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?

It'll be awesome if we could all get together next year and celebrate our 1 yr surgeversary..... Ijs

Yes Niue, we'll all be sexy!

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

I too am the 24th! (: excited !

June 27th! Anxious' date=' excited, nervous but feeling really good about this decision.[/quote']

I am the day before...feeling the same way!

So today I found out that the hospital I work at' date=' 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.[/quote']

Good for you, I am there with you..I cannot wait to do all the things I used to do! Maybe you can get your insurance to reimburse you some of it now that they cover it?

I'm sorry y'all... Day 4 of my pre op diet. No food. Just protein shakes & water & I'm really hungry. I know I'm doing this for a very good reason but I'm SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY frigging hungry & obsessing about food!!! All the self talk in the world isn't stopping my tummy from rumbling. I'm drinking 4-5 protein shakes a day. And a lake full of water...

Good luck & wishing you a speedy recovery! I'm leaving in an hour for mine... WE got this!

Sending prayers of comfort!

June 11

Me too.
