Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

That's great!! Congratulations! It will all be so worth it for all of us! Just think about how you will feel and look a year from now! I almost can't even fathom the thought of even being under 200lbs! I haven't been there since elementary/middle school! How exciting!!

What has been the most challenging thought for everyone here?

Mine has been just wondering how I will feel skinny... It's such an odd thought for me. I never even thought I would see the day when I won't be "the fat girl" in the room.

I'm nervous because of the attention. I've lost a little recently and I've been getting a lot of compliments and I am excited to get a ton more. But it's awkward to think it wont be just oh you have a pretty face.

Oh my goodness! It sounds so much closer when you think 27 days.

Exactly! I have my little counter app on my phone. It will be here before I know it.

Hello Everyone,

I received a call this morning that my surgery has been pushed back from May 23rd to June 21st so I moved over from the May group. I am having a revision from a band that was placed in 2010. My pre-op nutrition class and hospital tour is scheduled for May 22nd and my 4-week pre-op diet begins May 23rd. Good luck to everyone!

Ms_kb178,

I'm sorry your surgery got pushed off. That must be disappointing. welcome to the June group though!! We are pleased to have you!! good group of peeps right here!

Just got my date today! June 3rd.. Super excited! A little nervous! I can't wait to be healthy again though :-). They wanted me to go into surgery next Thursday! As exciting as that would have been I can't miss my best friends wedding the following weekend while I'm recovering. I knew 2013 was my year!

Welcome! I could have been having my surgery next week as well, but I promised a friends son 2 years ago that I would help with his graduation party, so I am having mine on June 4th. We will be able to compare notes and basically go through this together. I am excited and nervous! Tonight a really good friend of mine said that she was very worried I was doing it for the wrong reasons. I asked her what she thought that reason was? I told her that if I get off of any medicine then this surgery will be a success for me. I am so tired of hearing negative comments!

It must be late... I am rambling. Thanks for listening

Hi everyone! I just got my date today - June 13th! I thought I would be more excited when I finally got a date, but in actuality I'm scared. I just feel like crying right now. I know it's just my nerves, but it's a bit unexpected. Anyway, I'll be beginning my Atkins diet on May 30th. How do I get a ticker on my posts?

I totally understand your feelings. My emotions are everywhere! This is going to be our best decision ever! Glad you joined our group!

I am already growing so tired of waiting for insurance approval. I can't stand it! I know I shouldn't be in such a hurry. After all, I've been this weight for YEARS. Once I was told surgery was right around the corner, I really started to get my hopes up. Since then, I've had a few aggravating setbacks. How have the rest of you managed to cope with the wait?

I am June 3rd. Can't wait!

It was totally driving me crazy as well to wait! I felt like everything in my life was pretty much on hold "in case" I would have surgery that week. I was so thankful to finally have a date. If you start thinking its been way too long, then call the doctors office or the insurance company to inquire about your status. I found out that my paperwork was just sitting on a desk waiting for a call from the scheduler.

Exactly, my life is on hold. I called on Tuesday and the surgeon's office had not heard anything from my insurace. I also tried calling the insurance directly, to see if they had received the request & they indicated that it wouldn't show in their system until it had been approved. So frustrating!

I called the insurance company and scheduler every day and they finally got tired of hearing from me.

Hi all! I'm so excited for all of the June Surgeries!!! Can we get a shout out from everyone that's scheduled in June! I'll start: June 4th

We're in the home stretch to the loser's bench!
