September here I come!

I will finish my 12 month monitored weight coach in August. I'm hoping to have a September surgery date.

I'm getting anxious/excited! My surgeon says I don't have to do a pre-op diet, so I'm thankful for that. However, I do plan to do very low carb/high Protein the week prior to help with shrinking my liver.

I've got 2 more supervised diet appointments and I'm supposed to see a sleep specialist to determine if I need a sleep study.

Hey all! Looks like my surgery will be in September also! I finish all my appts in July but I'm going on vaca end of August so I'll have to do the surgery in Sept. I'm anxious beyond belief!

Congratulations! At first I thought it seemed so far away and now...the next 6 weeks is going to fly. Between vacations, company picnics and my daughter starting school - I hope I stay busy enough not to worry about it.

I am booked for a sleeve with Dr. Valenzuela on September 10th. I need a lose a bit of weight beforehand but I think I can do it easily. It's only about 10 lbs. :)

I only have one more supervised diet appoitnment with my pcp (the end of August), my psyc eval (next week) and my sleep study (this weekend) and we can submit to insurance! I'm so nervous/excited/anxious!!! The reality that this could happen in the next 2 months is sinking in!

Anyone else have a sleep study? They suspect I may have mild apnea. I'm hoping it's mild enough to count as a main co-morbidity for me but not bad enough for me to use a cpap machine. I have lots of co-morbidities, but as of now, none of the main 3 my insurance looks for (high bp, diabetes, apnea).

I'm sept 25th! :) congrats to u on ur monitor diet completion!!

Getting closer. I saw the nutritionist Friday and she checked my A1c, which is 7.8%. She told me it had to be 7 or below for surgery. :( I'm working on trying to get it to come down.

U got this :) sooo close. Hang in there!!

Moving closer to surgery date. Already had sleep study and will find out results on Friday. Hope to have all clearances before September 1st.

I have a sleep study just for a consult i hope that i don't have tO do the actually sleep study ugg

I had the inital consult on Monday and the dr said she thinks it's worth doing the sleep study especially since it is very important for the anesthesiologist to know prior to surgery if I have apnea. She did say if I had it, she thinks it is mild but we won't really know unless I have the study. Hopefull you won't have to have the actual study done. I heard it isn't too bad. But I guess I will see first hand soon!

I enjoyed the sleep study lol I have twin 3 yr olds. Mini vacay!!! :)

Sept 16th here!

Worst night sleep ever for me! Glad it is over! Finding out the results tomorrow.

My sleep study last night was terrible too! I didn't sleep much at all!!! I maybe got 3 hours at the most. And they never hooked me up to the cpap machine so I'm assuming I don't have apnea.... but the tech couldn't say. I guess I'll have my results within the next week or so. I'm exhausted today!

Me too! September 10th with Dr. Kelly in Tijuana :). What about you?

I

Is ur surgery at mi doctor? Im having surgery on the 11th at mi doctor with Dr. Ortiz in tj
