Impatiently waiting...June sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hello there again, sounds like everyone is moving along, good luck to you all. I spoke to my Doctors office today and they sent everything over to my insurance company, so now we are just waiting for the approval and my actual surgery date. I got butterflies today :)

How exciting! Keep us posted :)

I just looked at my on-line medical chart and was surprised to see that my insurance company has already approved my sleeve. Yup. At 10:35 am today there was a phone call with my insurance company, and it says that "Patty" has approved my sleeve.

I keep logging in and looking at it just to be sure it says what I think it says. I had no idea that the paperwork had been filed already, but then again, I've heard that my insurance company is very easy to work with. Clearly.

Hi Everyone,

I am Dawn (aka DisneyDreaming) and I am scheduled for my sleeve on June 24th. This is assuming that my sleep apnea doctor gets everything done one time. I am also a self pay so it has gone pretty quick, once I pulled the trigger and picked where I wanted to have surgery. There are two in my area and I have been researching for 2 years to make sure this is what I wanted to do. I have meet with my surgeon and had my EKG. I have my psych visit on the 22nd. The NUT and fitness eval will be on the 4th of May.

A bit about myself..I have been married 23 almost 24 years and have 3 teenagers at home. I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest Washington. I

Finished the 6 months in December. I am a teacher and can't have my surgery until the summer. Yes, the waiting has been awful! Can't wait, but still kind of scared of the unknown.

Sounds rough, but then you will have a whole summer to work on YOU and your recovery so that's probably the best way it could have worked out ^_^ Good luck!

I started my journey in November 2013 but then my father passed and then my health went down im finally finished with EVERYTHING and I can't wait!

Do you guys use the phone app or use the full computer version?

I ask because when I am on my phone (Samsung Galaxy), I can't see when there have been replies to topics as easily as when I am on my computer. The features like using the @ to mention in a comment doesn't work on my phone and I can only view a members gallery photos and details when on my computer but not on my phone. Perhaps it is user error? :) Or, do you have to join VIP to get those features on your phone?

      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.
