Thanks you guys. I'm very aware of how ridiculous my anxiety makes me think, and how much it makes me act like a fool lol. I think it'd be easier if I was oblivious and just thought my crazy reactions were normal I really appreciate your words. I've done 6 months of pre-op stuff and months of researching before that, I know I want and more importantly NEED this, it's just scary. Oh well, between Xanax and stress induced sleeping I think Monday will be here and gone before I know it

It's similar but more sleeve specific from everything I've gathered on here the pouch test is for a rny pouch. But boot camp is aimed to get back some restriction

I had Anthem and called them Monday morning and they had just received my info for review. My came in my BDR Monday AFTERNOON and said they wanted to do my surgery THURSDAY! That was too soon so they scheduled it for next Wednesday, which has now been rescheduled to MONDAY morning :/ so after my last NUT appt to my approval was 2 business days. good luck! Keep us informed

Well I was the 21st but they bumped me up to Monday so tonight is my last night of solids. Clear liquid starting when I wake up. I'm scared to death lol but really excited for a month from now when I'm hopefully out of clear liquids

You'll have to search the site for it. I can't link it from my cell.

Anyone else have an itchy scalp after taking their biotin? I've only taken it for a week and my hea has been itching like CRAZY for 3 days. I haven't changed shampoos or anything, it's driving me crazy? Thoughts, advice, similar situations?

Woo! I'm not the only one

Listen to Doxie, I'm not sleeved yet but people on here SWEAR by Diva's boot camp

And I just read over this again, you won't get a DS with a decent surgeon when your BMi is so low, OP. I've got a BMI of 48 and still don't weigh enough for the switch.

One month smoke free and surgery next week!

When's your surgery date? Mine's the 21st and I've been asking my fiancé repeatedly how his catheter was (he had brain surgery.) It wasn't bad according to him, but he did pee on the nurse when it was being removed. I think you and Mr.Happy will be just fine

I'm the 21st. Happy Thanksgiving to me! Glad to see all you girls here

I'm the 21st, too! My mom and fiancé and I are having our thanksgiving this Saturday it's my last meal lol. People think I'm crazy for picking the day before thanksgiving but I want to already have my new stomach to be thankful for

My surgery is the 21st and the excitement of approval is still fresh in my mind. Congrats!!

Front and center fellow newbs! Our time is so close! What's your fear? Your biggest victory so far? Your stats? Your story? Whatcha taking to the hospital? How's your pre-op going? Here's your chance to tell all or just listen. We all will share a rebirthday! I was offered surgery this Thursday, but turned it down mainly because I want to reflect on every Thanksgiving as a day to remember

Are you referring to the drops? Because the ones I've seen are sublingual drops. But I'll stick with my peppermint sublingual tabs for now

21st here

Yay for us!!

I'm scheduled for the 21st and have agreed to answer any and all questions as soon as my fiancé sees me in recovery. So ask away about anything!

hair health and growth how you treat your hair a couple weeks before surgery and right after have a lot to do with your impending hair loss

I did! And I'll be sure to answer it in my post op stupor
