The Sleeve

16 dayssssss! Be my friend! :)

Hi guys!!!   I have a couple things to talk about...   1. My surgery is 16 days away!! (Jan 15) I'm so excited!! I can't wait!!! 2. I don't have to do a liquid diet... My doctor doesn't require it. I came up with a decision that I'm doing it anyways. I feel like with liquids in your bodily a couple days to a week before is safer. 3. Only a few people in my family know about my surgery... I need more support.. So please add me as a friend.. I want to hear all about your journeys! I need more support from everyone.   happy happy happy!!

I Need A Friend.

Hey everyone...   On November 16th it's my last dietitian visit. Last week I went to the heart doctor.. he said everything looks great. Today I went to the lung doctor he told me my lungs are perfect but he wants me to do this machine over night (at home) to monitor how I sleep. GREAT   I gained about over 20 pounds since I started this journey and feel really down about it. I should be getting surgery Dec/Jan. & I'm VERY excited!   Talk to meeee I want to hear your stories.

First Blog. Please Read.

Hey everyone (: My name is Tiffany and I am new to this site. I recently signed up for lapbandtalk.com. Today I went to my seminar and they mentioned the lapband, bypass, and the sleeve. I had my mind set that I wanted the lapband but now that I found out about the sleeve I'm interested. I wanted to write this post to hear about your journeys. Please let me know your journey whether you've got the sleeve or didn't. I would also love to hear more information about the sleeve, so tell me anything you know lol I look forward to reading them. Thank You (:

Important Please Help!

So guess what guys? I got the date to my surgery!!!!!   JANUARY 15TH! IM SUPER EXCITED!   but i have a very important question.....   the receptionist at my doctors told me i dont have to do a 2 week pre-liquid diet before surgery and i dont understand that when everyone else i know had to? Do you think i should contact the doctor again to make sure?   Have any of you never had to do a pre liquid diet?

Interesting......

Hello everyone!   I'm back on here!!!!!   I ran into a lot of trouble =/ .... As you know I started my whole program in Jan. 2012 then my third Dietitian appointment was in May ... A day before my 4th appointment the dietitian calls telling me my insurance is not going to pay her anymore!!! =O I was SOOO upset! So I called and went crazy on them letting them know they TOLD me It would ALL be covered!!!! I ended up getting a case worker and she set me up with a dietitian they pay for FINALLY!!!! I had my 4th dietitian appointment today!!!   I'm SO excited for surgery & should be having it .... maybe November? December?   QUESTION!!! : After you send your paperwork into the insurance company... how long will it take them to approve it????   I'd like to hear other peoples storiesss. Talk to meeee =] I need more supporters!!
