I'm thinking about trying the Advocare 24 day challenge to detox my body but i'm a little scared because I don't know how it will affect me post op! If you've tried it can you please share your experience??? Thanks!!!

Are there any sleevers from North Ms or any part of Ms that has had the surgery or going to have the surgery...please share your experiences!!! Thanks

Hey Kim....congrats!!! If you have any questions about anything feel free to ask!!!

Soo glad to know that there are people my age who want to change their lives too...Im 25y/o and when I say Ive been fat all of my life im not exaggerating!!! Lol but I have always been outgoing and active in the public but have had my share or depressed amd tearful nights...Im praying that this tool will help me be a healthier Diva and give me a second chance at life!!! My paperwork was submitted to my primary insurance company (Cigna) and my secondary (BCBS) on March 14...I received approval from BCBS on March 21st and approval from Cigna on April 4th....Im sooo excited thursday is my bday and I meet with my surgeon to set my date!!! Cant wait to join the losers bench!!! If you haven't been approved yet just hang in there and dont give up because insurance companies love to give people the run around...its a strategy because they feel like eventually you'll get frustrated and give up!!! Keep calling and make them do their jobs because thats what you pay them for...to take care of you!!! CrimsonDiva CrimsonDiva

Congrats on your new journey...it gets better day by day!!!

Soo I just got my call from the hospital confirming that I need to be at the hospital at 5:30am because I'm first!!! Well I'm not going to lie I AM NERVOUS but hey God didn't bring me this far to leave me!!! CrimsonDiva

Hello everyone...im post op day 2...surgery went well didn't have a lot of pain just discomfort from the gas...I had great nurses who had me up and walking 4hrs after surgery...the doctor told me he was proud of me for how well my liver had shrank...yesterday I had to keep down 96 oz of fluids and walk 20 laps to be discharged...so by the grace of God I came home yesterday...haven't experienced any nausea yet but I have been sleeping a lot and trying to get these fluids in!!! I lost 14lbs pre-op so i'll weigh in again nxt week...the only thing I wish is that I could've brought the hospital bed home lol...but thanks for all your prayers and well wishes they're greatly appreciated...so continue to pray for a speedy revovery and ill keep you all posted!!! Im a sleever now!!! CrimsonDiva

Thanks soo much!!! CrimsonDiva

Thanks!!! Keep me in your thoughts and prayers!!! CrimsonDiva

Thanks and I will definitely keep you posted!!! Also congrats on your date!!! CrimsonDiva

Soo my surgery is Wednesday and I've lost 10lbs...I've been on a liquid diet for 12 days...I think I've done great considering I cheated a little but I'm kind of afraid that I haven't lost enough!!! The doctor didn't give me a specific amount to loose but Im nervous!!! Soo i'm just curious to see if 10lbs is a failure... CrimsonDiva

Good luck!!! CrimsonDiva

Hang in there chick...ur almost there!!! You can do it!!! CrimsonDiva

Congrats my date is April 24th too!!! CrimsonDiva

I have Cigna too...My paperwork was submitted on March 14...they let the paperwork sit around until my nurse called on April 2nd...then they opened my case for review and I called on April 5th and I was approved!!! But my secondary insurance is BCBS and I was approved in one week!!! I've heard many horror stories about Cigna so I guess I can't complain about how long it took to get approved!!! CrimsonDiva
