Hey Everyone!

My name is Katarina, I'm 26 and I live in Minnesota! Just met with my surgeon today to schedule my VSG! I chose Tuesday, September 2nd, the day after Labor Day! My pre-op liquid diet starts Saturday, August 23rd. Wondering if anyone else is having surgery on or around this date? I would LOVE to have a surgery buddy! Someone who is going through what I am, when I am, so we can help each other out! Also, if anyone has an Instagram, my user name is liberianne_gal. I follow tons of amazing men and women who have went through Weight Loss Surgery and have fantastic stories! Can't wait to create my own!

Hope to talk to some of you soon!

Hello! I'm from Washington State. I began this journey March 9th. Everything was submitted a few days ago. Just waiting for a response from insurance now. It is looking like my sleeve will be done in September. But, I will find out more details and get an actual date hopefully next week. Eeeek!!! I am so excited!!!

Hi Dotti. I'm having it done at UMass Memorial in Worcester.

Hello,

My name Denise from Canada.. My surgery is schedule for August 26/14, mi liquid diet starts tomorrow. I'm excited and nervous at the same time... Please pray for me ..

Thanks

Hi, I am 49, and live in NC. I think I might be September. I did an online class, then met surgeon on July 26. I had chest X-ray, ultrasound, EKG, and upper gi on the 6th, and psych and nutrition today. Don' t need sleep study--already know I have sleep apnea. My "results" visit is on Aug. 26, and I get my surgery date then. I don't even know when my approval goes to insurance! When do they usually submit?

Yes Kelly I am pretty concerned about the diet. I have gone one day with liquids at times and always feel very weak. With my doctor, I hear they push special protein options like protein jello? Haven't been to the class yet but I know the protein thing should help some. I also understand the weight starts to come off quickly? And that keeps people encouraged. Guess we will see,huh? I'm trying to take one step at a time because I know this is right for me right now. I'd be curious to know anyone's age? I just turned 50. Anyone else doing this late like me? Sheri

Hi I turned 51 at the end of June. I am hoping for a Late September or early October date.

Hi Dotti. I'm having it done at UMass Memorial in Worcester.

oh! I live in Southbridge. I go to umass for lupus. I'm getting mine done at Tufts in Boston though. Good luck!!

Hey everyone! I'm Alisha from Michigan, surgery scheduled for Sept 16th. I will be a revision from lap band. I had my band removed in May after too many problems. Had my first baby a month an 1/2 before that, so I am a new mother. I don't know if that is affecting my thought process or what, but I am TERRIFIED. I don't remember being this scared before my band. Mind you I've had tonsils removed, gallbladder removed, lap band in, c-section, and lap band out. Anyone else in my boat?!

So I got the insurance approval today. We are all set to go on Sept 4th. I'm so excited I'm jumping up and down!! Let's kick butt all of us September patients!

Hi im getting my on September 10 because my surgeon went on vacation but im happy insurance approve my surgery thats all that matter ....I need a buddy to

I am from Wa. state and will be having my surgury in edmonds, I just go my date today. My surgury is scheduled for Sept 8th. I am so excited, I started this journey on june 24th, my birthday. I figured it was time for a major life change, i am self pay because of my insurance restrictions so I have not had to go through the issues with insurance approval. I start my pre op diet on monday the 18th. my dr. does not have us do the liquid diet. I have to follow a carb control diet of less than 50 grams of carbs per day, lucky for me because of my diabetes i have already been doing this for the last couple of weeks. I'm kinda nervouse, but I am so ready.... Good luck to all of you and I look forward to follow all of your progressess...

Saw my surgeon today! Surgery is tentatively set for September 25! So excited for the future!
