Got my date: January 21st

I am once again excited as I was yesterday when I received the approval. The Insurance coordinator called me this afternoon and gave me the date of January 21st. All of a sudden, I am so nervous.

Any other January 21st sleeves? I would love to support each other during this process!

  • I was sleeved the 20th! Everything went smoothly. I haven't had any pain except for the gas build up. As long as I don't try to drink too fast the gas issue is non existent. I have had zero hunger. Fo

I can't believe I have two weeks left until the 21st.

My insurance company called today I'm approved my dates the 26th and im so happy and nervous and yeah all emotions. I have a 2 week preop diet ahead of me. I feel like I'm more afraid of that then actual surgery. Has anyone else felt this way?!

Congratulations! I am nervous one minute, then the next I am wishing this week and next would speed by. I started my pre-op diet early because I knew I had gained a few pounds over the holiday. I'm really supposed to start this Wednesday. However I am already down 6 lbs. I have 8lbs to go. So that is the only thing that keeps me focused and not stressing or having real anxiety about the 21st. Oh, and of course reading all the posts in the forum everyday.

It is very exciting though. I still haven't mustered up enough courage to take some before pics.

Glad to have found a few with dates around mine. I'm the 20th. Good luck everyone!
