Lightweight sleevers ....yes we can....

[ReadyNewM3 112]

Tomorrow I will have my surgery at 1pm, for some people I'm not enought "fat" to have the surgery. Nobody's know how bad is our diets fights, years of overweight, but no, we have the right to make our dreams come true... I was approved in 24 hours, 35.2 bmi ( 199 and lose 15 pounds during preop diet) with diabetes, then high blood pressure, then high cholesterol, then I have to wait to be more fat or have more health problems to have the chance to get the surgery?

No! I don't care about any negative comments in my family or friends. Im being doing a hard work for the last 20 years with yo-yo diets with no long-terms results.

Now, I'm so happy because tomorrow is my surgery, and just want to tell with people like me, try, try and fight! Its your body and your health!

Good luck to all new sleevers!!! Tomorrow its my day!!!!! Thanks God!

Hi! How did your surgery go? I'm a lightweight too -- 36 right now and was told by coordinator I don't qualify because I was under 35 in the last three years.

I too would like to know how things turned out for you with your surgery?

Hi all!

Thanks for asking!

Well my surgery was on 9/18, I was 2 days in the hospital and everything was ok. Normal pain, a lil discomfort for the gas, so I walk, walk, walk since the day of the surgery. ... no pain meds at home, and today its my 8th day and I feel good! Im trying to understand my sleeve and doing my diet! So, overall, not too bad, and the better part is that I lose 11 pounds! Good luck to everyone!

I'm so sorry..did you check direct with your insurance?

I'm moving forward with all the requirements and then we'll turn it in to insurance...I hope it's approved.
