Hi everyone-I am so happy to have found this site and have spent hours reading posts! I am tentatively scheduled for gastric bypass on July 6. I have two more weigh ins at my doctors office, A psych eval, a nutrition class to take and a routine gastroscopy on June 3. At this point my main anxiety is due to not knowing if Aetna will approve me--my surgeons office has patients complete everything and they send the file at that point. I could literally find out on July 4 that I haven't been approved ????. I would love to find someone out there who is also scheduled for early July to be a support buddy. I know I'm going to need one and would love to do the same for someone else! Interestingly enough,

I did find out yesterday, I will only be on a three day clear liquid diet pre-surgery and thought that was so odd compared to everything I've read here!

Yeah, that'll work

This is the big month everyone! Very exciting (and nerve wracking). Hope you are all doing well on your journeys.

I would be happy to join a private FB or other group as well!

I'm get surgery July 17 and very excited... For the ones that are getting there surgery before July 17 I will be praying for you that everything goes well and that there is no complications and that you heal quickly Good Luck and God Bless you ????

For those interested, I started a Google Group for us named: The Bariatric Pal's Get Slim, Sexy, and Savvy Support Group. I believe you must have a google account to join.

Hello all

Its so exciting to hear/read your stories. I was shooting for a July surgery but during the pre-tests (endoscopy) they discovered ulcers and I have H. Pylori ????

So mega treatment had to get rid of these things. (More $) and another 6 weeks of delay.

I'm very happy to stumble across this app and wish you all a successful? positive and happy journey.

Here's hoping I'm not far behind. ????
