if insurance approves or if I have more hoops to jump through. Fingers crossed!

      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!
