Hi, are there any other July sleevers out there. Golly it feels like forever away... 10 weeks to go...

So, I finially finished all of my pre-op testing this week and my coordinator will be submitting everything to insurance for approval. Hopefully, I can get approved and an official date soon. Still hoping for a July date! It's really beginning to feel real now.

I have a tentative date for July 26th! Passed my psych did all my requirements except the blood work and nutritionist! They will submit soon. I am so excited and not worried about approval at all

This is awesome mine is set for July 22. Good luck and we should keep in touch.

Hi there July 2013 Sleevers!

I got my new surgery date today and it's official! I'll be sleeved July 12th. I was originally scheduled for June 4th with a different clinic and surgeon but had a bad experience dealing with the staff at the clinic and felt too uneasy to continue with them.

So, we've now gotten a great surgeon with much more experienced and professional staff and treatment success. I'm thrilled and, while I was super bummed out to have to wait longer, at least it's not too long. I'm allowing myself to get excited again and it feels SO GOOD!

Best wishes and much success to my fellow July Sleevers!

I always say everything happens for a reason! I too had to switch surgeons in the middle of my journey. Very stressful and upsetting but now I'm happy about it . I ended up with a much better surgeon and hospital! I feel a lot better about it all and I have extra time to prepare myself !

Hi! My day it's July 1st also. Keep in touch. I'm super excited!!

So have any of you had folks in your immediate circle disagree with your decision on getting surgery? I'm dealing with a close girlfriend who turned into a detractor. It's saddening and I am avoiding giving her any info regarding details of the surgery. I just don't need the negativity right now. I am so glad that I found other women on this forum who are going to the same thing!

No one knows except my immediate family and best friend. I'm a stay at home mom so I don't have a job or co workers to explain it to. Everyone has been supportive

Fortunately I've been lucky to have most of the people I've told be very supportive however my in-laws have been very negative and are constantly cringing any time I bring it up. It's rough because they are some one who I need help from with my girls and I just don't see them being there. I just don't discuss it with them anymore

Ironically this person I am speaking of is one of my best friends! I have only told 4 folks. Two of which live with me and all are super supportive except her! She talks about how I could die. Mind you I told her I was only CONSIDERING it... not my final decision to do it. think its threat to her if I become thin as she remains plus sized. I don't want to lie and omit details but I am feeling like I may have to so I can remain positive. If she continues to obsess over it and continues to badger me I may have to be firm with her. This is something I want to avoid.
