YAY!!! NINA!!!! Glad you are home and glad you are on the other side!!!! WOOT WOOT!! I hope you are feeling much better by now

Tomorrow will be a long day for me! I'm very excited and just want it to be Friday morning already. I know I won't be sleeping at all tomorrow night! I have class for 4 hours tomorrow night...so hopefully that will keep my mind occupied! Good luck Pepper!

Christine, 2 weeks is the usual time to hear from insurance, but likely earlier than that. You should have more than enough time to hear from them. Stay on top of it though. When I resubmitted for a different reason I called every week to check and see if they had received my OK. Good luck! Try to breath!

Good Luck Melly Mel! I'm so excited for you! You did great on pre op! I can't believe our days are here. I go day after tomorrow. I concentrating on one day at a time though so I don't get overwhelmed! I'm also taking a night class on tue/thur nights. So, one day at a time for me. Think I'll pack my bags when I get home from class Thur night! Try to get some sleep tonight! ((hugs)) We are almost on the other side! =)

Good Luck Sheila! I know you'll do great! Can't wait to hear from you! Sending you lots of happy healthy healing no pain vibes today! ((hugs))

Good Luck you all! I hope it is a smooth sailing day! Sending you all happy healthy healing no pain vibes! ((hugs))

Yes totally! After you finally get that approval time does almost stop...but then you forget and go on with your life and then all of a sudden your surgery is 3 days away (ah hem) and you are freaking out with how fast that happened! ((hugs)) It'll go faster than you think

You do look really young in your avatar picture. I probably can't get away with 20's but I can get away with 30 instead of 38. Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one with that thought!

I looked up on-line and the average stomach can hold 32 oz....but I'm sure mine is bigger..well at least before the pre op diet it was bigger!

that is really horrible! Can you not blame it on PMS water weight (assuming you are female). OMG! That is just not fair! You already acceded their expectations. Call and fight back! I hope you can remedy this and get what you want/need! NOT RIGHT!!!!

I haven't had my VSG surgery yet...but have had many surgeries. My advice is take it easy...even if you feel great don't do anything that the doc doesn't approve of. Say like vacuuming after a c-section because you feel all better at 3 weeks out. Take it easy....don't let yourself get over sore...use those pain meds. The worst pain after surgery I had was from becoming too tense because the doc would only give me ibuprofen. Lots of gentle walking to get that gas out. Sleep when you are sleepy! Good luck! I hope it is a breeze for you and for me on Friday! ((hugs))

I will love to hear that! I'm getting sleeved on Friday! It is almost here...I can't believe it. Good luck to you!

It'll be a breeze! You'll hardly feel anything!

I can't wait to hear!!! Good Luck! :D

So excited for you all! WOOT WOOT!!! I hope surgery is a breeze and no pain for you all!!!!!! ((hugs))

So sorry this is happening to you! It will happen...just try to distract yourself! I know it is very hard to be patient! ((hugs))

That is so GREAT!!!! Congratulations! I hope you continue to feel good. Just remember to take it slow....don't do too much even if you feel good. Don't want to pull something or bend a staple. Take it easy! I hope my surgery goes as smoothly on Friday! I can't wait to watch your ticker go down. ((hugs))

Good luck today you guys! I hope you are all done and having a pain free recovery!! ((hugs)) Happy, healthy, healing vibes coming all ya'lls way!

Good luck tomorrow everyone!!!!!!! WOOT WOOT...Only 4 days left for me! GULP!!!!!!

I go Friday and if I think about it too much....I freak out a little! But I'm also super excited about the future and losing weight for the last time! Kelli....hope your liquid diet is easy. It will be so worth it. I'm on a simi liquid diet since the 16th and it hasn't been too bad. I had about 4 days of withdrawl from soda but doing OK now. Good Luck everyone!

They are taking off this Friday...so they can do a bunch next friday...including MEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Uggggggg so sorry to hear about having to go back to the ER....That would make it hard to heal! Glad everything else is going well! Take care of yourself...can't wait to see all your updates!!!

Gatoraid2 or Poweraid Zero will also help with your energy. My nut told me just yesterday that it was the best thing to make you feel better after being sleeved and she also told me to make beef stew to blend for the second week. That sounds so much better to me than a lot of other things. I hope this helps. Good luck to you! Sip sip sip!!!! ((hugs))

Glad you are home and glad you DID wake up and also very glad you haven't had much pain! Time to heal and then ROCK THAT SLEEVE! ((hugs))

WOOT WOOT DIANE!!!!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!
