Cleared for Surgery!
July 13, 2017
Happy birthday to me, folks! I’m 45 today and my present was that I got the call I’ve been working towards for 6 months, since January: my insurance company has cleared me for the bariatric gastric sleeve surgery I’ve been talking about.
In fact, I’m likely to get the surgery in about two weeks, before the end of the month, or soon after that. In preparation I need to start a strict “pre-op” diet consisting of protein shakes and nothing else except possibly celery. That means no coffee until a couple of weeks after surgery, and no carbonated beverages for pretty much the rest of time.
Wish me luck, friends! I’m super psyched.

By the Banach-Tarski theorem, if the smaller stomach doesn’t work out, you can reassemble the bits into a bigger one. 🙂 Best of luck!

No carbonated beverages, eh? Must be do the procedure you’re having-I know many VBG+RNY folks have no problem at all with ’em….

Good luck. Please let us know how your surgery goes. I have a friend who has also had surgery and lost weight. I need to loose weight also, but – do not qualify for the procedure. I’m trying to get exercise and eat less calories. I’m not doing well as it is much easier for me to gain weight.
