I'm april too - the 13th. Obviously i am not superstious, lol. I'm 5'9 and have to stay in 270 range until day of surgery because aetna/ins won't approve me for vsg if I'm below a 40 bmi day of surgery. Look forward to hearing how all the April sleevers do . I can't wait to be healthy again - will never be tiny I'm too tall, lol

I am still preop but the doctor I have said they do the leak test while I am still under anesthesia so they can fix it if necessary

Wow I hope I recover as fast as you! Can't wait to see how u progress - one month to go for me I agree the boards are super helpful - I've found all sorts of info here that the doctors barely touched on. -

Surgery Date 03/14/12
ThisTimeIsIt replied to isntsheclever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
not a surgery date buddy (I'm 4/13) but I feel you about nervousness - I have thought a few times maybe I shouldn't do it or should have a different doctor but then i remind myself how much this will help me feel better and what I look forward to the most in losing weight and gaining health and I know I made the right decision! -
Can anyone recommend a primary care physician in Vegas? I am approved for surgery on 4-13 ((yeah)) but my PCP doesn't agree with WLS and said to rejoin WW. Needless to say I would like to find a PCP that supports WLS to do my follow ups with as I am going thru with the surgery on 4/13. The surgery center does some follow ups I know but I still need a new PCP. Thank u in advance!!!

Thanks For the recommendations - I will def look into them will def need a new PCP come April lol I am going thru Oband surgery center - quite a few ladies here at work went thru them for the sleeve with no complications and they have very low out of pocket expenses (most of it was covered by my ins) otherwise I don't think I could afford the surgery.
