Thanks so much for the feedback ladies! So sorry for the confusion,but I actually meant the Nut. Eval as in the Nutritionist! Sorry!! =( Any feedback on that?

Thank you so much! Good luck to you as well! I haven't completed ANY testing! It is all through my surgeons office, so they like to wait until after the seminar and then get started rigth away. I knew I hade the seminar tonight but I didn't expect them to call me yesterday and schedule the consult. =)) I was told by my surgeons office that all my insurance requires is recent bloodwok,psych eval and nut eval. Hope it's true!

Sorry I'm, pre-op so I don't have an answer..but I was wondering if this "meeting with your surgeon" appt is your consultation? Bc mine is Friday and I am wondering if they will give me a surgery date. Also,what all have you done as far as requirements and doctor appts? Good luck and I hope you get a date soon!

Sounds like after all the my c-sections! My first BM was very painful. And gas too

Eeeeeewie!!! I didn't I would lose hair! Ugh....my hair...O well, at least I will be healthier

Hey GetInMyBelly,hope you are feeling well!!!

I have the EXACT same fears,except the Christmas one. lol I'm most scared of not waking up,bad complications and the extra skin.

Thank you and good luck to you!!!

Girl I'm right there with ya!!! lol! I am expecting to have the sleeve done by Dec or Jan so we may have close surgery dates!

Thank you! That was very detailed and informative!!!

Girl what insurance do you have!? lol. Thank you for the info. I just switched to Anthem Blue Cross and they are not hard to get approval from either. Just have to visit dietician,psych,then get pre op!!

Awesome! 3 months is not that long!! It's nuts bc time feels like it is.......draggin......along.........lol. But really I just started this whole process at the beginning of Oct!! lol

Very informative! Thank you! And good luck to you!! I bet you are very excited!!!!

O WOW! Nevermind the misinforming details. The comments have me SO VERY heated! People can be so cruel!! Ugh,thanks for sharing the link though, very informative and gives insight as to what "other people" think of this surgery. Oh and basically having your stomach stapled to reduce size is SOOO radical,but having your intestines re routed aren't?!?! People are nuts..

Eeek,pulled stitch sounds painful! GetInMyBelly-When do u go back to the dr? Have u ever had a c-section? I was thinking if I can survive 3 c-sections,one an emergency,I can handle the pain of this but idk?? Hope u are getting rest,hang in there,you're doin a great job!!!! And thank you for all the updates,very informative!! :smile1:

Hang in there! ((HUGS))

OMG I hope you're feeling better by now! All I can say is WOW! I am so friggin scared now!!!!!

That sounds so awesome!! Good luck at your consult! My older sis had gastric bypass in 08 and it didn't go too well. One of the reasons I started looking into the sleeve...I have been trying to get my other sis to get on board with me but she is scared!

Good luck to you!!!!

Omgosh!! 14 days for you "Longer-life" How exciting!!!

This thread was very informative! Thanks guys,I will def be using this advice after I get sleeved!

Oh my goodness,that seems SOOO fast! WOW!!! I can only hope my process starts taking off after I attend the seminar!!! I live in a fairl high populated place and they seem to schedule out pretty far. For instance,I went ahead and scheduled my nut appt with my surgeons office and I couldn't get in till the 26th of November! Uck!!

You are so welcome! I am actually in the process of switching insurance companies to Anthem Blue Cross and no I don't have to have the 6 month supervised diet. Just a statement that I have diet before and details on that. I just started the process back in the beginning of October when I told my doctor that I wanted to have the sleeve done. Then I called and scheduled the seminar so I am waiting on that!! My surgeons office informed me that once I attend the seminar,things will get rolling rather quickly. The rule is,seminar first,everything else after! When did your paperwork get submitted for approval??
