Our plan is a mid July surgery date. New to this journey but can't wait to see what it holds for me! I am a very big planner and can't wait to get others support and advice.

Hi There Because my insurance requires 6 months of classes before surgery, I'm expecting to be sleeved sometime in July as well! Tomorrow is my second of the six classes. I'm so excited! I'm doing my best to use this time to prepare and start making the changes that will be part of my new life. I've cut out soda, bring my Breakfast and lunch to work (it helps that I work at the same hospital as my surgeon, and every time I'd run into him in the cafe I felt guilty and knew i wasn't putting in the work I need to, lol). I've cut back on my coffee, and will be transitioning to decaf next. I've lost a few pounds just making these changes, which makes me feel great. I'm committed to the life I want to have after surgery! Have you ever watched "My 600 Lb Life" on TLC, I think it is?? Some are success stores, but some are really eye opening to how serious the docs are about surgery being a tool. The people who weren't prepared to really put in the work and make changes are not successful. Some have even managed to GAIN weight after surgery! I do not want to be that person! Anyway, happy to see another July sleever on here! I'm sure there are many more of us, and hopefully we can all support each other.

Yes I am starting month two of my 6 month physician supervised program. I lost 5 lbs in the first month so I feel good! I cut out soda the first of January. I don't do coffee but I do drink tea. Going to start using a sugar substitute. My surgeon is the best!! I meet with the dietician on Monday. So excited to hear her suggestions and insight. Have started doing research into foods and things for right after surgery. Got a few samples from Bariatric Choice.

I'm lurking on both the June and July boards. I will finish my nutritional counseling late June. So my surgery date will probably be in July. I go for my second visit on Thursday. Now I just need to find a doc.

I'm excited I should be having my surgery in late July early August due to my insurance requirement I have to see an dietitian for 3 months .my first class starts next week .i am excited for this life time change...I'm open for question and thoughts ..happy journey everyone!

My surgery is scheduled on July 24th with Dr. Jose Rodriguez and Dr. Elmo with BeLiteWeight in Tijuana Mexico. I have a thread under he Mexico surgery page. We are all in this together

What is the SILS/LESS procedure? I'm curious...

Hi Everyone,

My surgery is July 9th! I'm nervous and hope I made the right decision of the sleeve and not gastric bypass. Any thoughts??

What did your Dr advise

What is the SILS/LESS procedure? I'm curious...

Without 3,4,5 or more incisions ....only one in your belly button.

My doctor advised either of the procedures for me. I felt more comfortable with the sleeve.
