Ohio Sleevers - Where Are You?

[CrisH64 35]

I'm in Columbus, and just wondering if there are any sleevers, pre-op or post-op, doesn't matter, just looking for some hometown folks to link up with for friends!

I'm scheduled for my sleeve next week (May 8th).

Sound off guys, I need your support!

I'm pre-op. I live in Chillicothe, but will be getting sleeved at Mt. Carmel West in Columbus.

I have my first nutrition class on Monday and the last at the end of this month. My psych eval is mid-May. Those were the only clearances I need, then off to insurance, which they said can be 2-8 weeks for approval. :-/ I'm hoping to have surgery before August because I'm a retail manager and my workload significantly increases in September.

Best of luck!

So am I! Dr. Trace Curry is my surgeon too! Were we in the same nutrition class, on April 24th? I am so trying not to cheat, some of these meals are just gross, and cheating is very tempting, I'm trying hard. I agree that last week was the worst, but now I sometimes don't even want to eat (go figure). My stomach feels like it's eating itself! LOL! Maybe I'll see you on the 8th, I'm scheduled for 12:15 since I'm in Columbus. What about you?

Congratulations!! I was approved about 12 days after my letter was sent, now I'm a week out, and ready to get her done! Good luck to you!

Hey! How cool is that? Yes, the food they gave us is weird. Like the eggs and the chili, yuck. I like all the broths so mostly I just sip on those like coffee all day. It is hard not to cheat. I want a beer!! Lol! My surgery letter says it is at 830 and to be there by 7 am. I have never had surgery in my life so I am getting very nervous, I hope I do see you there! Maybe I will be waking up then

I was sleeved on April 14th in dayton. Dr Siddiqui was my surgeon.

Hey all! I am also being sleeved by Dr. Trace Curry at the JourneyLite Center. Just got my surgery date yesterday, 07/31! Got my insurance approval 05/16 just 3 days after submission! I could have had my surgery 07/03 however, I will have been with my company a year beginning 07/29 so, I decided to wait. My EGD is scheduled for 06/04 and my consent/nutrition class is 07/07. How is everyone who's been sleeved already, doing? How long did they put you off work?

Hope all is well with everyone!!

I had sleeve surgery 2/24/14 and am down 45 lbs. Dr Siddiqui did my surgery, too. You will be amazed (after surgery recuperation) how much better you will feel!!

I realize you did this post a couple of month ago, but I'm just seeing it so I thought I'd chime in.

I was sleeved by Dr Curry at JourneyLite on June 23rd. It was a BREEZE and I'd been so very scared beforehand. Everyone who works there is so nice and calming. My anesthesiologist was so awesome and he put me right at ease.

I had a little pain when I woke up but they took care of that with meds. As soon as I was ready they got me up and walking and I felt pretty good.

They left it to me when I felt like going back to work and since I work from home I was working a few hours a day by my 5th post-op day. They were more than happy to write me off for longer though.

Had my sleeve surgery 2/24/14 in Dayton by Dr Sidddiqui. Down 53 lbs. Everything went well. Hospital 1 1/2 days, turned out to have a hernia which Dr Siddiqui repaired also. Very pleased with everything-classes, support.
