Thank you for the prayers everyone!!! The anesthesiologist was Amazing!!! No mask and I didn't even realize when I fell asleep till they woke me up. Nausea was bad for a while but they gave me zofran and reglan combo and I just took a lap around the nurses station. Looking forward to feeling better tomorrow

I have to be at the hospital at 530 am.... FREAKING out!!!!

My surgery is Tuesday as well and for some reason I cried like a little baby allllll day yesterday watching my niece eat a subway sandwich lol

Thanks so much. My surgery is next Tues the 25th and I just ordered one from Amazon!!

I'm looking at the bottle. Is it the camelbak eddy where u can remove the straw and suck?

Mine is on the 25th too!!!!

My surgery has been pushed back to the 17th. My uncle passed away this morning and I have to fly to Chicago so I won't be back for the 10th :-(

Yay got my approval today!!!! Surgery Feb 10!!!!!

Ughhh im on day 3 of the 14 day liquid pre op diet and haven't had any protein. Tried Syntrax, EAS, Pure protein.... They all taste funky

Good luck to you!! Im being converted from the band to sleeve on the 10th of Feb and I'm so excited to finally have a working tool to get this weight off for good

Since I have the band, I have followed up with my surgeon every year for adjustments so he wrote the insurance a letter of medical necessity

I'm converting from Lap Band to Sleeve. Submitted through Health Net PPO. Nothing is wrong with my band, just not working. They just needed it documented that I failed to lose the weight within 2 years.

We have the same date!! Starting my liquids today

I start my 14 days on Monday. I had lapband in 2008 and by day 4 of that pre op diet I was cussing everyone out lol

I have to do 2 weeks starting Monday .. Uggh

Lapnicky, That's what I did too. Purchased Healthnet PPO effective Jan 1, papers submitted Jan 10, approval Jan 16 and surgery will be Feb 10.... So happy to get this band out and sleeve in

Wok hoo!!!! My date is 2/10 also!!!!

Thanks for the list!!!! I was dying with the bathroom buddy lmao!!!!

Ok Guys, my surgery is scheduled for Feb 10. I got Lap Band 6 years ago, and it just hasn't worked out. I am listening to everyone talk about how its hard to get liquids in, and the chest pressure etc....When I had the band, I didn't have any problem with sipping or anything, and when I had the Upper GI after, the lady administering it made me take gulp after gulp. That wasn't a problem with the band, but how on earth can you keep drinking the barium with the sleeve if we can't really even sip Water right for a while.....Just curious :-)

Just got my surgery date of Feb 10.... Can I have a copy of the list too. My email is Splatt83@gmail.com

CONGRATS.. WILL your surgery be on the 10th? Mine is on feb 4th.. so we are close together... best of luck my friend....jewelj Hi JewelJ, Yes, my coordinator just needs final approval from the hospital to make sure the OR is available that day, but she said it shouldn't be a problem. I have been so excited until now, and now I'm scared..lol. I have panic disorder and when I had lap band and they put the oxygen on me, i had a panic attack and tried to jump off the operating table. Hope this time is smoother for my nerves. Nice to meet U !

2/10/14 with Dr Paya at west hills hospital in CA. I am a band to sleeve revision.
