I would like to schedule my surgery for the first full week in March once my insurance is approved, any other March Sleevers in the building?

Hi all, I decided to go through this post and try to make a list of people getting it done and the day they are doing it, in case you'd like to make a buddy. I did my best to include everyone. I didn't include anyone who had tentative days, or days they were 'hoping for'. Sorry if I left anyone out. Feel free to take it and edit it if I made any mistakes.

Are ya'll telling everyone you're getting it done' date=' telling just a handful of friends/family, or keeping it completely secret? I've told about 10 ppl total. I just don't feel like advertising it all over FB etc. I don't really want to open myself up to potential negativity, you know? I'm sure once I drop all this weight within the first few months (6 months, 8 months, whatever) people will be asking how. I will probably tell the ones who specifically ask but I'm not going to be running around screaming the news.[/quote']

I posted on here asking the same question. So far I've told my parents, 3 sisters, long time boyfriend and my 2 very best friends, my Grandmother and my closest cousin. I don't plan on telling anyone else. I'm only 26 and I live in a town where everyone loves to gossip, the last thing I need is to be the topic of conversation. I'm luckily all the important people in my life have been nothing but supportive! Wishing you the best of luck!

KanesMom,

Hopefully when you are the topic of converstation it will be because you are looking so fabulous!

And thanks BigDaddyJoe for putting together the list! Looks like we are on the same day!! I am trying to keep everyone straight. I start my pre op diet on my Friday your Thursday ( I am on the other side of dateline)!

Hi pacificpeach, yes, it looks like we are on the same day! I feel so in the minority on here being a man. Is it that less men get the surgery, or less men are on the forum? Anyway, my doctor only requires a one week pre-op diet. I wonder why there are so many variations as to how long they want you to diet before?

Great list, bigdaddy! Thanks!! Kanesmom, I live in a VERY small town also. People usually know what everyone is doing before that person even knows it. Haha!

My surgery is scheduled for March 15th. Any others out there? I would love a buddy to tell war stories to and I have great listening skills for anyone who wants to rant.

I'm march 14 too

I have completed all my testing except pre-op. I am scheduled to be sleeved March 15! I hope to lose 100 lbs, but mainly I hope to improve my health.

Kodies mom, we are all here for you if you need to rant im 3 days before you, so we can share war stories if you want, im more than happy to share.

I am still hoping for March 13th. My pal Ashley at the Dr. Office Started submitting paperwork to the insurance company this week. So she says. We'll see! I'm getting so excited! Had an upper endoscopy Wednesday. Worst experience ever!! Blahhhh!!! But staying positive!

Thanks! I plan on bringing my iPad with me to the hospital to keep in touch with everyone.

I cant wait till march 5 and get this show on the road. This month is going by so slow for me. I cant wait to get the approval letter maybe that will make it go faster. Lol

March 8th with Dr. Elariny at Fairfax Hospital.

Just got approved today. Surgery date is March 11. In so excited.
