Hi all!

I received the call and May 4th I'm getting sleeved! Any other May Sleever's? Maybe we can create a support group?

Hello - My surgery date is May 4th also. I plan to post what's going on with me from now and after my surgery. I would love to keep in touch with other May sleevers as well.

Very excited to do this.

Definitely keep in touch! I'm hoping someone will make an FB page or something so it will be easier to stay connected ????

Is anyone on a pre-op diet yet? It seems each surgeon has their own requirements. My doctor and my insurance did not require me to loose a specific amount of weight or have monitored weight loss visits with my family dr. I am grateful for that.

I started the whole process in Dec. with a informational meeting. I feel so fortunate that things have gone so quickly. I have Medicare/Anthum.

I will have to do a 10 day liquid diet prior to my surgery date. I hope they will call me soon for my pre-admission testing.

i do have to have the Edge test- they will do that during my surgery. My doctor seems to think I will be in the hospital for 3 days.

Have you all told everyone what your plans are ? I have only told my husband and children. They are so happy and supportive of my decision. They have watched me struggle over the years..

I actually have a coach and cheerleader - my daughter-in-law had the surgery done about a year and a half ago. She has done great and looks and feels wonderful.

When she made her decision and took charge and had the surgery and made the necessary changes - I thought: What am I waiting for?

If not now-, when?. I am not getting any younger and my health is a concern.

I will eventually tell the rest of my family and friends, but I just don't want a lot of discussion and debate about my decision.

Well - that's my story so far. More to come.

I just got approved. I am removing a band and getting the sleeve. Will get my date in Tuesday. I assume it will be in May.

I am also a May 4th sleever. Hopefully you receive my response! Not sure how to really use this app lol [emoji85]

I'm a May 5th sleever. Congrats to everyone!! Not too much longer.
