HI IM NEW AND NEED HELP!



Recommended Posts

My process took about 11-12 months because of insurance. I thought that sounded like forever but am really glad it went the way it did. I am now 6 months out and down 80 pounds.

I love my sleeve! It is the best thing I have ever done. I feel like a million bucks!!

Good luck to you

THANK YOU AND WOW THATS AMAZING CONGRATULATIONS

My answer is vague i'm afraid - everyone is different in the speed of getting approved

if you have all the proper requirements - high enough BMI - co-morbities - you should be approved in other words the "worse" you are' date=' the better!! :(:)

i've heard people say it took them a few months, i've seen others that applied on a "Friday" and hear a positive response within the week

as others have said - you will have a very very small new tummy

following all the "rules" of drinking and eating little portions - not grazing (eating all day) you can't help but lose weight!!!!

btw - your fears are common to others, so you are not alone

good luck[/quote']

Thank u ya everyone is different im going to do this no cheating

My first office visit was 9/9/2012. I had a six month supervised diet and I am getting sleeved tomorrow 3/18/2013. The time went so quickly my head is spinning.

      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.
