Any March Sleevers?

[Shayne 0]

I am having my surgery March 28. This will be my second go round with bariatric surgery. I had the band for almost 7 years. Not gonna say it failed. Think it was a combo of me and the restriction. The band wouldnt let anything go through....I did maintain my weightloss for about 6 yrs. Then it all of a sudden started coming back. I am now able to get the sleeve. My insurance didnt cover it last yr. So soon as this yr started, I went back to my same dr who did my band and he got me approved for the sleeve. I am in the pre-op part right now...which for me isnt that bad. Mainly just no meats, heavy stuff , candy, or very fatty stuff. I still eat veggies, fruit, Decaf coffee and tea and boca burgers....so far so good.

ok I feel like I need to retract my last post. I had not started drinking the Magnesium Citrate before posting that, Actually I was just going off of every ones accounts of it including the pharmacist. I'm either plum Loco, cuz it's actually kinda good, I bought the lemon one, put it in the fridge and got it all cold, put a straw in it, cuz I can now. It is almost refreshing, Like a tart sparkling lemon aid. I have a glass of ice Water to help chase it, but I don't really need it. All that fuss for nothing. Just wanted to let others know, incase you are as apprehensive as I was. Once again Good Luck, I'm on at 12:30pm tomorrow afternoon.

Gosh my surgery is scheduled for March 28th, really on about 10 days away and I STILL haven't gotten the final approval from the insurance, they said they have a pre-approval but not an official approval, therefor I haven't had my pre-op appointment to even find out if I need to be doing a pre-op diet or anything! Sorry for my vent… I just can't believe I haven't heard from them… I called Friday the 8th to see is they had everything they needed to submit to the insurance and she said she did and she had submitted it the previous day and thats when she had already gotten the pre-approval then she said it would be about 3-5 more business days until the official approval came, this past friday was 5 more business days… I hate to call her because her voicemail says please wait for us to contact you about surgery approvals.

Good luck!!! Are you on strictly liquid? I feel like every doctor has a different request of their patient for pre op. Its driving me crazy because some people have two shakes a day and a meal and some (like myslef) can only have four shakes a day and Clear Liquids or Jello (which i hate!)

My surgery date is March 26th too. I start my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow I tired Muscle Milk Protein Powder and it was the worst thing I have ever drank. Is there any better Protein powder that you like?

I'm the 26th also and dislike muscle milk. Yuk. I like Chike with soy milk. I only tried the chocolate. It's pretty good
