Glad you are healing up well! All you can do is take it one day at a time right? ?On 06/19/2018 at 16:33, Crcountry said:
5 days post-op now. Just started full liquids. Recovery not so bad. First 2 days was painful to get out of bed. Everyday was so much better then the day before. Stomach still tender and still a little painful to drink. Baby sips still.

I plan on calling and bugging about 3-4 days after we submit to insurance and then every business day after. I'm gonna make them approve it just to get rid of me... HAahaYou gotta do what you gotta do! ??? My paper work was submitted on a Tuesday and I believe they called me that Friday. It was definitely quicker than a week which they said approval takes a week here in CT
Every time I see someone post "anyone else having surgery on such a d such date"...... I always say you should go check out the summer surgery buddies post. One of our members even took the time to make a list of everyone's surgery dates..... I hope I end up having someone the same time as me. I'll end up being a surgery orphan...lol

I would love to make some surgery buddies now so we can go through all the pre-op requirements together and stick through surgery and beyond. Anyone else already know their surgery will occur this summer?
My surgery is going to fall in the July or August time frame. Most of this is dependent upon checking all my surgeon's boxes, the rest is dependent upon my financing since I'm self-pay. I'll be getting the sleeve.
I love my surgeon and feel really lucky to have found him. So far the pre-op stuff has gone smoothly, but I am just at the beginning stages. I've scheduled all my evals and classes and attended my first weight loss class last week. I found it to be mildly helpful. It was certainly geared more toward those that hadn't already read through the surgery binder and/or those that had no clue what healthy eating consisted of. I'm hoping future classes focus more on the post-op eating.
My first visit with my PCP about this surgery is next week as that's the soonest I could get in to see her. I'm hoping she'll be supportive as my surgeon knew of her when I told him that's who I see. But if I have to find another PCP so be it.
My first dietician appt is next week and psych eval is the week after that. I only have to get these three meetings out of the way to schedule my surgery. So I'm anxious to get that done!
I'm excited to hear from others along the same timeline as me!
