so afraid my sleeve will stretch
glassido2458 replied to Brielle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
that same thing happens to me and I am four months out. When I get that feeling, I know it's not hunger (even though that's what I used to tell myself). What I do is drink something (water, crystal light, diet green tea, etc.). It helps. -

I'm gettin sleeved on Oct. 8th!! I'm nervous and excited. I have been doing really well on my pre-op diet. My doc asked me to loose 5-10 lbs and I managed to loose 7 lbs...it's been hard but worth it!

my surgery is 10/8 and aetna approved me in 1 week. Had carefirst during my 6 month documentation and then my job switched insurance companies but Aetna again in 1 week approved me. -
you are too funny! I know how that is [forgetting your vitamins]. I had to set my clock on my cell to remind me to eat every 3 hours and my pills. it seems to work for now LOL.
my insurance company says i have to have a bmi of 50.0 or higher to have the sleeve surgery and my first appt, my bmi was 50.0! so my doctor did not put me on a diet weight-loss plan yet. i go for my pre-op appt next week yippie!!!!!!!!!!! i will find out more then. i think i should be ready for surgery late aug/early sept [fingers crossed]. i've done all the pre-op requirements and testing so the only thing that will hold me up is my labs. i am deficient in vit-D, protein, and iron. so i am working on all of that
i lke that wii fit, that's what i do. i've been overweight since 8 so i don't remember being smaller. i remember being smaller than this but it was always overweight ya know! -
hey Stlvoy02! congrats on your surgery! i have so bad about visiting this site. I don't think i've been on here since i sent you that message! CONGRATS!!!!! I see you have already lost 55 LBS!!! that's great. how has it been for you? tell me everything. I am having some issues now with my protein, iron and vitamin D levels being too low...so low, my surgeon put me on a Rx iron pill, up'd my vitamin d and asked me to eat 115 grams of protein PER DAY. if these levels don't increase, i don't get surgery
so fill me in on you! I promise to try and be better about visiting this site.

Hi Stlvoy02. I am so hopeful reading your story. My journey just began. I have met with my surgeon and started my documentation process. I wish you success on 4/19 and hope that I will be where you are in a few months!

Hi Ms. IGOTFINEIN09 (I love that name by the way). I am starting my journey now. I just met with my surgeon on Friday and I am excited and nervous. I currently weigh 300 lbs and am so anxious about the unknown. Can you share your story with me a little. How did you handle telling folks or not telling folks about what you were planning on doing. I am struggling with that now. My surgeon said that I have to maintain my current weight until 1 month prior to the surgery or by my insurance guidelines, I will become ineligible if I loose 1 pound. My BMI has to be 50+ and mine is currently 50.5. I am planning on having surgery in July when my new vacation cycle kicks in. How long were you out of work for the surgery? I have lots of questions...so please keep in touch.
Thanks!
