Impatiently waiting...June sleevers?

[MrsRoboto 370]

I had my second weigh-in this morning. -19.2 so far! Next week I have all my pre-op testing, which includes blood work, an ekg, a chest X-ray, and an abdominal ultrasound. Then I have to do the endoscopy and I have my final weigh-in on June 15th. Then I'll finally get to meet with the surgeon! This has been so much more involved than I was expecting. It looks like I'll probably be getting a July date instead of June. I can't wait!

June 12 for me, so excited and a bit scared too! Going to start trying out Protein drinks!

This is my first post. I am looking at a June date too. I can't wait! I got all my testing done and then got my blood tests back and found out I was severely anemic which pushed my date back quite a bit. I had 5 Iron Infusions. I met with my OB/Gyn and found out I had a softball sized fibroid and an enlarged uterus. Long story short. I just had a hysterectomy 6 weeks ago and my doctor just cleared me to go forward with surgery finally!! I don't know the exact date yet just know it will be June.

Going through my insurance required six month supervised diet. Very anxious for time to pass to get my surgery. I finish in May, so am optimistically looking at June for surgery. Anyone else around my stage? Isn't the wait killing you????

. I have been reading these posts for 2 weeks and still can't figure out how to start my own topic, so I will use this "June" Sleevers to ask my questions and get the June Sleevers to give me some vision. So... I have been to one appointment which was the introduction, then medical evaluation. At this 1st appointment, March 25, they already knew that I had coverage and told me what my cost would be. They scheduled me for a follow up which will be my psych, nutritionist, blood work, etc and my second weight loss appt. My 3rd visit is my final weight loss visit and my pre-op visit. I am still doing some of the requirements ie; cardiologist, Endoscopy, chest xray, etc. Then my surgery will be 3-4 weeks after. My insurance had to have a 3 year history of obesity, which my PC doctor has now provided. And I qualify for that. I read @@Seahawkgirl that you had 6 months to get to be a June Sleever, but I have only had 1 month so far. I wonder if this is going to fast?

Tonight I went out to dinner with my grown kids and husband. I sat there thinking about what I will be doing after the sleeve. Probably 1 lettuce wrap, that would be it. Tonight I drank 4 glasses of iced tea, ate 2 lettuce wraps, a cup if wonton Soup, and ate 1/2 of a portion of sweet and sour chicken and rice. What will I do while everyone else eats and we were there 2 hours.

Sorry, so many question. But thank you for the help![/quote

You will be eating alot slower, waiting about 1/2 an hour after eating before you drink anything, and wondering how could everyone eat soooo much. But most importantly, you will be enjoying time with your family. :-)

Hi, I am 51 years young 5'1", bmi of 51 with no Health issues. I am married with 8 kids, 9 grandkids and 3 of my kids still teenagers with busy school schedules. I own my own business and I live on a small ranch in central Texas.

I am self-pay and am tentatively scheduled for June 15 with Dr Lopez in Tijuana. I am using BariatricPal as my coordinator and my head is spinning at how quickly and thoroughly they are handling everything. I'm very ready and excited to become a beautiful sexy mom/grandma!! My husband is very supportive but concerned because he agreed to give up smoking when I got to a size 12. He never expected I would get there. Now that I have decided on the surgery he is getting nervous! Lol.

Hello everyone!!!! I was told by my insurance healthplus amerigroup that they received my paperwork on May 7th and that my surgery is scheduled for June 22nd!!!! I'm still pending approval!!!!! Nervous and waiting!!!!

[Jme82 23]

I am scheduled for June 16. My grandpa just passed so I get a week of grievance to visit home but am waiting till August to go. Now that my surgery is 3- days away I just feel like a fat blob waiting to look good again. I just want to wait to do anything till I look good. Although today I did spend the day at the beach in my bathingsuit... Some things just can't be helped. But come on June!!!

[nancyz7981 2]

My surgery date is scheduled for June 26th. Unfortunately I had to wait so long nor so much because of the diet as it was my Vitamin D and b levels. I had to have 6 months of shots and prescription Vitamins to raise them enough to be approved. But I think it was well worth the wait and am looking forward to it all.
