It's almost here! The nerves have finally hit me and I have begun counting down the hours. I'm still super excited just a little nervous. How is everyone else feeling? I can't wait to come back here after surgery and see how everyone is doing! I'm so glad we have this board. The support, encouragement and advice we get from everyone here is amazing! Good Luck to everyone!

Nustyle, Can you add me too...my name on Facebook is Siobhan Sweeney. Thanks!

The nerves haven't hit me yet...I'm sure they will but right now I'm still anxious and excited!

Welcome! I am being sleeved on the 18th as well.

I believe it is a requirement. I found out I had mild apnea and they were pretty insistent that I get a CPAP and wouldn't sign off on the surgery until I was able to use it through the night.

Good luck!!

Had my pre op this morning. Having surgery in 7 days!! Can't wait.

Well if it's super secret how am I supposed to find it lol?

Hi All, I have been lurking on this board since I made the decision in April to be sleeved. I will be having surgery on July 18th! I am so excited! I am on this board so often and have learned so much about what to expect and what to prepare for. I'm feeling very confident and ready for surgery! I look forward each day to see how everyone is doing after their surgery and love hearing about everyone's successes! I am inspired by you all! S

I had my first initial appointment with the Dr. at the beginning of May. I was approved by insurance the last week in June (approved in 3 days!). After that I was given a surgery date of July 18th. In between all of that I had a ton of appointments. One thing I would recommend is that you find out if you have sleep apnea as soon as possible. I started that process a month before my first appointment and that was the last thing we were waiting on before I could get my surgery date. Good Luck!

I'm getting sleeved by Dr. Billing this month as well. Can't wait! My experience with Puget Sound has been great. Everybody I have been in contact with there has been wonderful...

July 18th So very excited!

Nope.

I have United Healthcare Choice Plus and was approved in 3 days. I did not have to do a 6 month supervised diet either. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought for sure I was going to have issues. S
