I am April 19th for my surgery! Approaching quickly.

Congrats and glad you are doing so well!

good luck on your surgery tomorrow. Will look forward to your updates after surgery.

Prayers to you for a safe surgery and speedy recovery. We will be looking for your posts after surgery.

Rest in peace Fred. Prayers to your family and to anyone you touched.

Thank you for the link, it was very informational!

So sorry you had to postpone. Time will pass quickly.

It is so devasting when there is a bump in the road to having surgery. I started coughing and wheezing on Wed night. I am so concerned I may have bronchitis again. I have asthma and it is definitely acting up. I feel terrible and I am so worried this could impact my surgery. However my pre-op is on 4/1 so hopefully I can get over this. Good luck schristine with getting your surgery done.

I too check it often for support.

Definitely bringing my own toiletries. U have such allergies I don't want to flare up causing a sneezing fit. The room also has a leather recliner so I am bringing extra warm blankets due to concerns with chilling post surgery.

Not sure what your insurance is or the reason for the denial, but I would definitely appeal. You have gone so far to reach where you are and the insurance may automatically deny one each first attempt.

This thread has been so helpful. I am having my sleeve surgery within the US, but due to I live greater then 50 miles from the hospital that I have my surgery they require I spend one night at a hotel contracted with the bariatric unit. I have to pack to include the overnight at the hotel to ensure I have the necessities. I am now going to focus on the Mexico sleevers posts to help make my list. Thanks for this great site!

Good luck today and look forward to your update. I have my surgery on 4/19 and am excited to reach the other side!

I so agree the nervous part of the process will probably be the week before surgery. I have my surgery date for 4/19/13. I have to weigh in on 4/1/13 and take a post op course. I have met my weight requirement and will be so thankful to get my weight in complete. Good luck!
