I am expecting to get my sleeve done in Oct or Nov. I haven't even started my 90 day nutrition yet (there's a group session at the end of this month that will start my 90 day clock), so I'm thinking late Sept. at the very earliest.

I'm in the process now of gathering the documentation to send to insurance. I have an appointment with my primary care doc today to get a recommendation from him.

Anyone else with me for fall? It seems like most posters here are Spring/Summer sleevers.

Hello:

Yes, my surgeon said I should be around Halloween time frame. I am 2 months into 6 month diet and nutrition with doctor oversight. So our time frame is about the same.

This is month 1 for me, so if all goes to plan I might get a surgery date for late Nov. I have to go through the 6 months program per my insurance.

I am scheduled for November 3rd. I am so ready to get this started!! I am a self pay because my insurance does not cover WLS surgery and therefore I chose to do my surgery in Mexico.

Hello everyone! I had my first consult yesterday and also have a 6 month program with insurance to fulfill before coverage. Last weight check is oct 21st so probably beginning of Nov will be my surgery date. Best wishes to all!

Hi everyone: I am likely going to be a fall sleever. I have begun the process (attended my seminar and 1st NUT class on Tuesday) and have 2 more NUT classes, psych eval and EGD to complete. I also will have a one on one with my surgeon before my surgery date is scheduled. I am very excited to see this through. Best of luck to everyone on your journey!

If everything goes as planned I'm looking at an early Fall / late Summer date. Just need to get a three month supervised diet out of the way. My guess is it'll land around September. Good luck to everyone!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
