I'm so nervous as well. I'm a nurses assistant on med surg and lift a lot. My surgeon said 2wk out, 3 tops

This is my favorite thread yet!! Laid back humor yet the true facts.

I'm sept 16th!! I have a 2wk pre op liver reduction diet of protein shakes for meals and clear liquids in between!!

Hi!! I'm new to this forum but love reading into things and learning from others experience. I just got my call of Sept 16th!! They wanted to schedule for the end of August but I felt with becoming a college student this year it was best to be there for the 1st week of school!! I've been so nervous but now with a date I'm extra nervous.

Thanks so much!!

You can qualify for Medicaid based on your income bracket. For insurance your income can be higher then most and medicaid can be used a secondary insurance. The primary pays a large chunk and medicaid picks up what ever else is left. you may have very little left to pay. Also, i have friends that live in NYS that have had the sleeve done with having Medicaid. Not everyone has a supportive spouse, or some spouses are more scared then anything.

I'm having my surgery at sisters hospital in sept!! In live in a small town an hour and a half away
