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

Ha! Was thinking about summer all day yesterday and making my vacation plans - that was a freudian slip! I did make it to the support group meeting. It was really good! Very inspiring to see all the different people at the different stages of this process and how excited they all are about their progress. Last night they had a cooking demonstration and handed out some recipes, etc. They are talking about setting up a clothing exchange so that people can donate their larger clothes as they get smaller so that we don't have to spend so much money buying clothes while we are shrinking! Sounds like an excellent idea to me. Next one is going to be "Ladies Night" and there will be makeovers by Carmen!Carmen! and mocktails, etc. I'm really going to try to make that one. I'm so excited and want to know my date NOW!!!

Wow. That's great! That clothing exchange sounds like a great idea. I'm looking forward to attending one of those meetings! Ladies night sounds like its going to be fun!!!

July 1!!!!!!! Just scheduled today. All my info was sent to the insurance and approved the same day!!!! Crazy! Oh I'm in NYC .

Pencilled in for July 5 today. Can't wait to get things rolling.

yay Missyjoy2078, You are the same day as me, so exciting and Brendan..... YAY !!!!!! I just sent you an email actually and then just read this message. So are you going to Allamanda? if so you will be going into hospital the day that I will be going home. Have you booked in to see nutritionist yet? She is really lovely, you'll like her. We will be starting our pre op diet around the same time. The book that she will give you when you go and see her is really informative, the appointment with her goes for about 90 min, she is great, she explains everything, she also comes and visits you the day after surgery in the hospital. She said that it's also possible to stay in hospital for three nights rather then 4.... Here's hoping !!! hey you and your wife should come over for afternoon tea one day before we start our pre op diets, I'll bake some treats lol.. take care and Chat soon ps I'm really happy that you have made your decision and you seem relaxed with the idea.

Congrats to you all on getting an actual date!!!!! How exciting!!!! Let the countdown begin!!! I certainly can't wait to get my approval and surgery date!!! Have a great weekend everyone!!!!!! **smooches**

I'm new to the website and I have one weigh in left, june 17, and then my paperwork gets officially submitted. I'm extremely anxious and hopeful for a surgery date first or second week of July! Fingers crossed.
