I just got off the phone with the scheduler - my surgery will be July 12!!!!! The pre-op teaching will now be June 27 instead of the regular followup appt that I had scheduled that day.

Now for the really good news - it's not going to cost me as much as I thought! Originally they told me it would be 17K, but she just told me it would be 15,300 instead (plus the suppliments/vitamins that I have to buy from them - another $150. YAY!!!!

The downside: I have a family reunion that I will be attending in Maryland on July 8 and 9. I won't be able to eat the dinner with the family since I'll be on a 2 week pre-op diet at that time. Oh well, I guess it will give me good practice for life with the sleeve.

Congrats!! Great news on lower price too! The family reunion may be rough, but you can do it!!

Yay, congrats!!

I will save a spot for you on the loser's bench!!

Congrats on your July 12th surgery date! That makes four of us that I know of!

Also congrats on saving some moolah! That's always awesome.

Thanks everyone. It just hit me how fast this is happening. I went to the initial seminar on April 6, had my first appointment with the doc on May 18 and now will have surgery on July 12 (just over 4 weeks away)!

Yup, the emotional roller coaster has begun... LOL

Congrats and good luck to you!!! July 12th will be here before you know it!!

Congrats on the surgery date and the lower price! A lower price is always good news. I hope the time prior to surgery goes quickly for you.

Congrats on getting your date and the price difference!

Thank you everyone. I came to the conclusion that there must be something significant about the 12th. Four years ago, I had back surgery on May 12. Now, I am to have the VSG on July 12. The genealogy trip that I am on - there are 12 participants. There's been a couple of other instances of 12 coming up in my life. I think that will be my new "lucky" number. LOL
