I left my acrylics on. I had no problems.

Really good. On Monday I go to pureed foods. I seem to be on a weight stall and haven't lost any weight since Tuesday. That is very frustrating.

After the class in his office and the meeting with the Dietician and Psychologist (also the same day), that was it. I got my surgery date that very day. Well, I am counting the hours now.

Sherry I have one more questio for right now LOL
After your education class what were the next steps?
And why are the classes so long?
How soon did you get your surgery date?
OK well that was about 4 or 5 lol

Sherry thanks for reponding. I will be praying for you a speedy and peaceful recovery. Keep me posted on your progress. I will keep in touch.

No, I had Blue Cross. The process went so fast that I was unprepared. I went to the HFH Seminar in mid-May and then I filled out the info packet and mailed it in. I then went on vacation and schedule my consult for June 17th. That very day they scheduled my surgery for the 19th. The packed you get at the seminar has a prescription for bloodwork and that was it for me. On the day of the consult, I had my meeting with the Dietician and the psychologist and then at my pre-op testing last week, I had an EKG and more bloodwork. It all went really smoothly.
The insurance requirements for bariatric surgery was basically a BMI over 40 and a BMI over 50 for the sleeve. They have relaxed everything so much since I last checked 5 years ago.
The liquid diet has been challenging and I am quite emotional and scared...LOL.

Hi Sherry, I wanted to know if you have United Health Care for your insurance. IF so what was your requirements. I also wanted to know what kind of testing did you have to do? How long was the process. I attend the educational class August 3rd. I originally wanted to have the lap band until I start researching more and found that I really want the sleeve done.
Please keep in touch I would love to know how your journey comes along.

I am being sleeved on the 19th by Dr. Hendrick at HFH Wyandotte.
-
Thanks everyone. I will be in touch next week after it is over. I know I will have a lot of questions.

Intellectually, I know you are right. I just think it all happened so quickly, I haven't had a lot of time to process it. I went in for my consult on June 17th and surgery scheduled for July 19th. I immediately had to start a high protein diet and now am on a full liquid diet. My biggest worry is a leakage. I know it's not rational as the chance is very low.

My sleeve is scheduled for July 19th. I am scared. I guess I have spent too much time reading horror stories. I am so upset I have went from being excited to being scared. Please help reassure me.
