Hello. I started my process for my sleeve 4/2/2014. I will be having my surgery around September 9 or 10th. I have to do a 4 week diet starting in August. I also have to have my EGD 8/1/2014 and a vascular study 7/29/31. I am so excited and ready for this life changing experience. My doctor's office should be submitting my packet for approval by Monday. I would love a buddy too. I am in VA.

Hi Nika I am also in VA, possibly with surgery being done mid August early September I will know this week after my pcp sends his clearance to my surgeon's office

I'm a little nervous- my medical weight management appt is on Tuesday. I'm only about 10 pounds down from my appt in April- the reason is I've just started to modify diet and exercise- my bmi was 42.2, so I didn't want to go in full mode of watching everything and lose too much before they even submit to insurance.

I feel like I'm doing very mindful eating, cut out pop ( huge coke fan, and I haven't had for about 5 weeks).

I do so much better M-F, weekends are hard to stay on task-

I think that I can have another 10 off before pre-op diet starts-

It would be great to have 25 pounds off before surgery?

What pre surgery goals are you Sept sleeves working towards?

Hi all! I'm booked for sleeving on 15th September... I'm from Queensland, Australia.

It's all happened very quickly for me, I only started this journey in May. I have been very fortunate.

Good luck everyone!

I'm hoping for a September date. I'm working through an 8 week skills class required by the surgeon. In 2 weeks they'll submit for insurance approval but I won't get a date until the class ends on September 9th. I'm hoping for the end of the month.

      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.
