Hi I am from Philadelphia I am starting this new journey and would like to know if theirs anyone out there in the beginning stages that want to be buddies. I am having my fist appointment on June 2 2017. I have started this all before but because I was missing to much work for appointments I stopped. Now that I found a Dr. Who will let me do all my test but one the same day I see light at the end. I did not tell many people besides my husband and daughter so would like to befriend someone else who is starting out. I am open to others even if already started it will be cool to also know what's ahead.:rolleyes:

I have to do a full six months before getting a surgery date I believe. I was hoping more like three so I wouldn't be down during the holidays..I have the whole gambit of issues from Diabetes high blood pressure, high triglycerides, arthritis and a BMI of 49. I am 53 yrs old 5'2 weight 276. I cant see one reason to not get sleeved.

@DJ Juice 6 months is a long time but I don't see no reason why you shouldn't have it. I will go thru the 6 months with you. I don't have any heath issues I am just fat I like sweets hell I love sweets.

@CaliCozyWozy Sleeve I think this is best for me. The band is not a option.

I dont want to wait the 6 months because I am afraid Trump will take away insurance coverage because of the pre existing conditions crap he pushing so hard. Maybe that will get Wellcare to push it to go faster..lol

@jiminy_cricket congratulations on your date. last year I brought a conversation to my sisters and my mom about maybe getting the sleeve and guess what, they all had something to say. My sister are also over weight and for some reason they think they are a size 2 not. They are just as over weight as me. I am just ready to change. The only one who I can say really support me is my husband and daughter. So this time I am not telling anyone even when I get a date. It will be hard because we are all very close.

      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.
