@ doublepau when will you start your pre op diet? (if you have one) My pre-op appointment is 2/7 so I assume I be be starting then or shortly thereafter.

@niffer I don't believe my surgeon requires a pre-op diet. Buy my pre-op appointment is on 2/4 so I'll let you know what happens

9 days into my 21 day pre-op and I'm down 16 pounds. It's a good motivator to stick to the diet. I keep thinking "almost half way!" My diet is pretty strict (3 protein shakes/day and up to 250 cal of low glycemic veggies). I don't always get in all 3 shakes, and am still working on upping my water intake. I find evenings are the worst for cravings. How is everyone else doing on their pre-op (if you've started it yet).

February 13th!!! ?. Good luck to everyone I can’t wait to see your results!!

OH NO! I'm scheduled for surgery on Monday and I have a cold! I felt a bit run down and scratchy throat, but by last night I was sneezing, woke up this morning and I can hardly swallow and I am losing my voice. I'm so scared that they won't do the surgery on Monday. I have emailed my surgeon (the pre op instructions said to notify your surgeon if you had cold/flu like symptoms)…. I'm ready to just cry.

I was never at risk of ruining my surgery because I'm not having cravings. And I was never rude to anyone.

No, the experience is not that similar. Because with the sleeve, you're far less likely to suffer from dumping syndrome. But thanks for your input.

Hope you’re feeling better I’m just getting over something from last week and it was bad my dr called in an antibiotic for me - and I consulted with my surgeon before taking he was ok with the antibiotic

My paperwork was submitted to my insurance 1/21/2020. On 1/23/2020 I got an email from my insurance letting me know I was approved. My surgeons office just got the paperwork today.

I was told when they submitted my paperwork to insurance that they have 15 days to approve. It took Humana less than a week. Good luck!

Congratulations! I know you are so Excited. Please keep me updated on your date for surgery.

I'm now scheduled for February 22nd. I have my prep 'll visit it on Monday and start the liquid diet next Saturday. Let the begin.
