I have my last Dr appointment then will get my date. Hope it is in September. I too was worried about my Dr signing off.

He was actually on the mean side. Said why do that to your body? You will just be back here in 5 years the same size as you are now! I broke down in tears.... I've been obese for years and my records show it. I've tried every diet....every pill....hypnotized ...HCG shots etc... Then I got mad. He told me how he and his wife get up at 5:30 every day to workout. I had to remind him he's not obese.... When I told my surgeons nurse what my Dr said, she said it was time for a new Dr. I agree only I'll wait until after the surgery ! Anyway, got my letter and I am full steam ahead !!

Good for you! Don't allow others to judge you! YOU do what's best for YOU! You can and will move forward!!

WOW...WOW...WOW

I can't believe your Doctor said that to you.

My primary care doctor has been AMAZING!!!! He helped me through my 6 month supervised weight loss for the insurance approval and has always been a strong encourager! He is the one who told me to go to this Weight Loss Center to begin with.

I check in next week Wed. September 9th at 8:30a.m. There are four of us having surgery that day.

I am excited now, very excited.

You will get through this and I would encourage you to let your Doctor know how he made you feel.

It seems like it has taken forever to get here but here I am! September 3rd! I leave at 4:00 a.m. for the hospital.

Excited. A wee bit nervous and I haven't slept a wink. Instead I have been cleaning my house! LOL

But I wanted to thank all of you for joining me on this journey and participating in this post. I have met some fantastic people along the way. Thank you for that!!!!

I will see you all on the other side! <3 <3 <3

I am an August sleeve my husband got sleeved today. We are excited about this journey together. I am having trouble understanding what the new full feeling is. I don't really get hungry but when I eat I don't feel full. Might not be eating enough. I have gotten pain in left side when eating. I think that is my sign that I am full. Might not be.

My schedule is scheduled for September 17th. My insurance is PAI. They don't require 3 month monitoring or a sleep study. I did have to get the psych done, take behav mod class, see a dietician and get surgical clearance. I just started my preop diet today and it was kinda tough with just being in liquids but I'm determined! My birthday is September 12th so HBD to me!

      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.
