Hi all so excited. I will be sleeved on july 22. This has been about ten years coming so I am so ready. I have to start drinking three shakes a day instead of the two and a meal because my liver has not shrunk enough. I have lost forty pounds in under a month on the diet. Thanks to all of you on here, you keep me inspired.

I have been fighting insurance for ten years and since obama care I actually got to switch insurance and now have coverage.

I feel like I will actually get to live life for once instead of being a spectator.

I'm also scheduled for July on the 8th. Started my journey 4 years ago and am very nervous but excited to have this surgery.

Obamacare has not been so good to me but if it's working for you, more power to you. Congratulations on your date. You are going to love this. i waited 10 years to have surgery but I'm sort of glad I did because the sleeve wasn't available when I first started looking at this, I love my sleeve and my new life style. Good luck everyone.

Congrats! I'm 2 days behind you, July 24 is my date. I'm already wishing I would have done this years ago.

I'm scheduled for 07/24 but the insurance has requested more info from my doctor....hopefully all goes well....I'm keeping my fingers, toes and legs crossed!! Where are u located? I'm in NYC and I'm getting sleeved at NYU.

I hope your insurance issues are cleared up quickly! I'm located near Harrisburg, Pa and that is where I'm getting surgery. I'm so excited for all of us, can't wait to start living again :)

Congratulations! I am actually the day before you, July 21! I am super excited so I can imagine that you are as well. My doctor didn't ask me to do a diet pre-surgery.

      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.
