Getting very excited. Have my surgeon appointment on April 21. Can't wait.

Got my date yesterday. I'm scheduled for August 14th as long as insurance approves my weights. Final weigh on Aug 3rd, then wait for approval. Keeping my fingers crossed. If they make me wait until Sept it will really screw me up.

I am scheduled for August 7 surgery. Nervous and scared but excited as well. Trying to stay busy to control all these emotions. I am in Tampa, Fl.

I had my Endo yesterday (Friday) and found a haital hernia which my surgeon said he can fix during surgery. I have my very last class on July 15th..... so since the Endo is done, I'm awaiting approval and a surgery date!!!!!

My surgery just scheduled for August 10. I wasn't required to have endo but I had to do a barium swallow where they check for any hernia's etc...I am in Texas. The only other test my surgeon had me take was a CT scan, both parents passed from pancreatic cancer so she ordered a screening for me just to make sure all is well before this major VSG surgery. Best of luck to all, August will be here quick:-)

My surgery is scheduled for August 12....so excited and nervous !!! Love reading all this info !!!

I'll know tomorrow is I get to be sleeved. I'm hoping for Aug 10.

I'm APPROVED!! *happy dance* I don't have a date scheduled yet, and I probably won't know for another week, but approval was the big hurdle!

I am new to this group...hello all! My initial appt was in January, with my insurance requiring 6 months monitored nutrition etc. I have my surgery date...August 19th. I am excited and nervous!

My surgery date is August 28th!!! Just got my approval today. So super excited!! and super nervous. Not sure how I'm going to make it all the way to August.

August 17th for me! Had to schedule between summer school and the fall semester.. Sheesh!

I just found out I have yet another hoop to jump through. Now I need a surgical clearance from an Internal Medicine doctor before they will schedule me. My doc IS an internal medicine doctor, but of course she's on vacation until July 15. We live 300 miles away from most major medical services, so it looks like I will have to go out of town to get it done. AAGH!

We're going to be sleeve twins.

Went to my first doctors appointment on May 21, i weight 261lbs, scheduled Aug 24 date, already meet with the nutrition, did my 2 psychologist appointment, Did upper GI, n Upper endoscopy, had my first appointment with sleep study, had a date to do the over night sleep study, got a call today, that my insurance denied it, due to no heart problems, and don't have copd.. I have the sleep study to figure out, and pre procedure testing, and medical clearance left. Got weight last week, and was down to 249 lbs, yeah n only had to lose 10 lbs... So i have 59 days left, to start the new me!! Im in Saratoga NY

Anyone switched dr practices? I've already completed my 6 months but every time I call their office I feel like they don't have all their ducks in a row. They want me to come back in again to meet with the surgeon even though when I met with him I told him I we still deciding between the sleeve and the lap band.
