work2do

I have off from work too. I still don't know my time yet, they are calling me after 3 to let me know. It is driving me crazy not knowing the time!!! I am bringing my cell so yes, I will log in as soon as I can. You do the same! It is wonderful to have someone going thru the exact same thing as you (at the same time)! By the way, my name is Laurel

I feel the same way. Let's do this already!

i wanted to bring my iPad but I am afraid it will grow legs and walk! Lol!

lucky for me I only have to do 1 day of clear liquids!

I am going to bring my phone so I can get on the internet too! I am afraid to bring my iPad though.

Hi and welcome to the 4/3 club lol! I am staying in the hospital for 1 night. I am in NJ. I am getting very nervous! I know this is the best decision and I have been working a long time to get here, but I get these panic thoughts of "what the heck are you doing". April 3rd, just get here already!!

congrats!!!! N

but at least this time you know it IS happening for sure!!!!

well We probably won't sleep much the night before anyway !

way to go!!!! One week from today, I will be sleeved! Do you have a date yet?

I won't know the time until the day before. I hope it isn't too early lol, I live an hour away from the hospital!

Coming down to the wire! One week from tomorrow . I got the final clearance from my PCP today....now waiting for the 3rd to come!!

I am way up in northwest NJ. Nice to meet you ! Looking forward for this journey. I am a bundle of emotions right now though, lol.

Congrats on your accomplishment! I am being Sleeved on April 3rd too! I hope I can say some amazing things this time next year as well!

Well you guys, I finally got my date! April 3rd ! So excited, happy, nervous and SCARED, lol . How are you 2 doing??? Let me know!!

Glad to meet you . I go tomorrow for my pre-op testing for the surgery. I am lucky, I only have to do my clear liquid diet on the day before surgery. I can't believe it is all happening in about 2 weeks!!! Yes, definitely stay in touch!!

Yes, I sure am! It's been a long ride, appt after appt, doctor after doctor, you know the drill! I am just so happy I was approved! I am so ready!!!

I was approved!!!!! It only took UHC 3 days (5 if you count the weekend). I could not take the wait much longer, lol! Sleeve date, 4/3. Losers bench here I come!!!!!

I got the word today. UHC approved me, surgery 4/3. I cannot wait!!!

Make room in that boat for me too please, lol. My paperwork was submitted yesterday as well! The waiting game is not a game I play well!! Good luck everyone and keep us posted!!

I also have UHC and go thru the Bariatric Resource Center. while you are waiting for your case worker to call, and it always takes days for them to call....... Call the Bariatric Resource Center again and just ask them to email the requirements to you. they do that within 10 minutes . I had them do that for 2013 and again in 2014 in case the requirements had changed. They will send the requirements that your company has mandated. good luck to your husband!!!

I went hunting for this and it appears to be a fast diet... 5 days normal eating & 2 days of fasting (500 calories). Here is a link that I found http://thefastdiet.co.uk/how-to-do-the-diet/

Looking for anyone that has had a trans nasal endoscopy. I have mine scheduled in a couple weeks. Getting nervous.

Had my Trans nasal Endoscopy this morning! It really went well! I made sure I was good and numb, thank you Sandi!! It was a strange feeling but tolerable for the few minutes it took. I am glad I went with the non anesthesia !

WAY TO GO!!! Keep it up and I bet you will be back to "spinning" soon!!! So happy for you:)
