December 2013 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is Alysha and I'm proud to finally say that "I'm a December Sleever"! My surgery date is December 2nd. Yeah!!! As you can tell I'm a little excited. My husband says that he's never seen anyone so excited about having major surgery. Right, Exactly he's never had a BMI of 40. (Wait, I just noticed there's not tickers. Sad face) Back too me! I just turned 40, a stay-at-home mom of a wonder five year old son "Ty", a wife and a four year cancer survivor. I was approved by UHC and have been going through this process since the beginning of the year. I thought this day would never come and I'm glad its here. Height 5 9" HW 289 CW 260 GW 180 would be nice!

Welcome Alysha and congratulations on your upcoming surgery and your 4 year cancer free status! Glad to have you in the group and wish you all the best!

i am having trouble getting in for my psych eval. The doctor is booked until December 5. i asked to be put on their cancellation list so I have now been moved up to November 26. This is my last hoop and I am afraid I won't get through it in time for December surgery.

I am going to call the surgeon's office Monday and see if there is anything they can do to hurry this along, also going to call the psych office to make sure they keep trying to move my appointment up.

I would appreciate prayers that I can get this done!

It is exciting to see so many get their surgery scheduled!

See another one!

I would try calling the office and ask for the name of another provided, the coordinator at my doctor's office gave me 2 or 3 names so I could get it done as quickly as possible, you may have to drive a bit but it may be worth it

Hi everyone! I'm booked for my surgery December 8th in Mexico.

I'm 36 years, 5'9 and I weigh 230 pound so 100 pounds over weight. Won't miss that at all I'm excited but scared. I've tried every diet and exercise program known to man and nothing has helped.

There are some going to Mexico, but at the moment, I'm not sure who. Probably a few pages back, someone was asking the same thing.

Hopefully when people get back online tomorrow (or navigate this new setup) they will reply!

Is anyone else going to Mexico for their surgery?

      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.
