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. Sending positive thoughts your way x

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.

May 2nd for me, I start the liquid diet April 18th. Feeling calm about it right now.

May 2 for me too My surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet, just high Protein low carb. I'm feeling a bit nervous tho.

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!

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.
