I drink the premier protein shakes.

Hey we are basically sleeve buddies! I was sleeved on 10/27, don't worry you got this! We all have our days some days I will get on the scale and it has it moved some days it days...I'm just trying to be patient and trust the process.

Hi Josallyn, Welcome! Congrats on your new upcoming journey! Well I went throughout a doctor that participates with West medical and all I needed was 3 month supervised diet (I did 6months just to be sure), a visit with psychiatrist, and a nutrition appointment, that's pretty much it and just trying to stay in the same weight bracket. Blue shield is fast for approval and they are efficient I will say that! Thank you I feel great! I'm down 25lbs but it's different getting use to eating and learning how much you can and can not eat. Overall I definitely feel like I made a great decision, how everything goes well for you!

So I'm fairly new to BP hello everyone! I'm in the process of trying to get approved for sleeve surgery by the end of this year, good news is my surgeons office sent off my information this past Friday bad news is now I gotta wait lol I have Blue Shield of California Does anyone know the average time they take to approve or deny?

Awesome! Hey Sleeve Buddy [emoji16][emoji41] Yeah same here I'm taking very small bites, had some good days and some bad ones! Can't wait to get in the gym and really work off this weight! Thank you and Congrats to you as well! [emoji6]

I was sleeved 10/27/17 I had my first post op appointment today. Thankfully everything is going well, I'm still on liquids till Saturday (so excited lol) and I had some gas pain which was my main issue post op and now it has traveled to my right shoulder the doctor said it will pass and is normal. I'm down 22lbs this far and walking 30mins daily. All is well! Hope everyone's journey goes well too!

I am in the US, California to be exact so my scheduled time is 11:30am Pacific standard time.

Fri-yay! Love it lol 10/27/17, definitely won't forget this date. Awesome that's so interesting well hope the best for you! We got this! 💪🏾

Well guys today is the day, in about 8hrs I'll be checking in at the hospital to have my surgery. I'm very anxious but also excited because I know this is life changing but I've never had any kind of operation before so it's scary for me. Best wishes to you all and the start of this new stage in our life !

Let me know how it goes, my date is today as well!

Hope all goes well! Keep us posted on everything your surgery is one day after mine, eeek! 😆

Yes! That's what I keep telling myself don't overthink things and know that the outcome will be worth it! Thank you, same to you!🙂

Hope all goes well!

Hopr hope all goes well, I'm gonna be in your spot in 3 days I'm so nervous 😩

Every time I feel like I'm getting somewhere I somehow am not, I get a call from my surgeons office last week saying his notes are not detailed enough for my insurance. I thought everything was cool because it had been submitted two weeks ago, been going at this process since February of this year. I had to wait till today as I'm writing this waiting in the waiting room because of course my doctor is only in the office twice a week. I woke up Sunday morning and just cried saying "I don't wanna be like this anymore" my husband comforted me and we prayed together. I still feel like this process is so long I'm starting to lose patience and hope like am I gonna finally get that call saying I'm approved and my surgery date. Need some encouragement!

💛💛💛

I'm 10/27, two more weeks to go!

I'm going to be in a wedding 4 weeks post op lol Maid of Honor [emoji846] I'm going to bring my own shakes and items so that I'm prepared and keep myself busy with the bride. She knows I'm having surgery and that's all that matters, I don't plan on touching dinner unless it's something extremely light.
