Congratulations, you have made a good decision. Getting the sleeve is one of the best decision I've made in my life and wish I'd done it sooner. My advise to you is to follow your doctors instructions and once you do you will love this tool.

Wishing you good luck.

Update-I've gotten my test results back and I have to take Iron and calcium citrate. I also had my first nutrition visit and I have a lot of habits to change. First NO MORE SPARKLING Water. T

Best of luck to you! I'm at the beginning of my process as well. Have those test next month. That's going to be tough for me giving up the sparkling Water :(

Update: My new labs are good and the surgeon cleared my labs. Iron and Calcium look good!

Last thing to be cleared is my last appointment with the nutritionist tomorrow! I have no doubt it will, as I have lost 9lbs since doing the nutrition plan and I was not required to lose anything.

My surgeon says once nutritionist clears me, he will submit me for surgery approval with my insurance company. It can take 3-days to 3 weeks. So I should know by the end of September.

I cannot believe how fast this went!

Im new and excited too I already had my pych visit my endoscopy and one nutrit visit . having my sleeve done November 11. I was approved on my first consult with the surgeon and given my date the same day . Don't know if it was good insurance or just that huge lol anyway im on my way. Been binge reading on this forum with the February babies who are 7 months out now . wondering how,sherriebabi ,anythinganna, and the others are doing . their eating journey was kinda scary and encouraging at the same time.

Any November babies out there?

Good news! I got the call my insurance (CIGNA PPO PLUS) approved me for surgery. I have scheduled my post op nutritionist visits but I am waiting for the scheduler to call me to schedule the actual surgery. The surgeon office says it will most likely be the week of Nov 18th and they should be calling me today! WOO HOO!

Just a note on CIGNA, they will need a formal letter of recommendation from your PCP not the Surgeon. I could have been approved 2 wks ago but I had to chase down my PCP. But its all taken care of..

Stay tuned to see my surgery date post!

Super proud of you and for you. I've completed everything, I get my date in November as I wanted to wait until January for my surgery. The Dr. was ready to go in October, sheesh. It feels good doesn't it? Congratulations

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
