Hi all, I am scheduled to be sleeved on wed the 10th and woke up this morning with a slight sore throat. I am freaking out right now that I am going to really get sick and won't be able to have the surgery. I plan on calling first thing tomorrow they said to let them know about any high fever or cough but I don't want to chance anything!

Can anyone who is a member already add me? I haven't gotten a response to my pm. Gina4580@Yahoo.com

Hi all, I am scheduled to be sleeved on wed the 10th and woke up this morning with a slight sore throat. I am freaking out right now that I am going to really get sick and won't be able to have the surgery.

I am both excited and nervous. Most of the nerves are because I have two babies that I need to be there for but I am confident in dr chand and the staff at loyola and I have been told over and ove r that I am super healthy for a fat person so I know I will be ok. I do def get worried about not eating the same way but then I stop and think about all of the things I can't do now that I can replace my food addiction with. Like taking my kids to a water park or shopping in any store I want or anything I was embarrassed to even try cuz I'm so heavy. And I know that eventually I will be able to eat the things I love again only much less of them and still feel satisfied. I know it's going to be a struggle to align my brain and stomach but I am so ready!

Hmm that's crazy I would keep on them just call every day. I had to do that with hinsdale hospital for some records I needed. Call Dr chands office and leave a message for katie instead of the front desk girls, maybe she will have better luck getting the results. Its been way longer than appropriate the sleep study dept HAS to have read them by now

Oh I also don't have any comorbidities but at 5'4 255 my bmi is 44 so my insurance BCBS IL didn't give me any problems at all

I didn't have any problems getting things submitted. I had the sleep study right at loyola and didn't have any delays with getting results. I did have a test at gottleib that they couldn't find in the computer for a couple days but no other issues. I had approval from my ins in less than a week. Where did you have your sleep study done?

I will be having my sleeve done on April 10th with Dr. Chand. I am excited and nervous as well, I know that loyola is a great hospital and trust that he is the best surgeon for me

I am scheduled for April 10th at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago with Dr Bipan Chand. I just signed up for this site today and am excited to explore it and learn from everyone!
