December Sleevers??



Recommended Posts

Hehehe well try to get some rest before it, but I’ll be up if you want a chat buddy when you go in. It’s only 5pm here :) it’s good being the first one I think, your surgeon will start the day with you, and then you can recover all day. So excited for you!!!


Sleeved: 2/11/2017

Mine is at 7:30, I’m the first of the day. I can’t sleep though. I think I’m too nervous. I’m really, really excited. But also super nervous about being put under and having a complication or even of having the surgery cancelled (but mainly the other part). So many thoughts and emotions! emoji51.pngemoji51.pngemoji854.pngemoji854.png

Omg I pictured myself in your spot for a sec and now I’m nervous too!!

YOU GOT THIS!!! Everything is going to go as planned and if you have someone taking you to the hospital in the morning don’t worry about the lack of sleep since you’ll be resting all day tomorrow .. you just make sure you’ve got everything you need ready and focus on what will calm your nerves.

Good luck and again, YOU GOT THIS!!!!!

Hi everyone out there...sleeve buddies...

I am here trying to get some last minute info that I may have missed. Tomorrow I start clear diet and the Clearfast my

Dr. recommended for a quicker recovery. In going in on the 5th at 7:30! After 6 months of running around meeting

insurance requirements, finally it's really time. Yes, excited and also afraid of the unknown; I always say we don't know

what we don't know. I am putting myself in Gods & Dr. hands. and I will be alright.

Wishing you all success and a healthy future!

Me too! Dec 8th can't get here soon enough!! Where are you having yours done?

Over in Buddies/Mentors I started a group called Buddies Group for 12/4 to 12/15 sleevers so we can all be there for each other!

My surgery is this time TOMORROW!!! I'm so inspired by so many and looking forward to a healthy better life.

Every doctor has their own protocol for pre-surgery. My surgery is the 5th - tomorrow. I had my own anxiety a few days ago but I know God has this. I think we wonder if we will ever get there cause it's been such a long journey for most of us like a rollcoaster trying to lose weight. I'm so read to get off all these meds and go for a hike and maybe even go camping again!!
Go join the Buddies Group for December under buddies and mentors. I think there's about 8 of us in there and we can all support each other. The ONE main thing that I never got with lap band surgery, I'm determined to be successful.

December 19th in Edinburg, TX. I'm so excited! 2 week liquid diet starts on Dec 5th.
My first appt was in August. So far no delays except cardiologist wants a lexiscan instead of EKG, that's this Tuesday. So hoping doe no delays. Deductible is pretty much met. I have 2 insurances Aetna and united healthcare. United only requires 4 visits vs Aetna 6 months.
Congrats to all December sleevers!!!
Question: anyone on the liquid diet yet? Tell me about it. What are you drinking???

December 19th! Just the phone to schedule today!

So I read through the entire 27 pages of this thread and found everyone scheduled for 12/19/2017. Are any of you going to Bariatricpal in Tijuana with Dr Illan? I'm trying to find people who will be there the same day as me.

I'm on my liquid pre-op diet now and I am SO hungry. I just keep reminding myself this is WORTH it!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
