I'm so nervous!!! I'm getting sleeve this Saturday and I don't know what to think!!! So scared but so ready for a happy change. Any beginners advice?!? Does it hurt after? Like a lot? I feel like a nervous Kindergartner.

Congratulations on your surgery date. I will be a band to sleeve revision.

I received a disappointing message yesterday from the nutritionist. I initially was told since I already went through nutrition classes with the band, that I would only have to do 3 months of classes plus the pulmonary and cardiac clearances. It appears CHRIAS made a mistake and I now have to do 6 months of nutrition classes.. The insurance company just wants 6 months before thay approve it. They explained the reason is because I'm 5 years out from the band.

I was upset because I was supposed to get my surgery date January 30th. Now it looks like I won't get a date until around April. I have to call tomorrow to get back on the schedule for more nutrition classes and who knows what else. The positive side is that I wasn't denied but I'm still disappointed.
