I have finished all of the pre-auth requirements for insurance purposes and the doctor office is sending everything up tomorrow. Once that comes back (hopefully as approved) then I will have two weeks of Pre-op diet of nothing but the Protein Shakes. (and a few baby carrots and a very small amnt of broth)
I am super nervous about this whole process. I started gaining weight because of PCOS and having that causes me to not be able to lose the weight either. I know that everyone says that the Gastric Sleeve will help tremendously with people with PCOS, but I am afraid that I will be the minority and it won't work. I am a 36 years old female that is 5'2 and weigh 205 pounds. I have sleep apnea, so I am never truly rested because my CPAP machine bothers me. I want more energy, and I don't want my back and joints to hurt all of the time. I am tired of having everything I wear be so tight that it hurts. I want to be able to bend over and not have all of the blood circulation be cut off and this might be a little TMI, but I want to be able to take a shower and not feel like I am performing yoga just to reach all of my body parts!! I have tried every diet known to man and exercised like a mad woman and not lost a pound. I know that being sleeved will be difficult, but I am ready...I just hope insurance says yes.
