December 2013 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

I'm Kay. My surgery date is Nov.27 but hoped you'd accept me into your Dec. group. I'm 5' and I weigh 236. I've gone through most of the hoops already. Just one more next Monday when I have a pre-op meeting. I have quite a few concerns but most worried about what I will be able to eat, or drink, when I get home. Hope these questions will be answered at my meeting next week.

Man...our group is so large. Can't wait to take a poll at 6 months out and see how much we will have lost as a group! :D

This is a FANTASTIC idea Blondiee...Can you imagine the numbers we'll see? LOVE IT!

Approval came today from Anthem-- only took them 5 days but seems like forever. The scheduler is a guerrilla about giving out dates so I am waiting to hear when this will take place. Still hoping for December.

I have been reading your posts and want to thank you all for sharing information I am finding enormously helpful. Happy Friday!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Tarheel79.

Welcome Kay! This is a friendly bunch of people and I don't think we're being super exclusive. Your surgery is only 3 days shy of December.

I'm sure all of your questions will be answered at your pre-op appointment. Take a note pad with all of your questions just in case.

I'm new to this blog. I am finally going to be getting the surgery. The paperwork too so long and now I got my approval from the insurance and on Monday I go in and neet eith the surgeon again. Then Wednesday I meet fir pre-op stuff and start my 2 week liquid diet. Boy idk if I can do 2 weeks on straight liquids. Scared of failure but excited for the start of a new life. I'm 31 yrs old weight as of last week was 317 (biggest yet) I can't wait to back down to 150-160ish. I'm so glad there is a support group of people going through the same thing. I've never had surgery before and so scared something bad is going to happen. Oh ya my surgery date is December 4th 2013. I wish everyone the best of luck in there journey :-)

      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.
