Hello all sleeving in August let's encourage each other

Aug 4 for me in Iowa.

I am scheduled August 4th- Good Samaritan Hospital in Rockland County, NY. Anyone else, perhaps we can become partners on the losers bench.

I'm August 4

I'm August 11. Getting excited but scared!

I am august 20

I just got my date today AUGUST 18th!!!

I'm August 11. Getting excited but scared!

I'm August 11th too. I'm super nervous and excited. I got my final surgical clearance yesterday. I begin my 2-week optifast diet on Monday July 28th.

Good luck to you all. I was August of last year. This has been the best thing I have ever done. I am down to 134.5 pounds as of this morning. I exercise regularly. I have a confidence and esteem I never had before. What I have learned on this journey I have been able to bring to other areas of my life. Life is just getting better and better. I wish you all the same!!

I just got my date today. I am scheduled for August 6. Mostly, I am excited. Yet, a part of me me is anxious because I have such a short window of time before I must return to work. The process of getting approved has been somewhat cumbersome and time-consuming- as I started in June as soon as school let out in hopes of taking advantage of having met met my deductible before year's end (September 1 for teachers) and in hopes of getting it taken care of prior to Staff Development (August 13). Looks like I will only have 1 week to recover. I go in for pre-op appt Aug 1. I'm not sure the reality has set in yet. I think my main question is, "How bad is it really?" I don't want sugar-coated answers. I go to support meetings and people look as though they've had relatively minor problems in contrast to their prior weight issues. Their stories are miraculous to me.

so awesome to see all the people being sleeved on Aug 18 we can be sleeve buddies and keep track of how we all progress.

So nervous I can't sleep. Can someone remind me again wat I should take to the hospital? Just wondering how bad it will be I hear stories about bit able to drink enough, the pain and so much more. Since getting my approval I often times have gotten second thoughts.

Day 2 of pre op liquid diet. OMG..... it has just amazed me just how much of my time is taken up with food. Buying it, fixing it and consuming it. I am not hungry, but somehow just don't know what to do with myself in front of the TV. Lovely day here, going to get out and take a walk.

Scheduled for Aug 5th

Good Luck To You

I'm new to this site, I'm thankful to see people saying things I can relate to. I have my insurance approval and am scheduled for VSG on August 6th. Currently on day 5 of the liquid diet, and it's so much harder than I anticipated. I'm starving right now, but I can do this because it will make surgery safer. I've had a few week moments when I've thought about food I'd be eating right now if I wasn't doing this...but this morning I weighed myself and I'm already down 5 lbs. I can do this!

It's official!! My new birthday..August 13.....so excited yet so scared at the same time!!! Here we go!!!
