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.

How weird. They don't give me a time until the morning before the surgery. That sucks!!!

I have gotten my Sugery date 16 April . I am a little worried but that is normal. I am wanting a mentor . Meal planing is still a unknown. I will be starting the liquid diet in a few days. I am in San Antonio Texas and would love to hear from any one at all stages that I to will be experience.

Jealous everyone is having surgery the 22nd and I'm the 23rd! Hahah We should start a new thread so we can talk to each other and stay in touch during recovery!

I am having surgery the 28th and have to be in the hospital by 7am which means I need to be out of my house by 545am. I'm excited and stressed. My pre-op diet is going, I'm trying and that's all that matters. Hope everyone is well.

Time is starting to go by fast im scheduled on april 9 at 830....im starting to get nervous/scared

Good morning! April is here!!!!! Are you all ready to start our new healthier life's?!?! I might be letting my nerves get to me a little but I am ready! I'm excited for all of us and can't wait to hear all about your successes! :)

I am completely freaking out. I have been seeing a therapist regarding emotional eating. I have not felt fear since 1987. Since getting in touch with my emotions and not stuffing them with food I am really feeling my emotions. OMGosh. I am having trouble sleeping and concentrating. My tummy is doing crazy things. I need to get it together. Surgery is right around the corner (4/14/14).

Thankfully I have supportive people around me. My employees are super supportive. One is even going to do the pre-op with me! My family have all come around and are supportive of me. I know I will be fine. I have faith in my doctor and I know I am doing the right thing. The reality is setting in now.

I keep repeating 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

Are any of you feeling the nerves?

Hi, I'm in pembroke pines and having my surgery April 7. I had my pre op tests done yesterday. I am self pay so the process has been fairly quickly. My fiance has been nothing but supportive and will be with me at the hospital. My emotions and thoughts are all over the place but I have to do this for myself.

best of luck to all April sleevers.

PhatCat oh yes! I'm normally in bed by 9 and 2am is the new norm. :/. I know I just need to make it to surgery day and all will be fine. I think I just have too much darn time to think. I ran a red light this morning because of lack of sleep I think. :/ I've done enough thinking though and running through every scenario possible that I am mentally prepared for all that comes along with this. I think nerves is normal. I just hope I don't give myself an ulcer before the 16th comes.

Then I also have the super excited feeling and anxious like I wish I was over this hump already. I know that we will be fit and fabulous really soon. Trying to stay positive. We got this.

Just got my date, April 21st, no time yet. i go for my preop appt on April 10th, starting my two week diet April 7th. Man its going to move fast for us all.

Jacque from Oklahoma here! Getting sleeved April 15th! Day one of liquid diet today. Feeling nauseous and crampy. Ready for these 2 weeks to fly by!

5 days until my surgery!!!! I started my liquid diet early so im on day 16 which I think has made it take a little bit longer to get here but im now convinced I can do this and ready to take on my new change and the dedication its going to take.

My date is April 16 as long as insurance approves by the 11th. I am having my surgery at Florida memorial hospital, Daytona.

Just got my date, April 21st, no time yet. i go for my preop appt on April 10th, starting my two week diet April 7th. Man its going to move fast for us all.

Yay I'm April 21st too. Preop the 7th. You are right. Three weeks is going to fly by!!! We got this!

Add me to the April 22nd club! I'm in Denver and just finished my last class and everything was submitted to insurance this morning.

I keep moving through excitement, fear, hopefulness, panic and trepidation. A week ago all I would think was "I can't wait to live my life after my sleeve" now I can't even imagine how to process and get used to the changes I will be making.

I'm looking forward to following all of our journeys and praying that I, like so many others on this site, will be starting a new and wonderful chapter in my life....just have to swim through my fear of the unknown first
