Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

June 11

California, glad you are doing well! How come the surgeon only did two incisions, did he say? Low bmi? So interesting!

I just got my approval - First try!! June 24th! Can and can't wait!

Hey there sister !! I'm the 24 the with ya

Congrats on your surgery date!! Mine is scheduled for June 24th.

Hey greygirl..mines the 24th as well!!!

Pre-op appt was today. They said my heart looked good, I didn't even know I had one. Everything else is in order and ready for Tuesday morning. Have to arrive at 7am and surgery is at 9.

Got my "Owner's Manual" and I'm ready for a positive restart.

Congrats:D I call mine the "owner manual" to ha ha....

I just got my "owners manual" this morning. I will be the first one to be done! I check in at 5:30am!!! Its realllllly happening!! Cheers to us siasters!

I am so happy for everyone here! I go for my pre-op appt tomorrow morning at 9:40. It still hasn't completely 'registered' I'm really having it done!! My BMI is on the low end (35.9 it was 37 but I've lost a few pounds) and I have high cholesterol and blood pressure. I hope to be off the meds after I have lost some weight! I wish everyone luck and success and may you be blessed :-)

Good luck to you! Reality hit me as I'm getting an EKG and chest XRay. But I'm nervously excited. You'll do great!

Glad you are doing well and thanks for the walking advice.

So today I found out that the hospital I work at, now has the sleeve covered under the insurance. It is 5000. I am paying 9800. I almost stopped the process and delay my surgery. I was going to go through my company's incsurace. That would delay my surgery for 3-6 months. I know that my mind was made up in April and I wanted to go with the original plan. My knees and ankle need that 3-6 months of weight loss to help them to heal. I felt a little guilty for finding this out this late in the game and I wanted to discuss it with my husband. I told my husband about it and to my surprise he said "have your surgery on Monday ". I was so happy we were on the same page. We usually are and that is why we have been together for 26 years. Married 23. He sees me hurting and not being able to do the things I used to do. I can't chase after the grand girls or even get on the floor and play with them. Before I could drop it like its hot now I drop it pretty fast but getting ups is slow, very slow. I can't wait to be able to dance again. I miss going to the gym and working our for hours. I miss going up 10 flights of stairs. I miss my old life. I hope to be up and running soon.

June 20th, I started my pre op liquid diet today! I'm super excited!!!
