Dec 29th sleevers ?
PaulaleeB replied to aHealthierMe121714's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My pre-op was I protein shake meal replacement with lean protein and steamed veggies. But I have restricted my eating to practice for post-op. I have lost 10 lbs and tomorrow I'm two days from sleeping. Liquids only. I'm as ready as I can be. -
I'm not Muslim but I just wanted to say good luck on your journey. Be well Paula

Lying about what type of surgery..
PaulaleeB replied to Bubsen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I agree with most others. Tell them it's personal, it's surgery and you don't care to talk about it. End of story. If someone presses you just kindly restate, "it's personal and I really appreciate that you will understand if I choose not to talk about it. ".then walk away. Let them think what they want. As we say in my first language, "It's none of their bee's wax". Good luck. Be happy. -
Born in Massachusetts . Armenian descent. Moved to Los Angeles. CA with family when I was 12. Moved to Colorado when my heart was broken by a scoundrel. Back to CA to live closer to family. Northern CA this time.Yay! Met the love of my life, married, and moved to Houston Texas. Uck Husband was transferred to La Quinta, CA, near Palm Springs. Yippee!! Husband hated job, dumped promotion, went back to running trains had to head back to Texas. Oh God, not Tx again,!!! We retired, picked up our pugs, and moved back to La Quinta , CA . Finally My next move will be to one-der-land. You know that place where my weight is in the one hundreds-135 to be exact. Peace out.

My PCP is having cold feet
PaulaleeB replied to Sleeve_Sistah85's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is impossible for anyone to know you won't make it. You will grab this opportunity and make the most of your surgery. You know what is in your heart even if you have doubts. 2 lb s gained in the big picture aren't squat. I have gained or lost those same 2lbs a100 times. But on the 30th I'm getting sleeved. Be strong. I'm with you! N -
Dec 29th sleevers ?
PaulaleeB replied to aHealthierMe121714's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Going to a work Christmas party tonight. I actually work at a cooking school so I'm sure the food will be fabulous. I've made an old Armenian family recipe but I've eaten my fair share of these through the years. Surprisingly I'm not worried about indulging. I'm days away from surgery and for today I am strong. -

Disappointed insurance denied
PaulaleeB replied to Mz. NuNu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My insurance dragged their feet for 6 months. Then I found out that the customer service rep from my health insurance co . Was giving my Dr.s office MISIN formation. !!!! So, before you give up, find out if the person fr your insurance co is giving accurate info regarding your policy. Just saying and good luck. -
My surgery is on Dec 30. Nervous? Yes, and more yes.

What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
PaulaleeB replied to bigjoe102's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm 63 and if not now when? I feel my health has been skating along on the luck of my good familial genes. But last May I watched my dear friend, who was only 53, die of diabetes. That is one cruel ugly disease. Anyway I have suffered with my obesity for over 35 yrs. I'm ready and on Dec. 30 my new life will begin. Hold on to your hats, it's going to be a rocky ride. And good luck to you dear reader, on your path as well.
