Healthy_life2 8,324 Posted May 19, 2014 June 2nd for me. June 30th for my hubby! So excited to be on this journey. I'm on the 2nd also! I think it's great your doing it together. All my best to both of you, jenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wittygirl 28 Posted May 19, 2014 I'm a self pay. My company's insurance does not have an "obesity rider" which allows for approval of the procedure for insurance purposes....early stage company with lots and lots of healthy people, so they felt they didn't need to pay for the rider. With self pay, the wheels do move faster, which I really appreciate. I'm maxing out BLIS insurance so all the various complications are covered for the max period possible. Having spent that money and my luck, all will go swimmingly. That's what I'm hoping! Congrats to all June sleevers! Nice to meet you and share the journey! 3 Sweet Baby, newbody2014 and Denise73 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Baby 6 Posted May 20, 2014 My sleeve surgery is scheduled for June 4th. I'm super excited, but also scared. I will be starting my pre-op Protein Shakes later this week. 2 Gr8fulMiniMe and wittygirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nurseygirl 29 Posted May 20, 2014 Hey, I heard that your taste buds change after surgery so don't buy a lot of Protein shakes... You my start to dislike what you currently like. 1 wittygirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amandaseiders 13 Posted May 20, 2014 I go for my pre-op EGD tomorrow, it's required just to make sure there's no surprises whenever I go for the surgery. Tomorrow marks the exact two week mark until this happens!!!! It's getting so real!! 2 Denise73 and wittygirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcherder 13 Posted May 20, 2014 Hi! I have been surfing the site for a good month now and i find this all educational. I finally have data as well. My surgery will take place on June 17.

dannilynn1 83 Posted May 20, 2014 Hello, I have not received my date yet but I just found out that they have submitted to the inusrance already and are waiting for the approval. I have anthem blue cross, i heard the approval process is easy with them . She said that my preop will be scheduled as soon as they get that approval and a week after that preop appt would be the surgery. so it looks like the begining to mid june for me. I am getting nervous, scared and anxious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hirgirl 4 Posted May 21, 2014 Seems June 4th is a popular date! I'm having my sleeve done on this day as well. Started my two week pre-op diet on day 2. It's hasn't been that hard. 4shakes a day with up to 5 additional items like sf Jello, pudding, Soup and veggies. I realize just how much head hunger I really have! I am slightly nervous, but more excited on this journey for a healthy mind and Body! And it won't be bad to look as great as you feel! This is a very exciting time and I'm so ready to get it going! 1 wittygirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not having trouble with the diet during the day BUT when I get home from work is when the hunger sets in.... A friend of mine who went through the pre op process with me had her surgery on April 18, and she has lost a total of 47 pounds...which includes her pre op weight loss. Pretty amazing huh? 1 wittygirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
