@@DisneyDreaming I'm so sorry that happened to you. If only you knew who that person was, find them and (whether you've had your surgery or not) say "HA! Look at me now, remember me..I think you owe me an apology" and trust me the media heard about the zoo. I was given a free membership for a whole year and I got to go a behind the scenes with the tortoises, I mainly agreed to that because even though that person completely shattered me and the little self esteem I had left, I took both of the things they offered because it is very beneficial for my kids!!!!

I have my prescreen for my EGD on Thursday. I am off work Friday and Monday and I am going to see if I can have it done one of those days so I don't have to take any extra PTO. I hope he can accommodate that. :)

I'm having mine done at the hospital I work at in Rowlett tx. I'm nervous too and didn't get a warm response from my mother. My bmi is 38 but I have sleep apnea and I am prediabetic.

Hey! I'm a nurse in Rowlett also! I'm having mine done in Dallas June 18th!

Checking in! Welcome all new June sleevers!! Woo-hoo!! I'm still hoping and praying I'll be on the loser's bench with the rest of you next month! One week from tomorrow is my final appointment of my six month supervised weight loss appts. required by my insurance. After everything is said and done - my case goes to my surgeon and her medical team to deem if I'm a good candidate for WLS.

Once they approve - it's submitted to insurance - let the waiting game begin!! Hopefully I'll be posting good news in a couple of weeks!!

@@mclorrie, I'm right there with you. Meet with the Drs on May 26th then they will submit to insurance. I haven't even ever been to the weight loss center. They won't see you until everything is done and they're 99% sure you'll be approved. Fingers crossed.

Tomorrow morning is my last appt with my PCP as part of the 3-month medically supervised diet my insurance requires....yikes, why am I getting so nervous about this whole deal??? It seemed like such a great idea 3 months ago, but I can feel my feet getting colder with each passing day. PLUS the stress of it is showing up in my eating so my pre-surgery weight loss has stopped! Gotta get my mojo back!!!

      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.
