This is why I am confused as well! If the other two surgeries are medically necessary why wouldn't the sleeve be?! I am probably getting way ahead of myself and I should just wait until my seminar and let dr o'malley's staff take care of it but it made me nervous!! I really want the sleeve!!!

Yes they will. Very great staff. I hope you can get it. Good luck and keep me posted-:) as I will do the same. Crossing fingers for a summer surgery date!

Just went to my seminar with dr o'malley last night! And this morning I called and scheduled all of my initial appts. It seems like I definitely picked a wonderful and comprehensive program! And I am do excited that things are signally moving along !! I am still not sure what is going to happen with my insurance and I probably won't have a surg date until the fall but we shall see what happens ... First NUT seminar is on 6/13 and it really begins!! So anxious and excited!!

Just went to my first NUT seminar yesterday morning an I have to admit it was a little overwhelming! But I am so glad to get things moving and have something to focus on other than just sitting here and waiting ! Next step is my history and physical appt on 7/9, but at least my initial weight has already been recorded so the process has really begun!! Yay!!!

Hi, I am well, just a little impatient still. I have completed my history and physical appointment and my first one on one with the NUT. And I also got my abdominal ultrasound and completed my psych eval. For some reason the psych wants to check up on me one more time but I think I passed! Lol! I have my sleep study scheduled but it isn't until next month, so thing are moving along... I have at least 2 more nut visits so I will not be getting a surgery date until late September at the earliest. Hopefully I can meet the 5% weight loss requirement... I am working on it.

That did not want to be edited!! It got sent before I was ready but things are finally moving along! I am a little nervous about the sleep study and meeting my 5% weight loss requirement, I have lost a little over 5 lbs so far so hopefully I can keep it going!

Hi, just a quick update! I finally saw dr omalley yesterday for my consult and they are submitting to my insurance next week!!!! I am thrilled but also felt my anxiety kick in once I had to read and sign all those liability forms making sure you know all about every possible complication. I guess things just got very real for me. I have MVP which of course is the last insurance in the Rochester ny area that does not cover the sleeve!! Even Medicare covers it now, this is just crazy, so hopefully they can be persuaded!!! I am now very nervous and all that's left to do right now is wait.

      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.
