February Sleevers?

[Lexsan 104]

After a long year of waiting I finally got my clearance for surgery I'm scheduled Feb 20. I'm a bit nervous, scared and even second guessing it. In the past year I lost 30 lbs on my own and focused on me to prepare me for this day why do I feel this way?

I'm new to this. I saw my doctor December 13th, have done all my pre-tests and will see my doctor again tomorrow. She said I was a candidate for the sleeve and we would talk when to have the surgery. I think we will be shooting for Feb 12th. I know she will have to send for my letter of authorization, but I know my insurance covers the surgery. (Several people from my work have had it done and I qualify too.) Good luck to you and I'll let you know how it works out for me.

I see my doctor tomorrow and I'm sure I start around the 28th. Have you started yet? I know it is going to be pretty hard....lol

I am scheduled for February 27th ! No second guessing I am totally prepared. Although now I'm getting all the questions/comments from others like am I sure I wanna do this, you don't need to do this, why are you doing this. My reply: I'm doing this for me, it's happening, end of discussion. Stops them in their tracks lol.

I'm with you! I'm doing this for me too. I'm waiting on my authorization letter from the insurance company, but my doctor said they usually have it within 10-12 days. I'm scheduled for 2/12. Good luck to you!

Wow, good luck. I guess you are on the liquid pre-op now. How is it going?

I started my pre op deit in October when I made my deposit. I started drinking two Protein Shakes a day and a low carb dinner. I went from 390lbs to 348lbs (as of yesterday). Yesterday I started my doc Rx pre op which is the Protein shakes and low carb dinner for 14 days then 4 days of a clear liquid diet. I have to be honest I am tired of the shakes. Today I only had one so far but I went to sonic and got a route 44 cup of ice and poured a hunger crystal light over it so i have been sipping on that and eating the ice. I know later I may have to have the shake but it seems to be working for me as of now....
