debbie89 93 Posted April 2, 2018 5/11 over here! I'm so ready and nervous at the same time. Just keep telling myself I'll feel so much better in 6 months. I'd rather deal with some stomach discomfort than heave ho this fat through life. 9 1 Neon Star, ladydreadheadki, sportsmommy74 and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmileyMay 44 Posted April 2, 2018 Yes!!! Let's do this! I just had my band removed months ago. Surgeon wanted everything to heal well, so I have been patiently waiting for the sleeve. My surgery date is May 2nd! My insurance approved the surgery in 1 day after it was submitted. I was totally shocked being that the insurance was from the "Obama Care"So now after having gone through surgery twice, (once to put in band and once to take it out) I'm preparing for the post op period again. Toilet seat riser was a must for me! I also rented a small hospital bed from my local pharmacy which helped me tremendously with band post op and getting in and out of bed. Also don't forget to order your chewable vitamins! I love the Unjury brand. They have everything you need in 1 chewable. 6 dreamangel1974, baribetty, Joann troupe and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luckis32 21 Posted April 5, 2018 Anyone doing anything special before the surgery? Training, changing eating habits, taking a trip, etc? For me, my birthday is next week so I’m going to Barbados. I’ll be back a week or so before I have to start the liquid diet.
