I would bring a pillow for the drive home to hold against your stomach.

Never doing THAT again
DreaE replied to GotItDoneInHarlem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've done it as well & I thought I was going to die. I know dramatic, but honestly that's what it felt like. I just like you will NEVER do it again!! -
Tomorrow is my surgery day. I am no longer plagued with a cold. Now it's just a little bit of nerves & a bit of the wtf am I about to do?! Sigh, I have put so much thought into this process, why the second guesses now??
-
I had just one day of a preop diet & I still want to eat, I can't imagine more than one day of clear liquids with the appetite I have now.
-
I think my second guesses are only coming from the fact that everyone I talk to (no matter how supportive) are asking me; "are you sure you want to do this?" I have no reservations I just wish I would hear that question less lol Thank you for the support!

Were surgery twins! I don't think I will be able to fall asleep at all either. -
Top Secret: Who did you tell?
DreaE replied to w8loser's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I told everyone who would listen. I couldn't contain my excitement. I could care less what negative they think about me. I have thought so negative about myself for years that their opinions don't phase me. If it's positive though I pay attention to that lol -
My surgery is on the 20th so I will have a good 5 days before the sale by date is expired. Thanks for the recommendation to call them. That didn't even cross my mind.

I found premier protein shakes at my local dollar tree so I stocked up. Problem is I'm pre op & I will not have a long pre op diet. The sale by date is before I will be on regular liquids. Does anyone know if they can be frozen? Or if they are good after the sale by date?

Sick 6 days before surgery
DreaE replied to GotItDoneInHarlem's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having the same issue. I haven't had a cold in almost a year & now that I am a week away from surgery I am coming down with a cold. I hope you get better & have the all clear for surgery. My surgeon told me to call him the day before if my cold isn't gone. -
I think I am coming down with a cold & surgery is next Friday. Has anyone had surgery while being sick?

December 2013 Sleever Pounds Lost Log
DreaE replied to RunningA5K's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My weight goal to loose is 75lbs. Surgery is on Dec 20th. -
My surgery date is Dec. 20th. I meet with my surgeon & nutritionist on the 13th. With those dates being so close together I am glad that I will not have a lengthy pre op diet (if any) It feels like I have been waiting so long that having a date still doesn't feel real.
-
I am happy to say that I am finally approved. My reconsideration (first was denied) was submitted on 11/15. My insurance company finally approved it this past Monday. Now comes the task of waiting on a surgery date. I hope it happens before the end of the year.
-
Kind of expected this, but I'm still sad about it. The insurance company said that my surgeon can do a peer to peer review to try and get it overturned. I hope that works **fingers crossed**
-
Thanks for the reassurance. I do have comorbidities, I met all of the requirements. There just wasn't a letter from the referring doctor. I will have faith that it will get resolved with the peer to peer.
-
I am so glad I'm not alone. Every bit of down time the surgery is all I think about. I am waiting on my insurance approval (by Wednesday) and I feel I am going mad with anticipation.
-
I verified through my insurance that all of my information was received. They said I will know by next Wednesday the outcome. For those who have waited, what did you do to fill that time? I have a full time job, I'm a mom I have plenty to do. I just can NOT for the life of me get this pending approval off of my mind!
-
I am coming out of the woods now. I have found this site so very helpful. My surgeons office is submitting my paperwork for approval tomorrow & I am so excited that I want to shout it from the rooftops!! It has been a very long 4 months.
-
Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes. I think once I get a date I won't be able to contain myself, strangers on the street will know. lol
