So I just submitted my paper to the insurance feeling nervous I hope I get the approval ASAP. I excited, scared got all these emotions going on. BUT I did get my surgery date November 7?!? Who else is in November??

I'm in!

I got my insurance approval in early August, done the investigations and scheduled the procedure on Aug 30. I ended up cancelling the whole thing due to fear and anxiety and constant question in my mind (am I giving up with out seriously trying diet and exercise?).

What actually prompted me to consider sleeving was the constant pain and agony from Sciatica caused by disc protrusions L3-S1. Living on Lyrica, Arcoxia and muscle relaxants

My current weight is 135 Kg (298 lbs) while my maximum was 140 Kg (308 lbs) last year

Although I got some relief back in july when I went to Bali with my wife to celebrate our 5 year anniversary when I dropped to 127 Kg (280 lbs) and discontinued my meds, but soon I gained back what lost and reach my 2 year average of 135 Kg (298 lbs) and went back my neurologist to restart treatment for the disc proplase ans sciatica

Just 3 days ago I decided I've had enough and rescheduled the surgery to Nov 1st.

And August Loss is now November's Gain! Best of everything to YOU, you will have it all under control, and the Weight loss can only benefit your back problems.

Believe me I’m scared got to little girls and that’s what constantly on my mind. But the pros to this surgery are amazing. I think so many people have successfully done it why not me. Everything will be great! Stay positive.

Arcoxia is a Coxib, is IT a near-enough cousin to NSAIDS that you will have to delete it? Or will you be allowed to keep it since you are a Sleeve Candidate? I have an Ulcer ?caused by excessive NASID usage, so I worry about it for others.
