Anyone having the sleeve in april?!

Hi my name is Jackie from Miami fl! My surgery is scheduled April 2 and I am super nervous! I hope I get the approval from the insurance... My fiancé doesn't talk about my surgery at all unless I mention something about it. In definitely looking for others to talk to about my journey.

Jackie, when I did my UGI test in the hospital I was there for 5 hrs, I was so frustrated that day. But it all pays off girl! lol hope your finally done w/endoscopy.

Soooooo after being there six hours it was cancelled! There was an emergency in the OR.... Totally sucks! Now my paperwork isn't going to be submitted until 3/24 and my surgery is scheduled for 4/2. I hope insurance approves me in time!

Awesome u are only two hours away from me! My anxiety is getting high too! I'm still super excited but anxious. I start my liquid diet weds so that is my next step and I'm nervous for that. I know I'm going to need extra support for the next two weeks.

My surgery was just approved 2 days ago and is scheduled for April 2nd as well!! I am so excited and nervous to!

I am currently separated & my husband and I are working on possibly reconciling, however he doesn't like the idea of me having surgery to lose weight! In fact he has told me NOT to lose anymore! So I will gladly be there for you as well because I will need a buddy to!

Hi live in Texas and my surgery date is April 9th, I don't seem to be feeling much at this point. I had to do a lot of test to get ready. Reading all the post from everyone make feel confident in knowing everything is going to be alright. Good luck to all the April sleeved......I am excited through..yea...

We can be buddies! Sorry to hear what you're going through with hubby. I think it's a common insecurity. My ex used to sabotage every effort to lose weight. And he would say, well if you lose weight, you're not going to want me. I took it that he didn't value me; in retrospect, I believe he didn't value himself or see his own inherent value. Good luck!! I'm here if you want to talk.
