Looking for november buddies. I got my approval today. Im so excited!!! Nov 4th here I come!!!!

Awesome - I'm going to be at Chapman Memorial with Dr. Owens. I don't guess you have him' date=' too? I'm traveling to Orange, CA for him!!![/quote']

No, I have Dr. lePort in fountain valley. Don't know my actual surgeon yet, there are 5 in his practice (Smart Dimensions).

November 5th!!!!

Yay. I'm nov 4th!!

The nurse called and today to switch my date to a week later. I guess the doctor decided he wanted to take a vacation the week of my surgery. I am now Nov 19...

Now we share the same date

Now we share the same date

That's my date too! Pending insurance approval :/ (so, hopefully)

Hi all,

My surgery date is 11/5 - so excited!!!

Anyone in NY?

I received my approval in less than 24 hrs...but it's talking a while to receive my date from the scheduler

Hey, everyone! I'm a newbie around here. I've been shadowing conversations for months, but now the time is almost here. I see my nurse and dietician for the last time on Monday. After that, they will submit to insurance. Once we hear back, it's a short ride!

I'm excited and nervous and excited and nervous! I have been working toward this since May, when I was at my highest weight. My starting highest weight was 377. I haven't discussed goals with my doctor yet, but I'm just looking forward to onederland, so have set my goal (probably high) at 195 for now. I have lost a total of 63 pounds so far pre-op, and am hoping to make it to 75 (ok, really 77) before surgery if I can. I figure with the pre-op liquid diet, that should be do-able! I am aiming for late November, so I should get to join ya'll as buddies! As long as things go according to schedule, I should be good!

I am getting sleeved at Unity Hospital in Fridley, MN (any other Minnesotans around?!?) with Dr. Jeff Baker.

I look forward to making friends and reading about all your successes!

Hello' date=' I am new but scheduled for Nov. 6 in Virginia...looking for a mentor or buddy, extremely nervous Scragly cat[/quote']

I'm in Virginia my date is Nov 6 where you at!?

Hi All:)

I had my last appt on Wednesday and I got the call this afternoon that I should start my two week pre-op diet tomorrow and prepare for surgery within the first few days of November. Apparently they don't think I will have issues getting approved, although I have CIGNA so I have no idea why that would be the case lol.

Any who, looks like I will be joining you in November. So excited for all of us:)

Hey me too! Whoot-Whoot...by Christmas we will be 30 days out and prayerfully feeling good!

I'm also scheduled for November 25th. Super nervous about it. But happy to have a date.

Hello all,

I responded at the beginning of the thread, but didn't include my stats! I'm scheduled for Nov 25 in Tijuana with Dr. Illan. I'm 5'8" and 350 pounds. I don't have a goal weight, but would love to be under 200. I start my 2 week liquid diet in three weeks! I look forward to checking in with you all! I think someone started a November Sleevers Facebook page, so that might be a great way to keep up with each other!

We're sleeve buddies! I am 31 (32 by day of surgery). I'm 5'2, 260lbs , my dream weight is 130, but we'll see. I don't have to do a liquid diet for 2 weeks. I start a 1200 cal diet on 11/11 and then do liquid on the 23rd and 24th.
