Any April sleevers?

Today I got the call saying I was approved. Shatty part is I have to wait until April 17 because my surgeon is booked until then. Anyone else looking at April as their month? My stats are 31 year old female 250lbs 5'5". Pant size 20. Lowest weight after dieting was 165lbs. I did ivf and hormone treatment for sometime and gained a significant amount of weight. My procedure will be at Princeton hospital in nj by dr chau

YAY for April sleevers!!!! I am scheduled for April 3rd, I just need to do my psychological evaluation on 2/26!! I am 36, 293 lbs, 5'8 and wear a size 20 or 22. My procedure is with Dr. Bass in Naples, FL. So excited and nervous! Best of luck!!!!

I'm April first! I'm scheduled with Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana.

I'm hoping to be in April. I'm 38, 5ft 9 inches. I live just notth of Seattle. My high weight was 304 in November. Yesterday I was 276 (yay insurance-required diet !). I wear 1-2x shirts and yesterday wore a pair of size 20 jeans for the first time in months. I just need to do one more NUT appt next week then we'll submit to insurance!

I'm also hoping to be in April. I've done the psych eval, the NUT appt, and 3 months of "monitored weight loss" visits with the nurse practitioner at my surgeons office. I go back this Thursday and that should be everything needed to file with Insurance. I have NO idea how much it will cost me out of pocket, but unless it's crazy high, I will be an April sleever!

My surgery is April 18. I've had everything done since Jan. 17, but had to wait till the doctor had the next available appt. :wacko: I am at 271, and I'm 5' 5". I'm ready to get the ball rolling thats for sure!

I am hoping to have my surgery April 17th, but still wailing to hear from insurance. My paperwork was submitted on 2/15. I had my EKG, all my blood work and tests and I had that test to see how liquid travels. I am feeling a bit anxious, but reading about everyone else on here has been quite comforting. Congrats to you! I am 5"5, weigh 241 and wear a size 16.

Me!!!!! *proudly raises hand and jumps up and down* I'm going to MX for surgery April 8th w/ Dr. Ortiz. I live just south of Seattle (waves at ItsMe!) and cannot wait for my big trip and surgery! Currently I'm 5'7" and highest weight is 252.

(Waving hi back to MrsPiggleWiggle! Good luck!

My surgery is March 20th by Dr. Chau. I'll let you know how it goes.

Yes please keep me up to date

Me! I'm scheduled for April 8th in Dallas. My highest weight was around 391 but I've lost about 40 lbs on my own since then. Ideally I'd like to weigh between 150 an 170. That is kind of my goal. I'm 5'3" so I think that'd be a good weight for me after a lifetime of being overweight. :)

Good luck to ya'll APRIL SLEEVER'S!!! Hoping I'll be an "April Sleever" myself, just wanting for Aetna's approval. (Fingers cross)! I'm 31yrs old, 5'6 current weight 305. Surgeon, Dr. Vaimakis in NJ. :-)

April 12 at Centrastate, Freehold, NJ! Woo Hoo! Pending insurance approval of course... Scheduled for endoscopy and sleep study this week!

I'm an April sleever! My surgery is April 1st. As my friend said I'm no fool for changing my life on April Fools day. I so agree. My all day call with my nurse and nutritionist is march 19th. I'm already working onto meal plans and getting ready. Good luck to all the April Sleevers!!
