Teenee Me

Hi! I started this process in May. After crossing off all the requirements, my insurance took over a month to approve me. But now I have a date! I visit my NUT tomorrow for pre-op consultation. liquid diet starts next Tuesday and surgery on Oct. 8th! It's awesome that your journey has moved along a lot quicker. I look forward to hearing about you, sleeve sister!

I'm replying to every thread-my date is October 8th!

Oct. 8th!

I'm October 8th!! Yay!

This is my biggest fear. I start my liquid diet next week.

Yay! My pre-op appointment is on Thursday too. I start my liquid diet on the 24th and will have surgery on the 8th. I'm looking forward to hearing about your journey!

Insurance approved my surgery today. I'm so excited even though I don't have a surgery date yet. Next time you hear from me will be when I get my date! Woohoo!

October 8th is my date!! So excited!

October 8th!

Got my date!!! October 8th!

Cannot wait for that! Congratulations!

Never heard that before but will definitely try it when the time comes. Thanks for sharing!

Can't wait to post pictures like this! Great job!

Awesome!

I've been giving this so much thought over the last few months. And I've run scenarios in my head about how tell people and also, who to tell. I never thought about it from this perspective. I'm doing this for me and my health; there is absolutely nothing of which to be ashamed or embarrassed. Thank you for this post.

Wow!

You look great!

I was also thinking that I can't wait. Hopefully I'll be sleeved next month and posting pictures like this soon!

You look amazing!

Hi, I had Mirena in for a couple of years but due to fibroids that caused extremely heavy bleeding and clotting, I expelled it. (Not a pleasant experience, horrible cramping.). Then my doc put in Essure. It's these little coils that go in your tubes. Then after that I had a uterine ablation. It's been two years since that procedure, I spot for a day or two monthly. It's awesome! By the way, I'm just starting this sleeve journey. I'm going through all the preop items/appointments. Have been lurking and learning loads from all of you for the last month or so.

You look great!

Yay! Congratulations!

Hi, I'm no expert but my doc says he won't put any more bands in. He does bypass or sleeve only. Says its because he's done too many band to sleeve revisions over the years.
