Denise73 89 Posted May 23, 2014 Hi, I am scheduled for 6/30/2014. I am both nervous and excited. I know these last few weeks are going to fly by. I can't wait until the surgery is over. It's been a long road. 1 tiredmama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Denise73 89 Posted May 23, 2014 Hello, i wanted to know if you're from NY ? This is last month of my requirement journey. ( my around visit with my surgeon on June 4th ) what is to be expected that day ? I'm just so nervous.. Millions of thought racing through my head and no way of putting them on here lol.. I'm just a little worried about the approval. Everyone tells me not to worry I'll be fine.. But heck there's always a little preoccupation ... What do you think .. I have Healt First. My BMI is at 47.. I weigh 253.. I gained maybe 10 lbs since I started in December.. Which I doubt would be a problem being that I need to lose a little weight before surgery..,Tammie30, don't worry. You will get approved. My BMI was just 40 with no co-morbid health issues and I was approved within three days. I was worried sick but was approved so all that worrying for nothing. I see you're from NY, so am I. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angela.spradlin 9 Posted May 23, 2014 I went today for my final meeting with the weight loss center..I went straight to the surgeons office and made my pre-op appt for next Thursday the 29th...I was told it could be as soon as 2 weeks from that date for surgery..I am to start my pre-op diet of 2 Protein Shakes and sensible low carb dinner. I also have to do a 2 day liquid diet 48 hrs prior to surgery...like so many on here I am excited and nervous too.. I have thought about this surgery for some time now but I had my first appt on April 1st so it has moved rather quickly..I have insurance through BCBS and it only took them 3 business days to approve this surgery... Good luck everyone!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RNCurtin 2 Posted May 23, 2014 I couldn't find a June Sleevers forum. If there is one already please direct me! Well anyway, I'm glad excited that I finally got a date, June 5th. I am scheduled for June 5th also. I get nervous on and off. Pre diet is not very pleasant but I want the surgery to be without any complications so I have been super compliant. My food cravings have lessened and I am no longer dreaming of cooking like the first week. I'm with journeylite and they gave me the foods I have to eat up until the day of surgery so I didn't have to put much thought into it - which is a good thing.

Good luck everyone!! Wow only 2 days of the Liquid Protein diet. Good for you. I have to be on the liquid Protein diet for 2 whole weeks. I can't imagine me not eating solid food for 2 whole weeks. It's going to be a rough journey. 1 angela.spradlin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
