Surgery Date May 19! :-)



Recommended Posts

Hello all! This is my first time posting here on the sleeve forums. I started this whole process on January 8th, and after 4 months of evaluations, tests and screenings, dietician visits and a sponsored diet and exercise program, I have a surgery date set for May 19th and got approved within 24 hours of my request for precertification from Cigna! I am so happy that everything went smoothly and can't wait. Now that it's so close and real, I am very nervous however! I've never stayed in the hospital overnight or had any surgery so I have no idea what to expect. I start my pre op diet in 2 days and have my pre op visit on Wednesday! :) any and all advice on what to do to prepare in the next 2 weeks would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much

Congratulations!

I would suggest you start trying out some Protein drinks and find a few that you like.

Also, if you haven't been walking, you should start now. It will make your recovery easier. Get in about 30 minutes every day if you can.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
