  1. I finally scheduled my date for the sleeve and am super excited but nervous all at the same time. My pre-op diet will start 2 weeks before and I am cutting pop completely the week before that to avoid the hassle and the headaches. Anybody out there interested in being a small support group for each other that all have surgery scheduled on or close to the 5th feel free to PM me!!!
  2. I have found myself becoming more and more nervous as the dates becomes closer... I have an almost 2 year old son (2 in November) and he is over the 20 pound limit for lifting my Dr. has put in place for post surgery.... My husband is obviously 100% on board and will help as much as possible but there are times where I am home in the afternoon while he is still at work. Makes me worry that I might not be able to do things as simple as lifting him in and out of his carseat... I work full time so I am not going to be able to drop off and pick up from daycare without having to pick him up physically!?!?!

    August Sleevers Check In

    My surgery is scheduled for August 5th!!! 25/f/Kansas City so excited but so nervous!
  4. I love the response I am getting from everyone! So nice to not have to go through it alone! I am going to have my blood work done on Tuesday and should be receiving a call from the hospital to schedule my pre-op appointment! What kind of shakes are yall doin??? My FAVE Protein shake mix falls within the guidelines of whats aloud and they r the Body By Vi shakes! They are SO good!!!! I think it will be easier knowing I already like the shakes and can drink them no problem =)
  5. They approved me for 11k and the surgery is 12k (normally 15k but they r running a summer special) so we had to pay 1200 out of pocket -- not too terrible and my payments will be $262 a month
  6. I cosigned with my mother since our credit is lack luster I didn't wanna take any chances. And its actually super simple you just go to their site and apply and within 5 mins they tell u how much credit u are approved for! I was shocked by how fast it was.
  7. Yay!! That is very excited! I wasn't covered under insurance unfortunately which sucks but I did get approved for carecredit.com so I can make payments!
  8. Uggg I am doing the Body By Vi shakes twice a day and then they said I could do the small low cal meal. Slim fast shakes give me the worst indigestion!! I wish u the best!!! =)
  9. My pre-op starts the 22nd as well and it sounds similar! I can do a protein shake for breakfast and lunch and then like a weight watchers or lean cuisine meal for dinner!
  10. My surgery is also scheduled for August 5th!!! I am nervous but very excited at the same time!!! Feel free to PM me I would love to have someone to chat with that is going through the exact same stuff at the same time!!!
