Hi everyone,

I have been on this forum a few months, but haven't really spoken up. I have just been like a sponge soaking up everyone's knowledge and experiences. I am so happy to say that I have been approved by BCBS for my sleeve surgery, and it will be on May 20th, which also happens to be my 8 year wedding anniversary! Anyway, I couldn't contain my excitement to start this new chapter in my life:-)

Teenmaria 1078 congrats I am having surgery on my 18 wedding anniversary as well on May 19 wow , you must keep me posted on your progress.

Hi TeeMarie,

I'm May 26 in Mexcio-three days after my 5 year wedding anniversary. Good luck with your surgery

May 20th can't wait!!!!!!

May 19th!

May 20th in Dallas, TX with Dr. Nicholson.

Have my pre-op clearance physical tomorrow with my PCP. Totally amped to get this thing going.

Where's your mind been lately around the surgery?

I'm pretty much a jumble of all sorts of emotions. I am scared because my life as I know it will be over, but so excited for the same reason. I have had several food funerals, I imagine that will continue another week. What will we all do once food is no longer there for us as it once was?!

My doctor does not require this liquid pre-op diet everyone seems to be doing.. He wants me to continue to lose weight, but I only do liquids for 1day prior. So strange how different all the surgeons are. Anyway, super excited, and so happy I found this forum, and all of us going in May ????

Me me me! I'm on the 20th! A long way from you guys (Western Australia) though.

Just got my date today....MAY 20th HERE WE COME!!!

Turbo and others:

I'm feeling an array of emotions as well! Eating to live vs. living to Eat is my motto going forward! Each day I'm more excited and then nervous..rollercoaster! However, I am looking forward to this tool to give me the start I have needed for sooo many years! Want my outside to match my inside....new career, new body, great health....NEW ME! I have alot of living yet to do!!!

I'm May 19...

May 19th!!

rome......I'm hearing you! I know exactly how you are feeling.

I was just looking for some May sleevers, I am May 12th, starting my liquid diet this Friday...

2 weeks and 1 day before surgery... And 4 finals from school in between... Aye! Cutting out sugar starting today... Should be interesting! So excited to get going!

My surgery is May 19th. super excited and nervous. I honestly didn't notice how heavy I had gotten until I started having medical issues almost a year ago. I did things most "normal sized" people do without any shame. I wonder how different will I feel when I am 50, 60,100 pounds lighter.
