    Mine is August 19th. My insurance won't cover this so it seems to have been a very short time since I made the decision to have the surgery. I started the process last week of May. I'm not sure what else I have to do before the surgery. I have a three hour appointment on August 3 where I guess I'll be told all the details.

    August 19th here too. I start liquid diet August 5th

    I am so excited! Surgery in the USA. I'm in Illinois. Mine is approved through insurance. I am a revision of sorts. I had a failed lapband that came out in December.

    I live in Tampa Florida but my procedure will be done in Plant City, FL. My surgeon the head surgeon and he will be using the da Vinci robotic device for surgery. I'm very confident in my surgeon but I'm still scared. I keep telling myself that the good outweigh the bad and the longer I remain morbidly obese the sooner I may die and not see my three small children again. If you don't mine me asking, why did the lapband fail? I didn't choose it because I didn't want something left inside my stomach.

    I just finished up my 5th of 6 months supervised diet. just waiting until the last visit on July 29th and they will submit. getting pretty pumped! I'm used to eating 5-6 times a day, now I am trying to wait to drink after meals and sipping Water. I feel like I am ready for the BIG change to come!

    That's awesome! I'm so ready too! Good luck to us all!!

    Congratulations! My process started in October too! Do you have a surgery date yet? :)

    Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

    My pre-op appointment is on July 25th unless there is a cancellation and the lady who I spoke with said my surgeon is really good with setting appointments two weeks after pre-op appointment so we'll see once I see him on the 25th. Hopefully someone cancels and I'll come in sooner lol. Do you have a surgery date?

    Sounds great, good luck! Mine is on August 1st. I met the all the goals and requirements in April, and they were already booked until August! Apparently the surgeon doesn't have many surgery days. It's been a long wait trying to stay good!

    It sure has been a long wait but we are almost at the end! I'm assuming that I'll have surgery in August as well. Crossing my fingers that someone cancels though lol. Either way I'm so happy!

    I live alone, so I don't know if I snore or have sleep apnea. I told my doctor, I don't think I do, so she did not order a sleep study. But, what if I do?

    I would freak out wearing one of those masks at night that help you breath. I am severely claustrophobic and I toss and turn all night. I sleep on my side too, never my back.

    Is anyone else having some of these issues too?

    I think you should have a sleep study done just in case. Ask to have an at home sleep study. I did because it was more convenient for me and it's cheaper for the insurance company. I have sleep apnea and I got a mask that was comfortable for me (nasal mask) I didn't like the other mask that covered nose and mouth I felt like I was suffocating lol.

    Like the others, I am proud of you for not giving away your power.

    Friends are expensive and family is messy.

    What are they going to say when you lose the next 50 pounds?

    Family is messy. I've had family (my children's family from their fathers side) say that they hope that I stay fat or that I'll just gain all of the weight back after surgery. They can't stand it when I become successful in anything. But they consider me "family" smh.
