My date is May 8th. I had been hoping for late March/early April, but doctor is totally booked up.

I am so ready!

I look forward to hearing about everyone's journey. I have had every test under the sun. Doc. Found bile in my stomach during GED so now I have to have another test.

I have numerous comorbities some I didn't know about. Almost all can be cured by weight loss. I am excited, anxious, nervous, impatient, and even embarrassed. It's a hurry up and wait process.

I'm in MD. Anyone else?

I'm not in MD, I'm almost as far from there as can be in fact lol I'm in Arizona, but I am also in May and very anxious, nervous and excited all at the same time! I have to go to MX for mine since my ins doesn't cover any bariatric, but since its not my first experience with Medical Tourism, that part isn't the nervous part for me! lol Everything else about surgery is. I failed with a lap band so I am taking the extra time to try and lose what I can before surgery and address my food issues so that I can be as mentally as emotionally ready as possible!!!

How are you killing your time?? I feel like I can't think about anything else and it's still 2 months away! Lol

I keep busy by getting tests and more tests. I also have a sick 11 yr. old at home. He's been out of school since beginning of January. There are many weeks we have doctor appointments every day between the two of us.

May feels like a long time away but it will be here before we know it.

Oh no! I'm so sorry he's been sick for so long!! Is he ok?!

And May will definitely be here before we know it!!!

I got fabulous news this week! My gastric emptying study came back normal AND.....my insurance company Approved my surgery. 5.5 weeks to go. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
