Hi all! I’m getting sleeved Monday morning and just wanna know how you all reacted to the anesthesia? I’m wondering if I’ll be saying crazy things like the YouTube videos lol.. my friend-coworker will be with me and I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to just have her wait until I’m out of recovery? Stupid question, I know. Trying to keep my anxiety down [emoji854]

A new stylish wardrobe! I have been helping my straight sized friends find cute & affordable outfits for years, while plus sized clothing was/is so expensive. Can’t wait to shop anywhere!

Are you going home today?

You’re probably right. Thank you!

I was a crying little baby yesterday! So dramatic lol. I’ve never experienced labor pains so I must say yesterday was one of the most painful days of my life. Today is better though so I’m sure tomorrow will be a little better & so on. I regretted it yesterday but now I’m feeling okay! So sick of broth though. Not that I wanna take anything down anyway haha

So glad you did well!!

I had bad nausea and terrible pain yesterday all day, but now I’m only nauseous when I sip water. I’m gna get up and walk in a little bit so I’m sure I’m going home too. Congrats! Glad to hear you’re doing well

Hey everyone, how did it go? I had terrible pain yesterday but now it’s just soreness. Was up walking yesterday afternoon & last night and will walk again in a little bit. Congratulations to us all! [emoji175]

Can’t wait to talk to y’all on the other side!

I’m also tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

Best of luck to you!! I’m also going in tomorrow and nervous doesn’t quite cover it. You’re right though, we got this! Wishing you excellent results and a speedy recovery! [emoji4]

Thank you! [emoji175]

Lol! Totally sounds like it could be me. Thanks for the reassurance!

I’m going in for the sleeve at 9a on Monday as well! We’ll do great!

My surgeon didn’t require a liquid diet. Monday is my day though! [emoji33]

LOL. You are hilarious! Thank you for the reassurance. I’m psyched now! [emoji847]

Aside from my upper endoscopy, I’ve actually never been under anesthesia so I hope I don’t react negatively to it! I’ll take giggly any day though lol. Thank you so much!

Phew! I’m hoping after waking up that I won’t be a oversharing weirdo until it wears off. Lol. Thank you so much! I’m really excited [emoji4]

I’m being sleeved Monday 12/18, could totally use buddies! [emoji177]

I went to my surgeon’s ‘pre-op class’ tonight and he told us we didn’t have to do the liver shrinking diet, just a light diet the day before. Has anyone heard similar information?

I got approved!!!!! Two weeks from today I’ll be a sleeved mama [emoji24][emoji1487]

Hi everyone! I have BC/BS managed under carefirst administrators. When I met with my surgeon’s insurance specialist, I was advised that I didn’t have a 3 or 6 month nutritionist requirement, instead that I just had to get an upper endoscopy, psych evaluation, sleep study, nutritional evaluation and letter of medical necessity. I did all of that really quickly because for deductible purposes, I wanted to have the surgery done this calendar year. My coworker also started the process soon I finished everything and was advised that she had to see a NUT for 6 months. My paperwork was submitted to the insurance company yesterday so I’m hoping to hear from them early next week [with an approval!] but now I’m having a minor [read: major, monumental even] freak out because I obvs don’t have enough time to meet those requirements and have the surgery before year end. Basically, I just need some positive energy that will assure everything will work out okay! I’m so ready to have the surgery done and officially be a part of the losing team. I wouldn’t be devastated if I don’t get approved but it would definitely suck. I did reach out to my insurance company after speaking to the specialist in the beginning and these are the requirements they sent me: 1. Requires diagnosis of Obesity (BMI over 30). 2. If BMI is under 40 then a comorbidity is required (hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, heart failure, obstructive sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux disease) is required. 3. The member must have a documented history of participation in a supervised weight loss program. 4. The member must be unable to lose weight despite sincere attempt. 5. They can’t have any active peptic ulcer disease or gastritis. Or evaluated and treated. 6. Endocrine (thyroid) can not be the cause of the obesity. 7. No alcohol or drug addiction or greater than 1 year since last used. 8. No cigarette smoking or smoke free for . 6 weeks. 9. No history of psychiatric disorder or disorder is managed. 10. Must have a dietary consultation. 11. Member understands surgical procedure, post compliance and follow up care. 12. The procedure must be done in a bariatric center. Nothing about 6 month nutritionist visits but.. idk. Maybe I’m freaking myself out. Anyway, thanks for reading!

Such reassurance. Thank you so much for sharing! My surgeon scheduled me for 12/18 so I’m hoping for approval, not denial for missing nutritionist visits. I talked to my insurance company this morning who said I should have an answer on Monday [emoji15] please cross your fingers and toes for me! Lol

Thanks love! I’m hoping it’ll double as a Christmas and birthday present because that’s on 12/11!

I’m freaking out, but you’re right- we’ll do great! Good luck to you as well [emoji847]
