I'm 67 years old and looking forward to my surgery date. I'm told I probably have about a 2 month wait until everything lines up and insurance gives the go ahead. Until then, I'm slowly eliminating my trigger foods, takong re recommended supplements, reducing intake to at least half my usual amount. I like Premier Protein shakes and taking 2 a day. Lots of Water, which is easy for me as that's my go to when thirsty. I'm committed to doing what it takes to embark on this journey. I'll be there for you as I know you'll be there for me. Reach out and share...

Hi welcome

Where are you from? I'm in Boston and hopefully getting sleeved March 2

Hi Sally. Born in Québec then grew up in Maine then worked in Boston. My son and daughter in law live in Mass and are in early preop testing stage as I am. I was in Boston October last year. Love the city! I now live in Tampa Florida. My son in Tampa was sleeved 2 years ago. Feels and looks fabulous...can't wait!

Hi, I'm Dawn, I live in Savannah, I have a supportive husband and two preteen boys [emoji1]
I was sleeved Friday the 17th. I've been severely to morbidly obese all my life. So thankful for this new opportunity God has blessed me with!

So glad for you, Dawn. I'll follow your journey and support any way I can. I'm still in testing to be cleared for surgery. God bless...

I had my surgery done in Miami, I'm from Citrus County FL, where the Manatees are right now [emoji4]

I live in Tampa...

Just a little humor to end the day

Where In Tampa are you getting your surgery?

Hi Chryss,

In Brandon, FL. How about you? Where are you from?

I'm getting it at Tampa General.

That's great. Do you have your surgery date yet? I'm still in testing phase for clearance. Blood work this morning...

No date yet. All my paperwork is in. I have my endoscopy in two weeks and then meeting with surgery. My paperwork would be ready for submission on April 1st, so hoping not to long after. I'm curious to meet someone with experience with Tampa general and find out how long it takes to scheduled for surgery once the insurance approves.

When do you think you will get your surgery date?

All preop assessments and tests will be done mid March. After that, request is submitted to insurance then it's up to them to approve. So if all goes well, late March, or early April. I'm doing my part , the rest depends on others.
