I Want This Sleeve!

*Hmmm* Where do I start?? (FYI:This is my 1st blog *nervous* lol)   WLS siminar 3/5/12 I joined this website about a month ago after my first consult with my surgeon.On 3/29/12 I was so hyped to finally get the ball rolling because I am so excited to start my new life!! When he asked what surgery I was interested in I was so proud to say the lapband because I watched alot of youtube videos and joined the lapband website and was so set on that. Then he suggested that I should look into the sleeve. I was so shocked because I wasnt expecting that suggestion. So he told me I had a long ways until I had to make a final decision.He didnt pressure me whatsoever,He just wanted to me to look at this other option. So I went home and started to do more resarch on this sleeve.   Fast forward to today....I WANT THIS SLEEVE SO BADLY!!!!!! lol.Im so happy he opened up this idea of the sleeve.I never looked too much into the negatives of the band. Im also looking into the negatives of the sleeve.Yes Im worried about leaks. Yes I am still a little nervous that 85% will be cut off but the longevity in the success of the sleeve has overpowred the worries that I have..I cant deal with the band with all the fills/unfills.And because im 24 he said in my lifetime Im going to have to get the band replaced( For exapmle if I had implants.The silocone has to be replaced). I dont want to have to deal with that down the road.Plus what if my insurance 20yrs down the line doesnt cover it??Ill b so screwed. I hope to only have to go under the knife once.   Whats left to be done This month has been jammmed packed with so many appointments!! I have labs and my psyc eval tom and hopefully thatll be it. On Monday I had a sleep test done but of course they said itll take two weeks to find out if I have it. Hopefully I dont havr it.Plus thatll delay the surgery too. :-/ .Im really hoping to be sleeved by june bc I have a bday in july and would hate to have to spend it in the hosp or on a liquid diet .But if it happens that way so be it.   Getting super prepared Omgee Ive been so hype abt preparing for this surgery.I havent even submitted it to my insurance yet.lol.I brought the wls cookbook for dummies.Ive been buying sample packs of differnt kinds of protien shakes/broths. I brought weights,a sauna suit,n a pair size 6 jeans I hope to wear one day.lol.Im just losing patience until I get this date.lol   Ok lemme wrap this up.lol....It feels good to finally get enough courage to write a blog on this site.Now im ready to make friends,comment on other blogs,the whole 9.lol.   Thanks for reading guys.

Am I Dreaming? *pinches Self*

Last week I went to my surgeons office an was disappointed to find out all my test results weren't sent to his office yet. He then scheduled me two weeks later (5/10/12) to come in and then we would submit to insurance. I was so bummed (and even wrote a mini rant on here last week lol).   Then this morning I come home from work ( I work overnights) and I get a call from unfamilar number that wasnt stored in my phone but looked somewhat familair . I didnt want to answer but I did because I was so tired and was so close to lala land.I did answer. It was my doctor telling me I was APPROVED for surgery!!!!!!!!!! I almost dropped the phone in disbelief!! He submitted it to insurance after all (on 4/26) and got the call today that I was approved. What a fast turnaround time!!   After I hung up I started dancing around my room. All that huffing and puffing last week for nothing!! Im happy he did submit without me knowing because now I wont have to go through the stressful waiting period.   I go in on friday to get my date and my protein shakes to start my two week fast. Im so happy and excited now. Thank you bcbs.
