August Sleevers Check In

[jojoreno 62]

Today I was told they are sending my paperwork to insurance in a couple of business days. Well to upper GI at my pre-op appointment. When they get approval I start my liquid diet. This is really going to happen. Excited nervous but this is a good thing I doing for myself.

Good luck to you all. I was August of last year. This has been the best thing I have ever done. I am down to 134.5 pounds as of this morning. I exercise regularly. I have a confidence and esteem I never had before. What I have learned on this journey I have been able to bring to other areas of my life. Life is just getting better and better. I wish you all the same!!

I just got my date today. I am scheduled for August 6. Mostly, I am excited. Yet, a part of me me is anxious because I have such a short window of time before I must return to work. The process of getting approved has been somewhat cumbersome and time-consuming- as I started in June as soon as school let out in hopes of taking advantage of having met met my deductible before year's end (September 1 for teachers) and in hopes of getting it taken care of prior to Staff Development (August 13). Looks like I will only have 1 week to recover. I go in for pre-op appt Aug 1. I'm not sure the reality has set in yet. I think my main question is, "How bad is it really?" I don't want sugar-coated answers. I go to support meetings and people look as though they've had relatively minor problems in contrast to their prior weight issues. Their stories are miraculous to me.

So nervous I can't sleep. Can someone remind me again wat I should take to the hospital? Just wondering how bad it will be I hear stories about bit able to drink enough, the pain and so much more. Since getting my approval I often times have gotten second thoughts.

Day 2 of pre op liquid diet. OMG..... it has just amazed me just how much of my time is taken up with food. Buying it, fixing it and consuming it. I am not hungry, but somehow just don't know what to do with myself in front of the TV. Lovely day here, going to get out and take a walk.

Scheduled for Aug 5th

Good Luck To You

I'm new to this site, I'm thankful to see people saying things I can relate to. I have my insurance approval and am scheduled for VSG on August 6th. Currently on day 5 of the liquid diet, and it's so much harder than I anticipated. I'm starving right now, but I can do this because it will make surgery safer. I've had a few week moments when I've thought about food I'd be eating right now if I wasn't doing this...but this morning I weighed myself and I'm already down 5 lbs. I can do this!
