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

Paying my deposit today! Looks like my sleeve will be August 17th

Just got the call this morning, finally approved and given August 4th as my surgery date.

My surgery is Aug 20th! Getting excited!!!

My deposit went through and my August 17th date is now OFFICIAL!!!

They sent me over my handbook for all the pre-op preparations and diet which will begin in just about a week and a half. It now feels so real

EAS may be changing their packaging because all of their products in the purple containers were at least 50% off at my grocery store. Not sure if that's one of the proteins approved by everyone else's Dr, but if so it's worth checking out.

Hi everyone! I was hoping to be a July sleever, but slooooow paperwork processing has me focusing on August.

I am 41 and a mother of four. I suffer from chronic debilitating migraines, severe sleep apnea, pernicious anemia, congestive heart failure and chronic hypertension. My BMI is 36, but I have more than enough co-morbidities. I have my final weigh in with my surgeon 7/30 and we will schedule the surgery then. I haven't received an official approval yet, as I must wait for my primary insurance to deny before submitting to Medicare.

This waiting game is killer.

Anyone else in NE Florida?

I am in Orlando and my sleeve is scheduled for August 4th.

Looks like I may be an AUGUST sleever, too! I have done my psych evaluation, chest X-ray, primary care doctor visit, and abdominal ultrasound. I have my EGD consult tomorrow and sleep study consult next week. Moving right along. I will be doing a revision from the band.

@@chimboree26 if you dont mind me asking why are you getting a revision to the band, i had originally planned to have the band but my doc said it would be beneficial as i would not lose enough weight

SUPER EXCITED!!! I'm just so ready for it to get here already.

I'm an August sleever! Sd on 8/7. Liquid pre-op diet begins this Fri Jul 23

Hi. I started this process with an online info course in late March and had my first appt with the surgeon on April 20th. I finally have all my various approvals and had my pre-op consult today. They gave me two potential surgery dates: Aug 13th or the 18th.

I'm frustrated at how long this has taken so I'm glad to have at least an idea of a date but also I find myself a bit nervous at the reality. The fact that I have to wait almost another month increases my anxiety. The red tape in this country is ridiculous.

It was required by my Dr. that I obtain a therapist while going through this process but I find that absolutely useless. This is my first post here but I've gotten more help and peace of mind reading forums and watching YouTube videos from others who have gone through this than a therapist who knows of someone and keeps sharing the same stories with me of her interaction with that person. So thank you all for being here.

:-)
