Any Az sleevers?

I'm scheduled for the 28th. I stared my pre op diet on Saturday and I'm really hungry but I know this is going to be worth it. I'm having surgery at St. Luke's in Phoenix.

Hi I live in AZ I recently decided to get the sleeve I saw my pcp and she referred me to Scottsdale healthcare . I called my insurance healthnet and a prior auth is needed before they approve it .

you will do great, they are really good at St Lukes, I had minimum pain, just walk as soon as you can and as much as you can. Not any gas pain in my chest and they must check for leaks during surgery because they didn't do it before discharge.

I am in Phoenix, I sleeved on 12/26/13, so still a newbie, any encouraging words would be AWESOME! I have a pretty awesome family support, but it's really tough as I was, AM a comfort eater & so having issues with finding a new outlet for when I am stressed. I had a major ankle surgery in september 2013 (2nd surgery on my right ankle) so am not quite ready for exercise over a bit of walking, but any ideas would be great!

Thanks!

Is this board still alive? How is everyone doing?

I have the sleeve done 6/5/14 and feeling great! I had a wonderful doctor, Dr. Orris from the LWIA, outpatient. Not once did I experience any pain. I'm near Queen Creek.
