On Thursday, 5/29 my paperwork was submitted to Aetna..on 6/2, that next Monday - I was already approved! Same day I got my approval, I was scheduled for surgery on 6/26! I'm so excited, completely feel ready for this and if anyone is also scheduled on/around the same date, feel free to friend me or message me!

Can't wait for my spot on the losers bench!!

Hi JackieN78. I am scheduled for the 25th! I am so ready to do this now! It took awhile for me to be "brave."

I am scheduled for the sleeve on June 23. I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet tomorrow. Will definitely be glad to get that over with but understand it's just part of the process. We are getting so close to surgery dat! Good luck!

tammygRN I am scheduled for the 25th and start my preop diet on Wednesday! We've got this!!!

I'm scheduled for the 25th and start my pre-op the 22nd!

Good luck on your preop diet - I'm on day 12 of my liquid optifast preop diet. Worst part is dreaming about the food I'd love to eat lol! It's mind over matter so I just keep thinking how eating this delicious looking food is what got me here in the first place...I haven't strayed one bit - even cooked dinner for my husband a couple times! . Let us know how it goes and if you need anything!!!

I also had my surgery on June 26. lost 10 lbs after surgery. I have not lost any weight for a week now. A little upset but I will get through. Just have to have faith.

I also had my sleeve on 6/26. So far so good. I think I've lost about 25 lbs since 6/24 (my pre-op clear liquid start date).

I am on the pureed foods part of the post op diet now.
