April Dates

Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

On my way to the hospital....i'm a bundle of nerves.... Definitely the feeling you may have right before you jump out of a plane! I will let you all know how it goes....and if my parachute opens successfully... :-)

Well mine is over. I had it Monday. Having trouble coughing and breathing due to soreness. How much soreness is expected?

Did you find out anything??

Glad it is over but sorry you are having troubles! As far as the soreness, I think it is safe to say that everyone's so different. Our other April 1st girl is having no trouble. Get well soon and keep us updated!

I agree! I also checked out every bypass book our small library had! I've been an RNY addict on the internet! Think I am very well informed and ready to go! Bring on the 22nd!

Well, I'm off to the clinic for my classes before hand. I hope it is all good losing weight but, who knows...

Hope you get to feeling better

So good to hear from you Nella! I think if you're having trouble breathing from soreness, you probably need to ask for more pain meds. I hope you feel better soon!

I am still waiting on the insurance. I really wish I would hurry up and find out!

Getting really nervous with surgery on Monday. Wanna turn into a turtle and hide in my shell :wub:
