January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My target is January. The girl who runs things for my doctor told me that once I get all my pre-op checks done (EGD, NUT, etc.), that's when they submit. She said insurance has up to 45 days to respond, but usually do so within 7-10. I think I'll have everything taken care of by mid-December, so January is doable.

I have no date yet, and haven't been approved either. I hope they do. I want this life change so badly.

Just scheduled my surgery for January 14, 2013...I was planning on before the end of the year, but it didn't work out that way. I know January is just right around the corner...but it feels so far away!!

So glad someone started a January thread!! Makes me feel like it's getting closer and closer! :) My surgery is scheduled for January 22nd and I'm counting down the days to the start of my pre-op diet on January 8th. I love the holidays but I'm finding myself wishing they would all just be over so I can get my sleeve and start my new life! So excited! Hope the next couple months go by fast, fun, and easy for all my fellow January sleevers!!

January is a good time. Bring in the new year and be able to keep that resolutuion. All the holiday eating is done and you will neet out of pocket all in Jan meaning insurance should pay 100 percent of all medical for the remainder of the year for all the follow ups. Lots of upside to Jan. :)

Hi! I'm Marquel. Live in Santa Barbara CA. I'm getting sleeved 1/24/13 in TJ by Dr Rodriguez. It's pretty much all I can think about!

I will be finishing my 3 month pre-op program at the beginning of December. So I should be sleeved sometime in January as long as my insurance approves :rolleyes: I was looking for a Jan 2013 forum, but it's not out there yet. We need one!

I'm in the St. Louis area and Dr. Richardson from the New Start program will be doing my surgery. I can't wait!!! :D

First Post here. Went for first visit to the doctor and have started the process. Have psycological visit tomorrow. Hope to have all done and insurance approval for surgery first of January. Been in this body for 56 years and look for new lease on life so I can live long enough to see my daughter married and hopefully my grandkids born and married.

      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.
