August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

[Chubrubgirl 1]

Chubrubgirl. -- where in Baltimore are you having Your surgery? Mine will be at GBMC. Hopefully in late July or early August.

I am at Franklin Square. I would have chosen GBMC if it were closer. That is where I had my children and love that hospital. How have you likes your experience there thus far? Fr Sq has been AMAZING.

If everything goes according to plan, I should be an August sleever! I finish my six month diet the end of June, but my company's schedule rules out July as an option. So unless I have a hiccup with insurance (and I doubt I will), I should have a date mid-August.

And Marley, welcome to the forums! When I first started considering WLS, I absolutely ruled out the sleeve since it's not reversible. But after doing a lot of research and talking with my surgeon, I think it's the best option for me. Since you have a medical background, you have a leg up on a lot of us here. Roam the threads and you'll pick up a lot of great information. Good luck!

Hi Ladies! I've just gotten Ins. approval and am now scheduled for Aug 13th. It's being done by Dr. Collier in Conroe, Tx (just north of Houston). I was excited but now that it's "real" I'm having a lot of anxiety and second guesses! Not worried that I won't be able to do the work, just worried something will go wrong with the surgery. Now after reading your posts I'm feeling better - glad you're all here!

GBMC is great. While Franklin square is closer to me, too my insurance BCBS Fep did not support it. Good luck on your surgery!

Congrats on your date! your two days after me I kind of know what to expect, i've been in constant contact with some fellow posters that i've become close friends with so they're kind of letting me follow beside them during their journeys so i know whats going on , or whats going to happen. Do you have any specific questions we can help you with???
