Hi guys, I did all my testing and turned everything in and had a date for May 2013. My insurance says everything looked great, BUT we forgot to tell you that you have to have our insurance for a year first!!! I was so bummed at the time, but am now starting to get excited, it's just around the corner! Anyone else out there going to have surgery about that time?

Mine will most likely be in mid-January 2014. I go back and forth from being very excited, to stressing about stuff. The holidays always go by so quickly, so I know that it's practically right around the corner! Yikes! good luck to you :)

That would be difficult. Hopefully you can firm up a date and start the excitement phase.

Hello All. My date has not been positively scheduled yet but we're looking at February 11th. My surgeon only does surgery on Tuesdays. I'm still doing all of my preliminary medical visits and just started my mandatory 3 month pre-operation diet. I am located in Mississippi and I'm looking for surgery buddies to help me through this process. :unsure: Janet

I may be a February 2014 Sleever. I'm still going through the preapproval process, but I hope to have approval by mid January! I'm so excited!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
