gia24 reacted to nicbug1974 in New here! Question for people with United Healthcare.
Wow! I can't believe they would try that on you! I have a nurse coordinator already, they gave me one when I called to say I was interested. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for no hold ups. Of course my surgeon's assistant/nurse is not very good at calling back or contacting me. But I've found ways around her, haha! Thanks for you info!

gia24 got a reaction from virgogirl96 in Arizona Surgeons
I am having my surgery at St. Luke's in PHX, with Dr. Juarez, Abdominal Surgeons is his practice and he works with Bridges AZ. Very good Dr. Spent a lot of time with me in my appointment with him, and it depends on your insurance requirements what you need to do. Unless you're paying cash. His office lays everything out for you, and they help you get everything in order to get you approved, but ultimately it's up to your insurance. My surgery is Aug 19th.

gia24 got a reaction from Dee White in August 2013 Roll Call
Yeah, I did Friday night. eggs topped with lf cheese. Couldn't help it. Was so dragging. But I'm not going to beat myself over it. Back on track and focused. I'm not a big eater, my problem is I don't eat normally and when I do its usually dinner, I don't like to eat by myself, I don't want people to look at me and judge me, so I usually eat with my family in my home. Which is bad, I know because it forces my body to store everything as fat. I still have a week and have committed to finish it out.

gia24 got a reaction from gamergirl in What a difference 6 days can make
Awesome post, I'm still pre-op, in the Kew liquid diet phase, surgery the 19th and trying to wrap my mind around everything. I have fear, but it's definitely gotten better. But it's good to see you're doing well after 6 days. Congratulations :-)

Fairly new to the site, but I am a 36 year old, happily married mother of 4, live in Mesa, AZ. I work, go to school, and know I need this surgery to save my life. I have sleep apnea, HB, and after all the requirements, I got my approval a few weeks ago. I start my 2 week liquid pre-op diet on Aug 5 after my pre-op testing, which requires me to fast so I won't officially get anything to eat or drink until after my testing. August 19th is my surgery date, and being performed by Dr. Juarez at St. Luke's in PHX and I'm excited and scared. I'm so ready for this new chapter in my life, I love this site, since I've only chosen to share with my husband, kids, 2 closest friends and favorite cousin, this site had helped me see others experiences and things to look for and avoid. I'm counting the days to be part of the sleeved family!

Honestly, I don't own a scale, I pray I'm losing something because it would suck not to, after going through the 2 week liquid pre-op diet, but won't know for sure until I check in on my surgery date.

I jokingly(well kind of) tell my husband, it took me 20 years to train him. I don't have the patience or desire to do it again.

Finished up day 3 of liquid pre-op diet. I'm so tired all the time. It sucks. Ugh. Can't wait to my surgery date August 19th.

gia24 reacted to 1gorgeousgodzilla in Anyone else getting sleeved in August?
Another 19th'er like me whoop whoop! It sounds like we are at nearly the same place with the pre op diet as well. I know it will be worth it, but it is tough going right now.

gia24 got a reaction from Dee White in August 2013 Roll Call
Day 1 of liquid diet down. didn't think I could do it. But I did. Been eating Jello and popsicles, lol so tomorrow buying apple juice, more jello and popsicles and more instant Breakfast. 12 more days of this and then day before surgery only clear liquids! I can do this...But don't want to! Lol

I know, it's so very real right now. I'm doing everything I need to for my sleeve. My stomach is a need, but I'm actually feeling calmer than I have in a few days. Everyone here at the hospital had been friendly and super sweet and encouraging, so that helps. Good luck Dee! Keep us posted, and I'll do the same!
