Had all my stuff submitted to insurance for approval on Thursday 5/19. They have 2 weeks to give a response and my surgeons office said they haven't seen denial on anyone who has done everything required and shown pounds lost over the 90 day medically supervised weight loss. Should know by 6/2 when I will have surgery but hoping for the week of June 20 as my kids will be gone for a month and that gives me 4 weeks until they come back and I have to go back to work for a huge audit. Eek!!!! It's getting real!

Hi, group! I'm excited to read about your similarly-timelined journeys, especially once we are all post-op.

I'm in Seattle (same as Farcaster, but I don't know him) and will be getting sleeve surgery locally in approximately late June (no exact date yet).

I began looking at surgery just 10 days ago! Researched the surgeries and surgeons, found out my insurance doesn't cover it, decided it was worth the self-pay, chose a surgeon, did my initial workup 5/18/16, EKG & bloodwork 5/20/16 and have dietician/psych on 5/24/16. Have more classes and the pre-op liquid diet after that. I get to skip endoscopy as well as the sleep study (because I already have a sleep apnea diagnosis). Ditto pre-op proof of dieting failure (because I have years of food logs showing that, sigh). Things do seem to go faster when insurance isn't involved.

Yesterday I did some taste-testing of low-carb Protein drinks, anticipating needs for post-surgery. Costco's Premier Protein (vanilla flavor; I haven't tried the chocolate yet) is actually quite good, whew! Two of the others I tried were simply disgusting, so glad to know I have something that will work.

I also tried, yesterday, to eat low-carb (under 80g) just to see what post-op will be like. Answer: very very difficult without a sleeve to hide hunger. Getting 100g Protein daily is usual for me, but I am used to 50% of my calories being carbs (mostly fruit). I anticipate that reducing carbs will be the hardest part of post-op for me.

What part of "getting sleeved" are you most worried about?

I am very excited and happy about this new chapter! Glad to "meet" you all!

Hi! Nice to "meet" you!

I am more worried about the surgery itself. My biggest worry is once they get inside my abdomen something will prohibit them from doing the actual surgery. I have tried everything in this earth to lose weight and I feel like this is my last chance to be successful! I am using my insurance so I have been preparing for this for the last 6 months. I would be incredibly disappointed if all of my hard work was for nothing. My surgeons office has done an incredible job at making sure I am prepared for my new life after surgery so I am confident I will be successful.

I hope you get a date soon!
