I found out that I have this as well. Waiting to get into the GI specailist now..I heard that the pills are huge. I am sorry that you are taking them after ur surgery. Keep me posted

Hey forum family. Well everything is complete on my end. Everything has been sent into the insurance. I am currently awaiting my approval. Please keep me, along with everyone else who is awaiting, in your thoughts and prayers. I was told by my office that I should know something by the end of next week or the following week. I am keeping my fingers crossed!!! Thanks in Advance

I just saw this post. I pray that all went well. Let us know how you are doing. Congrats on your new beginning!!

Well put...nice

I love this post..lollololol

Congrats on your new beginning

Congrats to you and your new journey. Keep us posted.

Congrats to you...I myself am waiting on a date

Question, did anyone have a breast reduction and lift "Before" getting the sleeve? If so, how was your outcome? I know that a woman may drop down bra sizes after loosing the weight, but with this being done prior, did you even have anything after the fact? I am worryed that I won't have "NOTHING" after I drop the weight!!! lol

Your welcome. This journey is a long one but a much needed one. I will keep you posted. I myself have an appointment with the doctor on 11-9-11. After that visit, they will submit to insurance. So I am not going to be able to get my sleeve until the beginning on the year because they are already booked for Dec and the beginning on Jan. I don't mind the wait, I am just glad that I am getting it!!! I am claiming my approval. Make sure you keep us posted on your journey

It is going to all work out. Stop stressing about it all. Everything happens for a reason. If the job comes available, after being hired, let them know up front that you are scheduled for surgery soon. I look at all this as a blessing. You of course want the new beginning, and you are about to possibly start a new career. Dont look at it in a negative way. View it as all positives!!!!!!!!!! :Angel_anim:

Okay forum family, I went to get all of my tests done..the blood work, echo, and the swallow test. Well, the nurse at the Dr office called today saying that my blood test showed that I was H Pyloric???? The nurse explained to me what it was, concerning bacteria in my stomach that can cause ulcers...anyway, I have to go to the Gastric dr on next week....she says that I wont have anything to worry about, it is common that this is found, I will end up getting meds to clear it all up..wondering has anyone else experienced this? Sounds scarey to me!!! If anyone has, please share your experience.

Thank you for responding. I was worried of course. You hate to get this far and fail. Thank you again

You look great!!!! Thank you for the pictures. I love to see the before and after shots!!

Hey forum family. So I went to the nutritionist today. I have completed all of my weigh ins, my doctor has sent the office a letter of recommendation. I have my Upper GI and blood work scheduled. My issue is that I was told that I am not able to get my surgery this year due to them being all booked til the first of next year. Now I am going to have to pay a "HIGH" deductible due to insurance starting over in Jan. I really wanted it (the sleeve) done before the end of the year so that my fees were not that expensive. But I AM GOING TO CONTINUE ON. Its just a little bump in the road :frusty: :pout: Any one had to experience this yet? Overall, I am excited. I want it too bad not to pay whatever it is I have to pay, in order to get it. Please send any msgs you may have my way. I hope yall had a good day!!!!

Everything happens for a reason. I know that you maybe down due to your relationship with your husband, but try to focus on your new journey. U have alot of things that are going to come to you and the kids, in this new chapter of life. Look at it as shedding the old and embracing the new. One day at a time is all anyone can do. Stay positive and focused, even on the rough and tough days. And most importantly, congrats to you and your weight loss.

You are in my prayers. I know the feeling. I finished all of my testing on yesterday. Now I have to wait to see the doctor on Nov. 9th. So I am also praying that everything goes well. You pray for me and I will surely pray for you . I have a different insurance than you. So I am praying that things go well for us and everyone else who is waiting along with us.

You look great. Keep up the good work!!!!!! Congrats to you

Welcome to the forum. I do not have the sleeve yet. I am also a fairly new member. I guess I would have to say that you may want to try to refocus. Try doing other things that you may possibly enjoy so that you won't be "lurking in the kitchen". You will be okay. This website is very supportive. You will meet people that will help you get through this. Congrats on your new beginning.
