Just got my appointment yesterday!!! I'll have my surgery on the 17th. I'm nervous , but so excited too! Anyone else have a date close to this?

My surgery is scheduled for June 17 as well! I'm having mine done at Brook Army Medical Center in San Antonio. How about you?

Mine is at georgetown bariatric center.... In georgetown, ky. How long have you been going through the process?

My doctor first recommended bariatric surgery about two years ago. I attended my first information session in August 2013. As I am using a military facility (my husband is a retired Marine), I did not have to go through the insurance approval process. I was required to attend nutrition sessions, psych eval, support groups, etc. So I've been busy!

I'm 44 and wish I'd done this sooner. How about you?

I'm 25 and have two kids... I've spent all of my adult life caring for them and going to school. It's finally time that I worry about my health! I've been going through the process since January... My mother had the lap band a few years ago and that's what I originally wanted until I learned more about the sleeve.

My date is going to be that week. I'm having my surgery in Birmingham, AL. I'm 43 and wish I had done this years ago. It has seemed "unreal" until now. I may go into full panic mode when I get the exact date!

I'm June 9th. From what I've read in these forums the first couple weeks should be the worst. I can't wait. I start my pre op diet on 5/27

June 30th for me! Starting to feel real!

I am June 13! I am excited but nerves are kicking in!!! I just cleaned out closets and had a huge garage sale! I was excited to get rid of all of my clothes except two outfits and all of my workout clothes.Even shoes!!!!! I am changing for good and I don't have the clothes to fall back on now. What have y'all done so far that has made that aha moment for you?????

I have mine on the 18th

I am also on the 18th of June and I am excited beyond words. I am also extremely impatient by nature so the waiting is killing me. I am also in San Antonio.

I am scheduled for June 17th too!! I am so excited but also very nervous. I just found this forum and starting to look around and read to stay on top of my fears that I know will be growing as the date gets closer!

I ordered a nice robe for the hospital. When it arrived, I tried it on and looked in the mirror and it hit me that this surgery is really going to happen! Excited and nervous, which I think is normal at this point. Really dreading the two week pre-op liquid diet but am committed to it 100%.

I know the feeling. I went and bought a new robe and stretchy pant pjs as well. I had to buy a 3x to compensate for bloating. I told myself this is the last time I will buy this size of clothing. I always have anxiety but its really making me super restless. What are any of you doing to help the time pass by? Are any of you starting to look at magazines or clothing differently?

June 16th for me. Sooooooooo excited!

Good luck to all of you!

I am also a June 17th sleever! I am in Des Moines, IA and will be having it at Mercy here. I am very excited and nervous just like everyone else. I have been ready for years but with insurance mishaps I was able to until now. It's coming ladies. I have done wonderfully eating healthier and adjusting to a new eating lifestyle. I've lost 40 lbs so far just from cutting out sugar, bread, and bad carbs. I feel better, but I've done this before and then fall off the bad wagon and gain it all back. I want the surgery to help me in staying focused on my goal.

I am ready... kind of wish it was sooner, but it will come quick enough. One more week until pre-op liquid diet!
