I'm in Missouri; sleeved 5 days ago on Jan 31. I can't believe how good I feel after five days; i'm able to get down the Protein & Water without any issues. Best decision ever!

That is me to a tee. I am 5 months from my surgery date. My insurance requires 6 month phone counseling. I have had 2. I have meet with GP and have my psych appt. coming up in 2 weeks. Am really excited and nervous. Afraid I won't be approved and I will be heartbroken. Have you had your surgery? What stage are you in?

I am 5' 2.75"

High weight was 224 in October, which put me at 40 BMI, to qualify for surgery with no comorbidities.

Surgery weight was 221.6 on 1/26/17.

1 week post-op official weigh-in was 213.8 on 2/2/17.

Current weight around 211.

Days 1&2 were miserable, I could barely swallow a tablespoon of broth and a tablespoon of Gelatin each day. I got up and walked the hospital halls for 10-20 minutes about six times each day.

Day 3 was much better and I've been getting my Proteins (60-120 grams) and liquids (64-100 ounces) in every day since day 4. I was doing 5 minute walks around the house at the start of every waking hour until my post-op appointment. Now I'm working out 3x/day, usually two 20-minute walks plus one 40-minute workout with weights.

Oh, and my insurance is Medica, my plan just required 1 visit with dietician at least 30 days before surgery, psychological clearance, plus being either 40 BMI, or 35 if you have specific comorbidities (diabetes, etc)

@@kimber111 If you are logged in you should see "quote" on the bottom in line with the "report" button. The only time I don't see that is if I've somehow wound up logged out!

Let me know if that helps!
