any November 2017 sleevers?

[klibra1018 4]

Hey everyone,
I got the phone call yesterday that I was approved and I have my surgery date November 21st. I am excited and a little nervous because it is actually happening!

Hi! I have a Nov 6th date! I am excited, nervous, apprehensive, and all of the above! I am in the liquid phase diet and can’t believe it’s here!

I'm so sad [emoji20] They are pushing my surgery back until Dec 4th because their office is so disorganized. I switched insurance Sept 1 and notified the office. The insurance company rep even called the office and got everything straight for me. I verified that my surgeon was in network and vsg was covered etc. I've had 3 appointments since then and even verified with the bariatric coordinator that I had switched insurances and what the insurance rep had told me at my pre op appointment. She scheduled me for Nov 14th and I was so excited. She called me yesterday to tell me that my (old) insurance wouldn't allow me to have surgery in my state. So she bumped me off the schedule. I am so mad at the office. Firstly, why did they let me spend nearly a year doing their program when my (old) insurance would have been denied. I'm confused on that a little since I has previously called old insurance at the start of the program and they said they covered what I was wanting to do. Anyway,When she called me yesterday, I again told her that I have a new insurance as of Sept 1 and told her the front office had my info and that I had already personally talked to her about it. I am just very sad my surgery is delayed. The surgeon needs to get his office together. It is like an assembly line in there and obviously they don't communicate very well.

Oh my. So sorry to hear. Hang tight and have faith!!! You’ve made it this far!!!

Hello Everyone!!!! Am in Florida and am scheduled for Nov 8th. My liquid diet starts Oct 26th... one more day and the clock starts ticking. I’ve spent most of my day looking for liquid diets. I don’t want to fail.... this is a huge thing for me (I can only assume, for all of you as well) and I tend to get frustrated quick when it comes to food. If anyone has any recipes, please send my way.

I haven’t started and am grumpy already. Omg, this is going to be a very harsh experience for me. For many years, I’ve used food as an escape; the one thing that would not look at me weird and made me feel soooo good. Now, that is gone and am starting to freak out. I went grocery shopping today and purchase sugar free Jello and pudding and Soups to make at home (creamy soups) in order to not get bored and run to eat something I shouldn’t. What Dr. is performing your surgery? Best of luck to you.

Dr Richard Follwell in Stuart FL where do you live? Food is the same for me. I'm definitely a food addict and it's always been my "high" my friend just had surgery a few months ago and she ate so
Much food before surgery and said now she doesn't have the desire, I hope it's the same for me! One positive I've lost 9 lbs in 3 days lol

November 20th for me also. Doctor here requires 28 day liquid 1 /1/2 days down.

Yay same as me! Wow 28 how is it going? I want to start tomorrow but I don't know what stops me. My doctor only requires a week but I want to do more for better outcome. What liquid diet you doing?

Oh, man. I'm so sorry! Hopefully they can just resubmit and approve quickly for you. I cannot imagine how are feeling right now but I'm sending good thoughts your way. Good luck!
