Purplenerdgirl 5 Posted April 7, 2016 I'm so sad and worried now. I was scheduled to have my surgery on Monday, April 4th. When the dr went in to do my sleeve, he found a large mass attached to the lining on the outside of my stomach. So he wasn't able to do the surgery. I now have to see a gastronologist to have the mass looked at before I can have my sleeve surgery. How scary for for you! Please keep us all posted.

MrsRP 36 Posted April 8, 2016 Hello everyone I've been MIA for a while. But today finally after 8 weeks of submitting my paperwork to the insurance company and being on the pre-op diet for 4 days: my surgery was approved! I'm scheduled for April 18th! So happy. Finally this is really happening! After going back and forth with my insurance company it's all good! It's like I still can't believe it! Woohoo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App I'm due to meet with my surgeon, Dr Varban, next week so I don't know exactly what he's going to recommend for the pre-op diet, the team at University of Michigan have a reputation for being a bit strict though so I'll assume I'm on Water for 2 weeks prior and then it can only get better UoM recommend Unjury Protein Shakes so I ordered and tried a sampler pack; compared to other shakes I've tried e.g. Muscle Milk, Unjury tastes good. I ordered 3 tubs of Protein Shake powder from Unjury yesterday - Orig chocolate, vanilla, and chicken Soup flavors. I've talked to many post-Op people from support group meetings I've attended at UoM, ALL say they have no regrets doing the surgery. Many appear to have lost half their original weight. Good luck!

Good luck and keep in touch.How are you coping so far? Im a big ball of mixed emotions... and being on opti isnt helping much I am doing well. I came to peace with my decision when I decided to do the procedure. What I try to do is find myself imagining myself reaching my goal. What I will look like. What I will feel like. I also imagine doing the things that I will be able to do once I reach my goal and, the effect it will have on people that I love and care for. You also need someone to support you and confide in.
