So quick update I just left my final NUT visit and my starting weight at the beginning of my program in May was 258. I gained 6 pounds by my August visit and they warned me that I needed to be under 258 by today's appt, because I have Aetna insurance and they wont approve me if I have a net gain. I followed through with my portion control and forced my way to the gym. Today's weigh in I am 254.5 pounds. So even if you do have mishaps and gain during your pre-op period just get back on track. Think about why you are doing this, and who you are doing this for. Maybe for yourself, your family, your future bikini . But make it up in your mind to stay focused no matter what the scale may say. We may get down but we are never defeated. I am proud of each and everyone of you guys. WOOOHHH HOOO Next Stop Pre Surgery Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me.

@@brandnewme2015 AMEN. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I havent been under 200 pounds since 9th grade. It feels so good to be dropping weight and learning how to eat healthy since my family never learned or even knew what that was I was always eating just because it was there. My mama was old school and cooked for an army at every meal. LOL but I am so grateful for my sleeve and although I am just shy of 4 weeks out I know that this is the start of the rest of my life. Blessings to anyone reading this thats considering the surgery. It will definitely change your life. Blessings to you all. -

I'm in Austin I was sleeved on Thursday Nov 5th. Everything is going well. First two days were toughest. Surgery was outpatient. I'm home sipping on broths soups water popsicle etc. They did a hernia repair and that keeps me with fits of hiccups but other than that I'm good. Walking a lot. Haven't taken any pain meds since Saturday morning. -
My gas pain has been unbearable at times. I was sleeved yesterday and the gas has been kicking my butt. I have been walling a ton. I sip as well but every time I sip I burp which is a little painful. Other wise I'm ok

You're supposed to get nervous: It's surgery. To keep calm as possible, leave a couple of simple preparations for the last two days so that you're occupied until you head out to the hospital. For example, on surgery morning, change the sheets. It's something to do and, if you want a nap when you get home, the bed will be fresh and crisp. Last-minute mind-occupiers should be at home only; get the shopping done by a couple of days before surgery.

Waiting on Aetna to Approve (How long did you wait)
acyum2008 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I am waiting patiently for Aetna to approve me. I have called everyday since last Thursday when the request was submitted and reluctantly the auth is still pending. I work in a medical office doing authorizations so I have checked as a provider and patient and still nothing. The nurse handling my case is out of the office today I dont want to be a bug a boo but darn it I am anxious. Surgery date is Oct 22nd and a second date of Oct 27 just in case. Anyone else waiting on Aetna?? Help a sista out.... I pray that they approve me after all of this. -
