Hey September Sleevers, My new birthday is in about 5Hrs.. Surgery is at 7am have to be at the hospital at 5am...The old me will be ending and the new and healthier me will begin and a new journey as well!!

I am sadly NOT going to be a September 24 sleever anymore. I am beyond frustrated, but trying to still be good. I have been so ready, bought all my vitamins and post surgery items to be told today by my insurance company that I was supposed to register with "their" program and after I registed a NP will be giving me a call on September 29th. I called back in April and asked everything, they NEVER transferred me to the bariatric area of my insurance, not even a mention of it!!!!!!!! Now, surgery that was for next week is cancelled, by claim for my short term disability closed, all the arrangments for my work to be done again, later as well as childcare arrangements for my son. This sucks, I am venting, crying inside so my son doesn't see (he is four). Picked him up from school all happy as usual and one of his young buddies asked if I had a baby in my belly. I thought I would bust crying, but nope. Thank god I have a therapy appointment tomorrow.I just want to scream!

Omg.....the same thing just happened to me I can't believe it

Is everyone "out" about their surgery? Or am I only one that has kept this quiet except immediate family!

I'm with you! I had no intention of keeping it a secret. I'm fortunate to have an amazing supportive husband! And two of my family members have already been sleeved, so they''re of course very understanding and supportive. But when I told my best friend.....DID NOT go over well! She has always been bigger than me, and unfortunately a very jealous person. She tells me all the time that she worries about me turning into a bitch once I've lost weight and the dangers of the surgery and how she knows I'll be extremely unhappy after the surgery and yada yada yada. It's really unfortunate and makes me really sad. I'm not doing this to be skinny. I'm doing this to be healthy and all she can see is that I will continue to be skinnier than her. After her reaction, I have not a single other person and I don't intend to.

Where are my September 24th sleevers??? I want a friend to go through this all with on the same day as me!!!

And there's no possibility that it can still come through for that date?
