Any April/May 2016 sleevers?



Recommended Posts

SO EXCITED! I just got my surgery date today, April 25th! It seems like is has been forever; but only 4 months. Now it is just weeks away. I am having my surgery in Ft. Wayne IN. I am on a 1200 cal diet now, no liquid diet for me. I have seen there are a couple on here for the same day, so glad to have a couple buddies along the journey.

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.

My surgery is scheduled for 16th May. I could have opted for 1st April but I needed additional time to get together the gap fees. I don't know how it works in the US but here in Australia there's a gap between what the Health Cover pays and the total fees. I'm very nervous about it all on account of my age, I am 67. I'm 5' 4" and weigh 110 kgs, about 240 lbs. My surgeon wants me to get to 65 to 70 kgs which just seems to be a joke at the moment. I can't remember the last time I was 70 kgs. I have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, my greatest hope is that my diabetes goes into remission.

Hey cathy!

Im also getting sleeved a couple days after you... and we are at similar starting weight!

So i completely understand how you are feeling.

Im totally freaking out since its so close!

My surgery will be in May. I see the NUT one last time on April 11th and then my surgeon will schedule my date, submit to insurance and then on to pre op diet. I can't wait, my body is aching and tired of this excessive weight....omg

I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling just now and my thoughts and hopes are with you. Try and stay positive as difficult as that maybe, it’s a setback for sure but look at it this way, thanks to your decision to have this elective surgery the mass was discovered. Please let us know how everything goes.

Hi there, I'm in Perth with Dr Kevin Dolan doing my surgery. It's scary indeed, I really just want to get on with it now. I've got my dieticians appointment in a couple of weeks so I guess it will feel more real then.

      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.
