Hi there everyone,

I am new here and to this sleeve business! I am tentatively scheduled for late July, and I was wondering if anyone else here is roughly on the same timetable as I am. At this point, I am just getting my nutritional information together for the pre-op diet. i am both excited and scared. I know I can do this, but right now, I seems like a daunting task.

I'd love to hear how other pre-op sleevers are doing!

Thanks,

kbpaulie

So far everything seems on track. I have my phsyc evaluation June 2 and my last class June 19.

Good luck--let us know how everything goes!

My surgery was moved from July 20th to July 1st!! So excited! I am having my endo done on June 1st and still have to meet with my PCP. I am pretty much done now.

Hello I'm new here. My surgery dayr is scheduled for July 27th. I'm excited ,scared and very nervous

My date too

I am new here as well ,and was wondering the same,all I have left is my physch visit and final surgeon appointment, shooting for the end of July as well!!!! Good luck

I was originally hoping for June but I'm pretty sure it'll be July now. I don't have my final weigh-in until June 15th and then I meet with the surgeon and they'll submit everything to my insurance. I am SO ready! I went to my introductory seminar back in February, I've met with the nurse for 3 monthly weigh-ins, had my psych eval, seen the NUT twice, seen the physical therapist twice, completed a 5-week behavioral skills class, and did all my pre-op testing last week (ultrasound, x-Ray, ekg, and bloodwork). I can't wait to get my date!

Hi shemica! I'm scheduled for July 27 too. Welcome and good luck with the preparation stuff.

Thanks so much. I'm looking forward to the journey. Changing old habits has been my biggest struggle

I just got my approval and I will be sleeved on July 14th. I am a teacher so I needed to wait for school to finish. Really excited now that I finally have approval. Good luck everyone!

I am hoping for July but it will depend on insurance approval and my surgeons schedule. I just found out I have severe sleep apnea. I also have high blood pressure. My starting BMI was 40 so I'm hoping that the BMI and co-morbidities will get me through the insurance hurdle. I see the psych doc next week and my surgeon on June 16th. I am so excited to start this journey. Wishing all the new sleevers well ????

I have one more NUT and Psych appt in June ... I'm hoping for a JULY 29!! I'm so excited I can't stand it ????

I have done everything but visit with pulmonary doctor. Scheduled for 6/3. Already saw surgeon, blood work up, upper gi, chest xray, abdominal ultrasound, ekg, psychological eval, nurtitionist, sleep study. The coordinator said then everything is submitted to insurance for review. Does anyone know how long that takes?

I have BCBS and it took less than 2 weeks for approval :-) good luck!

Thank you jvdcal08! I have BCBS as well! Hopefully that is a good sign. ☺
