I'm 44 and getting sleeved on Monday. I've lost 50 lb on my own. I feel like this is the perfect time in my life to do it. Reading all of your comments is so encouraging! Thanks for sharing your journey!

Oct 1 for me! I had my pre-op class and pre-op clinic appt today. I started my pre-op diet yesterday, it's high protein/low carb. It started rough but it's better today. 12 days to go!

Hello! I am scheduled for Oct. 1. I am trying not to freak out. reminding myself of all that @CrankyMagpie just wrote...but reason doesn't always outweigh my fear.

Thank you so much for this info about calling in. When I read this my spidy senses kicked in, I decided to call and low and behold, they are waiting for something from the dr. office. I just sent a very matter of fact email to the coordinator asking what is the hold up on their end. Always be your own advocate!

Everything has been submitted to my insurance company. I have the endoscopy scheduled for aug. 28. I am thinking that I will be scheduled for late Sept. I have been eating so much better. I've lost some weight and people keep asking, " why are you having the surgery then?" I have to keep repeating for them and myself because I need this tool to keep it off. Cheers Sept Sleevers!

I've had 2 done since March. Each time, I went straight to work from the sleep center. It was pretty easy. Uncomfortable with the wires, monitors and the CPAP, the second time I was in. The info they gather is very useful.
