Any June Sleevers!?!
starfishwish replied to Bodybysleeve's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just got my date of June 2 today [emoji846] -
Feeling Frustrated...
starfishwish replied to starfishwish's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is just what I did. But as of now, I'm in for June 23. They claim to have nothing available sooner. I'm really disappointed to be most likely doing this without my husband, and with minimal help with my 3 kids. This adds an additional stress, and not mention 2 more months to the 7 months of insurance hoops I've gone through. I should be happy today, but instead I just feel like I need to "get through" it. -

I'm going to give the "scheduler" a call today. Hopefully they can accommodate me. -

What's your Pre-Op To Dos?
starfishwish replied to Kaylalala's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm going to prepare some freezer meals for my family so that my husband doesn't have to cook every night. I have 3 children so they'll all need to eat while I drink and recover. -

Good luck to you. You definitely deserve a do over. I'll be thinking of you [emoji173]️ -
I have my last weigh in today. I'll be given a tentative date pending ins approval. I am BMI 38 with several "comorbidities"

Low BMI and Gastric sleeve
starfishwish replied to Puppy200101's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am BMI 38, but with several comorbidities. Although I can't give you the info you're looking for, my surgeon says I am an excellent candidate and I will be scheduling my surgery today. I wish you luck! -
It's official, I was approved in 3 days!
starfishwish replied to Rita48's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had to do 6 months of "documented, non surgical weight loss efforts" So basically 6 months of monthly weigh ins. -
Moving along
starfishwish replied to momof2littleones's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wear mine every night. My dr cracks up when I go for follow ups bc my data shows 100% compliance, and he says nobody has 100% [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] He also said that based on that, he knows I'll do well complying with my weight loss surgery guidelines -
Seriously a whole month of nothing
starfishwish replied to chynadoll619's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Who are you telling (pre-op)?
starfishwish replied to Arthur Dent's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've told my mom and obviously my husband knows. That's all. It's nobody's business but my own. -
Seriously a whole month of nothing
starfishwish replied to chynadoll619's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omg. I'd be like a lunatic. They know you've been through months of insurance hoops already. [emoji30] -
Almost there....

If you don't like "shakes" try the syntrax nectar. I bought the variety pack to try them all. Flavors like lemonade, iced tea, fuzzy navel. They aren't creamy, more like a regular beverage. I mix them with ice and water, they are 100 calories, sugar free and 23g protein. I'm pre op and just giving them a try to see what I like, and so far, so good. [emoji1303]

Endoscopy Biopsy
starfishwish replied to Kris_Aloha's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was biopsied as well, and had my follow up on Friday. all is good. [emoji4] -
That's what I'm saying! [emoji23]

First time anesthesia tomorrow!
starfishwish replied to Kris_Aloha's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was nervous for the endoscopy, but it was so quick. They sedate you, it's a different drug than a surgical anesthesia. I worried for nothing. The hardest part for me was being hungry and thirsty because my appointment was at 3:45 in the afternoon -
I have to do full liquid for 7 days pre op. I'm kind of looking forward to it.

How long did it take to hear back from your psychologist?
starfishwish replied to MSinger's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same with me. He told me at the end of my appointment that I was cleared and that he would send my clearance over to my surgeon that night -
What is that one thing you look forward to so much, post op?
starfishwish replied to Kris_Aloha's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm tired of being tired. Hoping substantial weight loss and healthy habits help!- 112 replies

You sound like me. How much did you have to lose total? But I was diagnosed hypothyroidism at 16, nearly 30 years ago. I'm an under 40 BMI, so I'm curious about how much you lost in those 2.5 months [emoji4]

What do you mean by more damage?
