I don't even have anything other than a tentative date yet and I'm scared. This is a big step but I know it's the right one for me.

Anyone else scared bleepless...or is it just me?

Yay! It's good to have people in the same stage as I am. Happy to share with you all

Thank you, @Urbanlamb. I am pleased to be your sleeve twin. :)

Same goes for the rest of you August 18 twins: @@CrystalJae @@Amarie812 @@kgunchic @@CaroJoy @New_nana @@billw0917 @Imscls and @lindseyzzzme.

That's 92 people in August -- so far. That's a lot of lives that will be changed.

It is beginning to hit me what courage it takes for each of us to take this step.

I was fine until my insurance approved and I got the date lol. Now I'm a bag of extremely mixed emotions. I guess it also didn't help that I watched a video of the surgery online.

<br> First day of pre op diet and the morning went ok but now it late afternoon and I have a headache and I feel irritated lol but I know it will be ok and all worth it excited about my Aug 7 surgery date !! :)

Hey Cynk,

We have the same day! I'm on day one of my pre op as well. Ive got the the nasty headache and I'm frustrated as all hell. We can do this!! 2 weeks cannot come fast enough!

Good luck with everythin

Urbanlamb, I'd worry about anyone who was carefree about this surgery.

It's a big damn deal for me.

Getting it on the calendar makes it REAL.

I feel your pain cynk. This morning got up all ready to do this, now, well...... But, we can do this right? We can make it, it is going to be so worth it.

Hang it there Aug 7 surgery here we come.

Your Surgery date buddy,

Laura

I agree! We ca do it! August 7th surgery date is only 2 weeks! So close yet so far away

Glad to have people I the same boat! It's great support ! We can defenitly do this it will all be worth it in the end !! We will encourage each other ....:)

I go for pre op testing tomorrow and then surgery next Friday!!!

Today I was told they are sending my paperwork to insurance in a couple of business days. Well to upper GI at my pre-op appointment. When they get approval I start my liquid diet. This is really going to happen. Excited nervous but this is a good thing I doing for myself.
