I've been on this site for a couple months now and have never posted anything, I really enjoy reading everyones post very encouraging..

I have finished all my requirements for the gastric sleeve, I went to the doctor on Wednesday for my finally appointment with the surgeon and after him reviewing my lab work told my I was fat but healthy and was not sure if I would get approved... Oh and my BMI is only 36.. I do have slightly high blood pressure so I gave my clearance letter to my cardiologist to document I have high blood pressure so I am hoping that will help .. I was given a surgery date of August 30 pending insurance approval. They say they may not know anything until about 3 days before surgery . I am hoping and praying everything goes through after I've been all psyched up the past 3 months.

Let me know if there are any sleevers from Fl.

Well my surgery has been post poned , I was suppose to be sleeved on 8/30/2012 but my insurance requires I see the doctor 3 times within 90 days and I started my process May 2 and had my final appt with the surgeon on August 1 so I was 1 day short of my 90 days.. So I wll see the dr this week and hopefully reschedule.

      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.
