February 2022 Surgery Buddies
MimiX2 replied to MeganMyers's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im having mine the 23rd -
Hi! 😊 I am new here and just wanted to start somewhere! I am 3 weeks from my surgery! I am excited and a bit nervous! I am having the gastric sleeve. At my consultation on January 11th, I was 287 lbs. Today I am at 272 lbs. Just trying to lose as much weight as I can before the BIG DAY!!!!

Thank you all again so much! I have to admit, I’m getting nervous as these last 3 weeks are dwindling down… last night I was up late reading stories that kinda made me worry lol… some of my worries are: Dehydration from not being able to get the fluids in Pain (although I have a pretty high pain tolerance) Ending up with GERD

Sleeve_me_alone, I agree! It’s crazy all the hoops they make you jump just to deny you! I will say as these last few weeks dwindle closer to “go time”, I’m getting nervous!

Thank you SOOOO much!!!! I have been wanting this surgery for the last 13 years. Twice before I tried with insurance and was denied. So this time, it's self-pay. Im amazed at the difference between trying to go through insurance and self-paying.

How long from consult to surgery?
MimiX2 replied to liveaboard15's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is 6 weeks. I have 3 more of the 6 to go. And the only real reason is just because of scheduling. My surgery date is Feb. 23, 2022, it was the next available. -

My birthday is the 24th… the scheduler was like, “I wasn’t sure if you’d be wanting to spend your bday in the hospital… I was like, “Are you kidding? It’s my new birthday!” Lol -
My surgery is scheduled for Feb 23, 2022. My surgeon told me (when I saw him on Jan 11) to do keto until two days before my surgery and then it will be liquids.
