teemarie1078 165 Posted April 27, 2014 Hi everyone, I have been on this forum a few months, but haven't really spoken up. I have just been like a sponge soaking up everyone's knowledge and experiences. I am so happy to say that I have been approved by BCBS for my sleeve surgery, and it will be on May 20th, which also happens to be my 8 year wedding anniversary! Anyway, I couldn't contain my excitement to start this new chapter in my life:-) 5 Mzdiva3, walkingshammy, labella76 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turbosleeve 6 Posted April 28, 2014 May 20th in Dallas, TX with Dr. Nicholson. Have my pre-op clearance physical tomorrow with my PCP. Totally amped to get this thing going. Where's your mind been lately around the surgery? 1 rome reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teemarie1078 165 Posted April 28, 2014 I'm pretty much a jumble of all sorts of emotions. I am scared because my life as I know it will be over, but so excited for the same reason. I have had several food funerals, I imagine that will continue another week. What will we all do once food is no longer there for us as it once was?! My doctor does not require this liquid pre-op diet everyone seems to be doing.. He wants me to continue to lose weight, but I only do liquids for 1day prior. So strange how different all the surgeons are. Anyway, super excited, and so happy I found this forum, and all of us going in May ???? 1 melissaingr reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Want my outside to match my inside....new career, new body, great health....NEW ME!
