I'm getting sleeved Sept 17. I have 120 lbs to lose. I thought it would be good to have some friends going through the samething. Let me know..

Hi Everyone!

My scheduled surgery is Sept. 14 at 9:30. I am so, so excited! Good luck to everyone and I'll keep in touch!

Hi everyone... Insurance approved my band removal but denied my sleeve. Immediately sent in appeal (I love my surgeon's office and the nurses there) with paperwork and proof of long attempts at exercise program, eating program, support groups, etc.... and feel confident they will come back with an approval! Positive vibes please if you can spare some? THANKS!!!

:thumbup1::svengo::svengo:good vibes headed your way!

Positive thoughts to you Jordien!!! I have my fingers and toes crossed for you!!

Hey everyone! Still doing good on my pre-op diet! I can feel the carb cravings going away, and today I am down exactly 7 Lbs. from the start. Whoohoo!! I'm feeling really good and I can feel the weight just melting off.

Can't wait for my surgery! Just about a week and a half to go.

I went for my pre-op yesterday and they upped my surgery to 9/15/2010. So I will be sleeved in 12 days. Wow it almost feels real now. I started my liquid diet today. Unjury really isn't that bad so far.

Good luck to everyone.

well as you all know, my surgery is scheduled for sept 17th. i just got a call today from drs office.... listen to this... because the dr got JURY DUTY on sept 17-thats MY DAY!! ughhhhhh soo dr is trying to get out of it (and has before) but they wont know til the day before (sept 16th) at 7pm! i live 3-4 hrs away and planned on being at the hotel at that time! I CANNOT believe this &^$%$# what do you think? arent sugeons exempt from jury duty? I am so sad, I've waited for this since January, had to put it on hold due to hysterectomy, and now this....

I had my surgery 8/31..so I'm on day 4. I'm tired and sore but actually feel better than I thought I would. Let the journey begin!

CalgaryGirl THANK YOU!!!

Determined... that's awful! I really hope they work it out in the next few days and are able to let you know.

tdov... I don't mind the unjury at all! I sneak a half scoop of unflavored into my coffee in the morning!

Prila.... glad you're feeling okay!!

Aww that stinks!!! :cursing:

Is there any way you can convince them to reschedule you sometime soon? I mean you are going to travel all that way and spend money on traveling that may not even need to happen - they should be able to take that into consideration...???

Hi everyone,

I'm having my gastric sleeve surgery on the 22nd of September. Feeling very nervous now that I finally have a date!
