Congrats on getting approved!

I realize everyone has different comfort levels in how much they like to share with people about their surgery. I have a few friends at work that I have told but I don't want to broadcast it to my entire company and am not sure if I want to tell my manager the specifics. What reason (if any) did you give for your absence from work?

Welcome! I'm being sleeved on November 6th

I am dreading the caffeine withdrawal so I am putting it off until I need to when I start my 2 week pre-op diet. Trips are always harder to be good with all of the extra food temptation but at least you will still be able to eat while you are in Disney. Have a great trip!

Hello and welcome! I am scheduled to be sleeved in November. As pp's have suggested, definitely check with your surgeon to see when you'd be clear to be adjusted. Even after you're cleared it might still be uncomfortable to lay on your stomach but your chiropractor should be able to improvise

Hi Paddyski! I just went to a Pre-op class last night and it's feeling more real to me now and more scary too since there was a lot of discussion about the hospital and avoiding complications after surgery. So now I am feeling a little more scared but I just keep reminding myself that I am meant to have this surgery and it'll be worth it

My insurance covers either 80% or 85% of the total cost so I have been able to get an idea of what I will owe but I am hoping that somehow my insurance company will say, "Just kidding-we'll cover it all" Oh well, I think I'll get the amount when I meet with the surgeon in 2 weeks

Congrats! I was worried my doctor wouldn't be supportive either but she surprised me! Good luck! -
Congrats on getting your date! I can't offer much advice since I just got my date (November 6th) a few weeks ago myself but I can recommend staying on these forums because they are helpful and supportive,

Sounds like a plan

I'm sorry to hear that you had a rough start but am glad that you are getting better

Hello and welcome! I am being sleeved on November 6th

Yes, this too!

I hear you about bending over to tie shoes and also being more active and having energy to do things with my husband and daughter. That is the one thing that keeps me determined-I am doing this so I can be around longer to grow old with my husband and be there as long as I can for my daughter

Approved for Surgery & Need Suggestions for Liquids!
megolego replied to JessieGrace319's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats on getting approved and scheduling your surgery! I'm not scheduled until November so I can't give you advice on the pre-op diet yet but I know people often recommend the Premier protein shakes and you can get them on Amazon, wholesale clubs, and in grocery stores. Good luck as you prepare for your surgery and may you have speedy recovery
