January 2014 Sleevers Come In!

[luckyme2g 35]

I sometimes have to reopen the app for it to work right.

I have told my husband, sister, sister in law, and brother. I will tell my kids closer to surgery day. I will have to tell my boss but I don't think I will give him details just enough to get the time off if work.

I don't really care to tell anyone else and so far everyone has been good except my brother who made kind of a snotty comment about a friend who had the surgery then grained all the weight back.

I am set for January 8th. Although it's been a long time coming I am so worried about doing things right postOP to optimize success. Does anyone else have these fears?

I am scheduled January 8th! In Amarillo, TX, Dr Hodges. Nervous and excited

Thank you for all the feedback. I feel the same way about waiting to tell until I am 100% sure they will understand. Love this app!

Hi all I was just approved and told that I will get a date in January. I am still hoping for a last minute cancellation so I can get my surgery this year for insurance purposes. But either way this is really happening! I can't believe it!

I have been very open about having the surgery as I need my family support to help with my kids and I need my boss and Co-workers help to cover while I am out. I have only one non supporter but I understand where she is coming from and just don't ask her for help.

I am still shocked that this is really happening! I was approved the day after my final visit with the nutritionist. I emailed my case worker to double check that I was really approved! Lol

I look forward to getting to know you all!

How are y'all doing with the pre-op weight loss?

[shungsleeve 62]

My pre op diet does not start until December 23rd. I have been walking 5 days a week for 30 minutes per my doctors order and I have lost about 8 pounds so far.

[luckyme2g 35]

I don't have any specific number I have to meet, just the 10 day pre-op diet. Between my initial appointment and my final appointment I can't gain any more than 10 lb or my surgery will be postponed. So far I have gained 3, but I have also cut out all sweets, given up coffee, and started going to the gym 3 days a week.
