Ok all, I've created a closed group on Facebook called "BP August 2016" so please do a search for it and you can join! A closed group means that anyone can search for it and see who's in it, but all posts are private. I've kept the group name vague and I won't write a description for those who are not comfortable openly sharing their journey with everyone on their Facebook (like me!). After we have enough members we can discuss maybe making the group entirely private, but that would mean we couldn't be found in a search and others would need to request to join in here, rather than on facebook.
So, yay! Come join! Let's keep in touch and cheer each other on!

Would anyone want to do a private Facebook group for August so that we can keep in touch and support each other? I can make one if so

I am scheduled for surgery on August 16th. I feel like my insurance works backwards. I have to chose the surgeon, get all the tests and appointments, get a date, and then they review the claim for approval. They just spent 7k on a whole bunch of appointments.

Just got my date today. August 22.... My family was supposed to be away for my husband's 50th that week so I am trying to see if they can make it earlier - but at this point even if I miss the family vacation I'll be doing this thing

I have a tentative date of August 3. My MD wanted to schedule me for 7/18, but I can't be off work this month. I hope they confirm that date this week. I am very excited, but a little scared as well.

Aug 3rd here. Had my cardiologist appt yesterday and he told me this is the best decision I could have made. He said we discussed it several years ago and glad I'm finally taking the plunge. Very reassuring to hear that from him.

Hi everybody!
My name is Laura I am from Albany, NY
I’m scheduled to have surgery August 3rd! I am going with the sleeve. I have been experiencing lots of anxiety. I find myself reading everything I can about pre/post-surgery. I’m also having strange surgery dreams. LOL! I never had any operations or procedures before I decided to have the surgery. I know everyone’s experience is different. I still have to meet with the cardiologist next week and after that just my H&P with the doctor. I am looking forward to meeting people on here so I don’t feel so alone in this process. Thanks everyone for letting me vent!

I'm August 11th as well... congratulations and good luck. Sent from my 831C using the BariatricPal App

August 8th for me!
