    Insurance approval

    I too and done with my last nutrition appt on Tuesday. I was told to expect 2 weeks, but I'm going to call then on Friday and bug them. I heard my surgeon is booking put 4-6 weeks. I know the feeling of wanting it now, but looks like early January for me. Best wishes!

    On the Subject of New Clothes....

    I hate shopping now, and my clothes are all alike, black and Gray. I personally think shopping for regular size clothes will be exciting. Good riddance to these old clothes, soon!

    Almost there!

    I'm almost there too. One more nutrition appt on the 20th. It's starting to feel tangible. I think mine will be early January. Good luck & I hope you get your soon too!
  4. That's really negligent to put you off and to not know they use the belly button as one of their ports. I've had 3 abdominal surgeries and all 3 went through my bb. I too, got infected one time. My dr said to lay on your back and pour hydrogen peroxide in there and let it set a minute, then drain and dry it really good. It's important to keep it dry as possible. You probably could use a bit of neosporin. Hope you heal soon! Best wishes!
  5. If you want the sleeve, I would stick to your guns. My Dr wants me to do a different surgery, due to gerd, but I'm not willing to do the bypass. I'm in Wa and 53. I've been through the wringer and am almost in the home stretch. My surgery will be in January sometime. Just waiting on A date. Best of luck to you!

    Protein protein protein

    Bariatric sells protein in 1 oz shots. Maybe give that a try? I bought 10 to start. Good luck!
  7. This is so maddening. I would never let this go if it were me. Major violation. I'm very angry for you. They could and should have left a message. Wtf!!??
  8. I'm not sure what day, but surgery will be in January. Will find out the exact day in Nov. Good luck to all!

    SOUP, 911

    I'm not sure, but I have purchased a lot myself to tide myself over the first month. Surgery in a couple months. Hope someone comes along and has a review of them. I have heard that unjury makes the best chicken soup. Good luck!

    7 days Post OP

    I've been told you have shoulder pain after abdominal surgery due to then putting air to fill your stomach up. I've had multiple abdominal surgeries and have encountered this pain. I,however, have not had the sleeve yet. Best wishes & I hope you feel better soon!
