Hello from Dubai! My surgery is tentatively scheduled for the the third week of April. I'm excited and terrified but I am so looking forward to meeting the new me! I have a question - might sound stupid but couldn't help myself but ask. Have you guys read any stories, articles, etc about people who got sleeved more than 5 years ago and how they are now? Any suggested readings would be greatly appreciated! Good luck to all <3

Hello April Sleevers! I've been watching your posts but didn't know my date for sure until this afternoon! I have been going thru this process for almost a year. Denied 2 times on my insurance and tried to appeal but they wouldn't budge...... So, I'm self pay. I am scheduled for 4/10! I am so excited and scared too now that I actually have the date! I know this a normal reaction based on what others post on the site but somehow it doesn't sink in until you are actually going through it! Yay us! :)

I found out this morning that my surgery date was moved up 2 days, so now April 23rd. A month from Saturday!!! I am so scared!!!! I need this badly and know this is the right thing for me but man alive I'm a month out and am so nervous!!! Looking forward though, to dropping those pounds before summer!!! I hit the gym this morning, and started my strength training to prepare my body for the mass exodus of these extra pounds!!! :)

Hello, I waited two years for my surgery. I'm scheduled for April 10th. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I can't wait until it's finally over and I can claim my spot on the loser's bench. Good luck to all the April Sleevers!

We are the same day!!!

I got my surgery date today April 15! I bought all the stuff they wanted me to buy. Protein powders, Vitamins, Protein Shots etc. It came to $328!! OMG I hope this will last me for awhile. I don't like paying so much but I will do whatever they want to have the surgery. I am so excited. I can't believe I am really doing this after thinking about this for so long. Good luck to all of the April sleevers.

      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.
