It's gonna be my 1st major surgery put under. I had my wisdom teeth out and went under fine for that. I also had a csection but was awake. It's just the thought of going under for some reason. I will definitely need something to calm me down before hand.

I haven't unfortunately. I'm anxiously waiting. Tommrow will make 1 week that I went. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

I was wondering if you ever got the surgery done and how long caresource took for your approval? I'm waiting to find out right now. The waiting is horrible lol

Rue 21 has pretty cute clothes. And affordable.

Thank you. And we should definitely meet up for lunch sometime. I would love to meet you guys. I actually have a friend who secretly got the sleeve done back in June. We went out to ihop without me knowing she had the surgery done. But after I brought it up about me getting it, she told me. She didn't eat much. She's lost a good amount of weight too. I also have another friend from school who just had a baby that had the sleeve done 2 years ago. She lost alot too. I'm pretty excited. I'm excited to be back to myself and have fun in life. I will be here for you guys too for any questions and help along the way. UC is so great though. Dr. Ivan is my favorite. He makes my day whenever I see him.

Well I did it. Last appointment was today! I lost another 2 pounds. Down 9 pounds since March. Ivan said it's gonna go by fast now as soon as they get the insurance approval. Hopefully something next week maybe. I will have 2 classes to take then talk to anesthesia. Can't even believe it.

Happy New years to you guys too. Even though it's not anymore but hopefully the year is going good so far. I have 4 more days left until my last appointment. I'm so nervous for some reason. It will be the same like the rest. I don't blame you for going with the 1st surgery date open. We have been waiting for awhile so it's definitely our time to get it done. It will be here before we know it though. I can't even believe it's 2016. I'm so over the cold too though. Do you guys have a support group on fb for the sleeve? I am with one and I love it. You can add me on fb if you want. Only members can add other friends. My name is Molly Fraley on there. It's a picture of me and my daughter. Where are you going in Florida? I'm so jealous!

How was everyone's christmas? My dad got me a gift card to Kohls for after I lose my weight. It was sweet and didn't expect it. He had the bypass back in 07. He said to just go to goodwill for awhile since we will be changing sizes so much.

All the goodies don't have to much longer to be around. Can't even believe it's almost christmas! Hope everyone is safe during this storm we are having tonight. I have 2 weeks until my last appointment! Can't even believe it. I'm so excited. Ivan says that it could be any where between 1 week to 45 days for our insurance to approve anyone. If your last appointment is in Feb then I would say your surgery would be in March. We have the 3 weeks before to go to 2 classes and talk to anesthesia.

How is everyone doing?

Not to much longer for you! My dad had his bypass in 07 there. I know exactly where it is. I also had a close friend have her sleeve there back in June.

My insurance requires me to go for 9 months. They are paying for the whole thing so that's fine by me lol. I've met with everyone I needed too. Just this last visit and it will be done until surgery time. It's good that you don't mind waiting the 6 months. Alot of people are upset by it. It helps with getting prepared though. I am definitely ready though. Just for the the nerves to be over with lol. We can definitely keep in touch and see what I go through and what everyone else does too. I'm hoping all of us have a good recovery. Thanks for all the good luck. You too when it's your time

Hi Claddagh66! We all are from Ohio. I'm from Cincinnati. We go to UC in West Chester. We all just chat with each other about what's going on since we all go to the same place. I'm sure May will be here before you know it. I've been doing the visits for 8 months now. Only 1 more to go! Probably having surgery in February. I can't even believe it. I know May seems like awhile away but honestly, the more you read people's experiences and gather information for your self, it makes you happy to wait a bit to see how's it gonna go down. I'm starting the freaking out part just a bit. Never had surgery before. Only c section.

Hi! I am with UC too don't have a surgery date yet but 1 more appointment then will be waiting to hear from them to schedule it. Uc is a great place.

I am 26. Probably having surgery sometime in February!

You can always go to a good will or something like that and not pay much. They don't have bad clothes. Walmart has pretty cheap jeans too. I don't blame you for being obsessed. It seems like forever away but yet time is going by. At least the holidays will be here so that makes it go by a bit faster. This cold weather sucks. We will.be freezing next year lol. My last appointment is Jan 6th. Can't even believe it. One more month. It freaks me out. That day, I will be anxious. I will be anxious all that month too until I get the call to schedule. It's just so nerve racking to think about.

Had my 8th visit with Ivan today. Went good as always. Lost 4 pounds some how. They weren't packed either surprisingly. How is everyone doing? I hope all is well.

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving too. I worked thursday night late and friday too for black friday. It was fine. My new job knows about my surgery and is fine with it since we slow down.

Good luck at your appointment monday. And I can understand why your jealous of everyone getting the surgery the day you were supposed too. Your ready for it and have been for a bit now. It's not fair. It will happen when it's supposed too though. Some things happen for a reason. As everyone always says it. Maybe we will be around the same date then when I get approved sometime in January I hope. I hope you have good news soon. It will be okay.

Hi! I don't have any updates really. I go Dec 2nd to see Ivan. That's my 8th out of 9th appointments so I'm patiently waiting. I just started a new job at Justice. I'm nervous about telling my manager about my surgery but we slow down after the holidays so I hope it's not a big deal. I'm thinking 3 weeks to take off. I just don't know how everything will go. I can't even believe December is coming so soon. I'm getting so nervous just thinking about surgery. I'm definitely going to need a relaxer before. The boot camp should help you lose some weight maybe? Are you supposed to lose any weight during the class? I couldn't ever do something like that. I give you major props!

I was told to stop a month before surgery since it can cause blood clots. Then like 2 weeks after or so, I can start again

My psych eval went great. She was really nice. I was in there maybe 15 mins if that. 2 more appointments with Ivan and I will be ready to go! How is everyone else doing?

That is horrible! It's good your better and hopefully it keeps getting better. I'm sorry your going through that. They should have your results by now but at least friday is 2 days away. Not to much longer

I got my clearance for cardio to do the surgery. My blood pressure was high but the stupid cuffs that are automatic always has my pressure up high because they hurt so bad. Now for Friday to be here so I can be done until Dec 2nd.

Bloomer, that is so funny. Totally true though! I didn't sleep with my husband for awhile since he snored so bad and I'm a light sleeper. But I take medicine for my ibs now so I sleep fine. I'm doing the cardio clearance today and then friday is the psych eval.
