Outrigger.. How have you done??

Well...I will know more by Thursday at 11am. Waiting is killing me

I'm a doctor at Kaiser not a nurse. I haven't done the sleeve yet because they changed my meds and I'm losing weight. Wanted to give it a couple of months to see if the weight would come off on its own. I was a 10 until they put me on these meds and nothing worked so I decided to try the sleeve. Now that I'm off the meds I'm hoping!!

I find it interesting that as a Doctor at Kaiser you can get the sleeve done. I am a PO employee based in the Ohio region and was told I don't meet the BMI requirement for recommendation of surgery.

Well....seen Irani today and my surgery is Monday the 25th!!! I only have to do one week liquid per op diet. Can't believe I now have a date. And it's the day after my birthday! What an awesome birthday gift....healthier future!!!!

Maharet, that's a shame you don't meet the requirements. My BMI more than meets the requirements, I have knee replacements and high blood pressure so I'm eligible, just scared to do it!

,kndi, Yeah for you, keep me posted how it goes

He is booked up till then. I don't have to start my pre op until the 18th so I can actually get myself mentally ready. I started a "to do" list last night and there is enough to keep me busy. I could not sleep at all last night!

Wow so exciting !!! Congrats my appt is the 12 I hope he doesn't push me out til march.

Surgery went great' date=' I had to do 2 wks liquid diet pre op, which sucks. But worth it . After my first visit with him it took 6 months to have surgery, because of my insurance . They required a 6 month weight loss first with my primary care dr & a full medical evaluation with specialist .[/quote']

How long was your hospital stay and how was the hospital? Im nervous because I live in Morro Bay and its a looooong drive. Just dont know how much time I'll have between surgery and a 3 hour drive home.
