Recommended Posts

So just found out that I will have my last of 12 months appt (phone call) with my insurance on May 1st. All of my documents can be sent in for approval after that. So I'm hoping to have my surgery by the end of May!!!!! Soooooo can't wait! It's killing me! lol

That's awesome!! I know that has to feel amazing to have a better idea of when everything should take place!!

The unknown is driving me nuts as well.. I'm so ready.. I should be ready to submit everything end of this month.. hopefully March I'll be on my way!!

Good stuff ladybug!! Keep pushing!!

I know how you feel. I'm 5'6" and I weigh 275. I have horrible back, knee, foot and side pain. I hate going anywhere that I know I will be walking alot, because I KNOW I will be in pain. I work in a classroom with 2 yr olds, I can no longer squat down to talk to them and I don't know if it feels worse or LOOKS worse when I get up/down on the floor to play with them. I have no confidance, I let people treat me like crap because I guess I don't feel likenI deserve better. I feel that I haven't even LIVED yet, and I am 44 yrs old. I AM READY TO START LIVING!!!!

Have you had surgery??? I wish I could do it sooner, but I have the Summers off and I want as much time as possible to get used to the changes. I hope I gain the confidance I need to quit my job and tell them exactly WHY!!!! I HATE the way I LET people treat me here.

Hey! I'm hoping for surgery (sleeve) in March/April 2017. My current weight is 240. I just completed my 2nd Nutrionist visit & 2nd Support group! I have an apt for the Cardiologist next week. And I have the education seminar January 6th, I will also be getting a date for surgery that same week!!!!

At first it felt like this process was going to take forever 6 months sounded so long but the time starts to go by! Can't believe I'm almost 3 months away from a new life I'm so anxious.

Wish you the best on your journey!

My last NUT was the 15th. All appts and blood work are completed. Now it's time to submit all paperwork to my insurance company and wait for approval. Crossing my fingers for a February surgery date. I can't wait.

Loving Me

On the 21st all be all finished with my appointments. Just the social worker for the surgeon left. Then I hope I can schedule with the surgeon and submit to insurance. I'm getting closer and getting a bit more scared that I will go through all this for nothing. I hate that they can deny in the second stage too. But Ill be happy not to have a butt ton of appointments to go to every week!

      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.
