September sleevers wanted!



Recommended Posts

Hey! My surgery is set for the 17th too! I also have about 120 pounds to lose and am an avid Boop fan (the old man HATES to drive my car:001_tongue:)

I couldn't get anyone to come with me to Mexico and refused to go alone, so I am going to Las Vegas. Gonna make a birthday/anniversary trip out of it beforehand because I have no idea how I will feel after the surgery. Although, when I had my hysterectomy, my surgeon said I made having surgery look like a trip to Kmart. Hoping for that kind of experience again - except for the anesthesia making me sick for two days.:thumbup:

Hi everyone... Insurance approved my band removal but denied my sleeve. Immediately sent in appeal (I love my surgeon's office and the nurses there) with paperwork and proof of long attempts at exercise program, eating program, support groups, etc.... and feel confident they will come back with an approval! Positive vibes please if you can spare some? THANKS!!!

Hey everyone! Still doing good on my pre-op diet! I can feel the carb cravings going away, and today I am down exactly 7 Lbs. from the start. Whoohoo!! I'm feeling really good and I can feel the weight just melting off.

Can't wait for my surgery! Just about a week and a half to go.

:P

I went for my pre-op yesterday and they upped my surgery to 9/15/2010. So I will be sleeved in 12 days. Wow it almost feels real now. I started my liquid diet today. Unjury really isn't that bad so far.

Good luck to everyone.

Aww that stinks!!! :cursing:

Is there any way you can convince them to reschedule you sometime soon? I mean you are going to travel all that way and spend money on traveling that may not even need to happen - they should be able to take that into consideration...???

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
