Anyone having the sleeve in april?!



Recommended Posts

My surgery was just approved 2 days ago and is scheduled for April 2nd as well!! I am so excited and nervous to!

We can be buddies! Sorry to hear what you're going through with hubby. I think it's a common insecurity. My ex used to sabotage every effort to lose weight. And he would say, well if you lose weight, you're not going to want me. I took it that he didn't value me; in retrospect, I believe he didn't value himself or see his own inherent value. Good luck!! I'm here if you want to talk.

Oops didn't mean to copy that, phone is acting a little strange! I would love to have someone to talk to that understands how I feel fit2bme! It is crazy how life works out! I have tried to explain to him that this is for me and my girl, not to find a man! I am just tired to feel down on myself and having no energy! My daughters deserve the best mom in the world and I feel I am selling them short so to say if I don't love myself!!

I have an appt with my doc Apr 14 for clearance. Then it's the final group and then surgery. I'm ready. My daughter has prom at the end of April, I guess I will wait for the first week of May.

I live in San Diego County and am scheduled for surgery April 9th. I should get my insurance approval early next week. I am nervous since I am going from band to sleeve, so it's not a slam dunk like my first WLS approval. However, I have pretty great insurance and I am staying positive that I will have surgery in 3 weeks time. ????

So I just joined Bariatricpal and it is really nice to know there are so many people out there that I can talk to about my experiences. I am waiting on my insurance to approve me, they said I should know sometime this week. So fingers crossed I will have surgery some time next month. I would like it to be the week after easter if possible. I already started my pre-op diet early just so I could get a jump start on it. I am definitely nervous, but excited at the same time.

I am officially an April sleever. I was scheduled originally for March 31st but the office just called and said they needed to postpone it so April 2nd it is.

Drags on my countdown a bit but I've waited years, I don't think 2 more days will kill me.

      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.
