Hey everyone, I am hoping for a June date as well! I'm currently going through my 3 month supervised diet, my last appointment will be May 23rd, then my Psych eval is on the 24th then they submit the paperwork to BCBS Federal... I am constantly praying I get approved. This site has helped sooooo much!

Hi Everyone!

I'm hoping for a June date also, I'm a teacher and this works better with my schedule. I completed my initial exam, psych eval and ultrasound last week. I have a pulmonary scheduled for mid April. My file was sent to bcbs yesterday, so keep your fingers crossed! I started a medically managed weight loss program on my own this week to prepare myself for the lifestyle change. The hospital I'm working with Alexian brothers has a surgical and non surgical weight management division. Let's support each other!

Hello all! I'm scheduled for a band to sleeve revision on 6/10. It seems like so far away! I've already done my sleep study (no apnea) and EGD (no problems found) so just have to do a cardiac clearance and nutrition class at the end of May. I'm soo ready to do this!!

Hello Group

I'm new to the group and I am very excited to report that I will be sleeved June 3, 2013! I have already done the pysch eval, got the cardiac clearence, done 2 of my 3 nutrionist appointments, endoscopy scheduled this friday and then I'm ready to go. I have to say tho, I did schedule myself some appointments with my pysch. outside of the sleeve because I have done ALOT of research and I am very worried about the addiction transfer. I am glad I found this group because its really nice to be able to read stories from people going thru your same struggles. Thank you all and good luck, see u on the LOSERS bench!!!!!!!!!

      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.
