I was approved for my surgery and I am meeting the surgeon in two days. How long does it take to actually set the date? Hopefully soon? I'm full of anxiety, excitement, and fear!

I wonder the same. I'm meeting the surgeon the 21st and hope to schedule surgery soon.

Me too, I'm meeting the surgeon on April 21. Wonder how soon I can have my surgery.

I have my pre op with my doctor on 4/23 and my surgery was schedule as soon as we had approvals from insurance.

I had my meeting with my Surgeon on March 13th and scheduled my surgery for April 28th. I could have chosen a date a week or two earlier but I needed more time to get m work completed.

It seems fairly fast hear. Insurance has approved. I need a few weeks for work as well. I'm really hoping its in the beginning of May. Good luck everyone! I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow morning.

Interested as well. My pre-op appointment is May 5th. So excited and nervous!

O ya CINCO DE MAYO! I met with the surgeon today and It was so boring and easy. We set the date for May 5th, 2015! I guess the day before I meet him again and we do some tests. I was so nervous to see him and now I'm just ecstatic! I've lost 30 total since I saw him 8 months ago. SCORE! Chipotle for lunch now to the gym and tanning with my sister. Best day EVER!

Had my pre-op appt today, but my surgery date was provided on my first appt, and we've kept to it. (April 23), We (my husband and I) have 8 days! Tomorrow we start our pre-surgery diets-- which entail liquids (shakes, soups, etc. then on the 4/22 were to have clear liquids only which we'll continue to do after the surgery.

Oh boy seems like a lot of us getting ready. My pre-op with my surgeon is the next Tuesday the 21st My surgery date is May 4th. I start a liquid diet 10 days before surgery.

It is all getting very real. I am excited and anxious but also a little anxiety. It will be a big change. My family is very supportive and excited for me.

brmbrown - you and your husband are doing this together? That is great.

good luck to all of us.

My husband is an eat anything never gain a pound type. He's very supportive but has no clue what this is like.

I would love to hear how your surgeries go? I'll add you all as friends! I'm proud of all of us! This is not a journey for the weak. It drives me CrAzY when ppl say it's the easy way out! So GOOD JOB!

Also, my husband is a twig as well!

Sleep study last night. I woke up on a deflated air mattress and had ripped off most of my electrodes. The guy in charge said I flipped and kicked all night, oh well.

I had a terrible time too with the sleep study.. That's by far the least sleep I'd ever had. But yet somehow they advised I'd gone into a deep RAM sleep. I don't think so!
