Hello Everybody! I would like to join the December 2013 sleevers group.

My name is Tiffany. I am 32 years old, a wife, and a mother of a beautiful little girl.

I am scheduled to be sleeved on 12/10/2013 and I am super nervous. I have been debating the surgery for over 3 years. I have finally come to the realization that I cannot lose the weight on my own... I went through all of the insurance requirements to be approved for the sleeve, then backed out... Now, I am here to finally follow through with the surgery.

I work as a clinical quality/risk manager in a hospital, so I am super duper freaked out about being that one-in-a-million where something goes horribly wrong. I am getting better and better each day though. My family is being SO AWESOME in their support of me.

I look forward to going on this journey with each of you.

Tiffany

My insurance is weird, I couldn't have my psych eval until after I was approved for surgery. Well I now have to take a written portion for the eval and I can't do it until my insurance signs off on it. I'm actually on the phone with insurance now trying to get them to push it through. Wish me luck!

Wow that is crazy, but fight for your self. Call the Dr office and have them fight fir it too. I hate insurance for these reasons.

      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.
