I couldn't find a June Sleevers forum. If there is one already please direct me!

Well anyway, I'm glad excited that I finally got a date, June 5th. I really wanted it to be sometime during the end of May but that didn't happen. My family will be going out of town, to Disney to be specific, a few days after my surgery because my cousin from Mexico will be making his fist trip here. I'm so sad I won't be joining them but my parents keep telling me I need to look at the bigger picture, or should I say smaller. Haha. I have my preop appointment May 27th. I'm curious as to what kind of diet he will put me on! I'm just excited to get this going! So who else has a June Date? Who is hoping for a June Date? Are you ready yet? Nervous? Excited?

I am a June 2nd'er also. Starting pre-op on 5/19!

My husband is also going to have a sleeve done. I will do mine first and hopefully he will be approved for July. It makes it so much easier when the people you are closest to are supportive and in my case going through the same thing. We haven't told our teenage kids yet. I plan to tell them the weekend before. They are both wrapping up the school year and have finals looming, so I decided to wait till tests are done. So that means the weekend before my surgery. I believe they will be supportive and caring when they realize how major this surgery is. But for now.., I'm heading to the Carolina coast for a work function and lots of fun in this beautiful springtime sun....anyone want to tag along:)

I just scheduled for June 24th. I'm excited!!!

I'm tentative June 9th. Waiting on insurance approval. Completed all my nutrition and psych classes. Have been drinking protein shakes and taking vitamins since February. Doc said I didn't have to do a Preop diet!

I'm June 4, my pre-admission testing is tomorrow

June 11th here. I'm scared and excited.

I am scheduled for June 3rd. Pre-op appt. tomorrow, pre-op diet starts on the 20th. Scared and excited at the same time.

Tentatively I havee may 23 scheduled for all preop testing and consults. June 12th is the tentative surg date. My insurance is crappy so i have to self pay. I found places in the U S where it can be done for 11,900. That includes everything. Even 2 weeks Optifast, 1 year of follow up, and minimal blis complication insurance. With my insurance in WV it was going to cost me 23,000. The clerk at dr rossi office did not even call my insurance. She just told me that self pay was 32,000 for doc and hosp not including tests and consults. My insurance only pays 10,000 max. My new doctor is 3 hours away but they work with u if u travel there to get apts and testing in one day.

My dtr wants me to schedule the end of june so she can take off so i may rearrange them. I also need to find out if i need to have surgery before i start my biologic med for rheumatoid disease.

Finally got my approval from the insurance. Spoke with my cordinator and she said they will schedule me for the 3rd or 4th of June to help me out with my work schedule. I guess I'm starting to get the gitters. Been thinking about this for years, and jumping through hoops for the past 7 months. I was not told anything about a pre-surgery liquid diet. But I am going to go ahead and go with a Protein shake for Breakfast and liquids / Water the rest of the day, just in case.

My doctors office makes us go to 2 classes pre-op where they explain the diet and everything in more detail

I took some classes online. I have a wierd situation. I work out of the country for a month, then home for a month. (oil field) So my Doctor has been very accommodating with my situation. The Dietician I worked with discussed all the pre and post- op cans and cant's, so I feel comfortable with that. But I was expecting a pre-surgery diet, and it wasn't reccommended. Go figure? I have never dieted in my life, (other than the 6 months insurance requirement) but I have fasted many times. Usually 14-28 days of strict Water fast. So doing a liquid diet will not be an issue.

I am hoping for a june surgery. I am meeting with the nutritionist today. My surgeon will be back fist june.

I hope he gives me a date in the first week of june only. Although, i'm scared about the pre op diet. How difficult is it???
