Looking for July Sleevers!

[anncpants 1]

I'm self pay. Insurance doesn't cover it. I could have had the surgery the following week but I had a trip planned. Scheduled for my return.

My goodness that is fast. I suppose with self pay, you are the boss. I have really good insurance, my surgery will cost $500 co pay for an admission to the hospital. So I am lucky money wise...

[PRINCESSM 210]

Yes self pay does allow whatever we want. I worry that we wont be as prepared for it. My surgery will be 3 months after initial visit so its not so so quick.

I wasn't self pay and my wait wasn't that long o started my journey the end of April and had my surgery 7/3 , but my insurance didn't require me to lose weight or do any pre- approval diet. Only thing I had to do was pay co - payments and admission into hospital. I'm so thankful for that.

How are you doing with your recovery? How long did you stay in the hospital? Congrats on being on the losing bench. I'm on july 18th. Had pre testing today.

My headaches finally stopped yesterday. 4th day on liquid diet

Me too!

[Missviscious 24]

Actually I'm great I'm able to drink my fluids and getting around good. The pain is minimal I only take my pain meds like twice a day I got a headache out know where today but I read that is normal cause of the rapid weight loss. I haven't weighted myself yet I decided to wait till my first follow up appointment to see how much I lose. I'm just focusing on getting my Protein and fluids in a walking my but off.

My surgery is July 22nd. Having it done in Albany, NY. Anxious and nervous. As with anything just not sure what to expect post op. How to you plan meals around activities, and just pull everything together? Has anyone found any really useful tools in helping with a food diary or anything other means to track all that we need to track post op?

My fitness pal is an app and a online program. Great for tracking, we learned about it and had to use it in our preclasses

Hi Nina! My surgery is on the 23rd also! But I am going to TJ Mexico to have mine done. Have you started your pre op diet yet?

Hi Texas Jess, ????good luck on your surgery and I hope you can soak up some that Mexican sun beforehand. I have not started my pre-op diet, have you? And how is it like? I see my suergon for my last meeting this Thursday, so I'm sure he will give It to me then. I have done all my tests and I'm as healthy as a big girl can be, lol. Thank God???????? I'm a self pay and I wish my insurance would have covered it but I pay them for nothing...smh????oh well . I'm blessed that I have this new opportunity. Keep me posted and good luck chica

Looking for other July Sleevers! Let's help each other through this journey. I see my surgeon July 1st and if everything goes well my nurse said surgery date of July 14th. I am self pay. I checked into having the sleeve done in Mexico but decided to have it done here in Montana. I have checked into a couple of other places but really love the facility that I will be having it done at. It's been quite an adventure to say the least. I would love to share this time with fellow sleevers.

Hello Fearnot , my surgery date is also July 14th. I have been lurking reading all the threads but felt I should comment and get into the middle of things as there are only 6 days and 1 hour left now. Glad you have shared your story so far. Can't wait to get this done and begin eating for life instead of living for eating.
