meggiep 57 Posted April 16, 2011 I didn't realize this thread was here! I a thrilled to add to it- my surgery is May 9th - my surgeon is Dr. John Feng and my surgery is at Sequoia Hospital here in Redwood City- he is with the Palo Alto Medical Foundation , has done tons of sleeves and studied with the doctor in New York who developed it. He recently gave a lecture to a passle of doctors at Stanford about sleeves. I start my two week liquid diet on April 25th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beckyboop74 1 Posted April 21, 2011 Hi all, I just found out my insurance approved me! And the surgery dates approved for the hospital stay is May 23-25th! I have to find out what date exactly from my surgeon but I assume it will be on one of them and that is good enough for me! I am SO EXCITED! My surgery will be with Dr. Christopher You in Baltimore, Maryland! I have to do a two week pre-op diet where I drink about 5 Bariatric Advantage shakes a day! I know it will be hard but I'm willing to do what I gotta do. I have already been having a shake for Breakfast for about a month now to get myself more used to it. So far so good! In any case, I have to find out if I have to drink the shakes with Water or milk. I so hope milk because it makes the taste better. So SO SO SO SO excited! I can't thank all of you enough for your posts, really have inspired me through my six month insurance period. I've learned a lot. I hope to learn more every day!

soon to be skinny 0 Posted April 22, 2011 I have not seen a thread on here as it may be too early for the May sleevers, but I thought I would start one since I have a May surgery date! Anyone out there getting sleeved in May? I will be having surgery on Tuesday May 24th at 10:30 A.M. with Midwest Bariatric Solutions in Theda Clark Medical Center Neenah Wisconsin. Super excited at this point! I know the nerves will come soon enough! Calling all May sleevers! Lets start this journey together! Kara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
