Any May Sleevers Yet?

Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone else is looking at having their sleeve surgery this May? It's too early for me to get an actual date, but I'm thinking it will be toward the end of May. How about you?

:)

Hi everyone!

So, I started this thread back in February and today I found out that my insurance approved my surgery. Good news!

But, I don't have a date yet. I totally know what some of you mean when you say that you feel that your life is on hold. I've been waiting for 2-3 weeks (thinking that the doc's office had already submitted my paperwork, but it must have gotten held up somewhere...maybe due to Easter?).

Hoping to still get a date in May...I imagine that I'll find out next week? Hoping to join all of you May Sleevers!!

MAY IS ALMOST HERE!! It's ALMOST OUR TIME! I'm sending best wishes and speedy recoveries to you all! I'll be sure to check back in and let you all know how I'm doing! IM so ready!!
