I am so excited that my insurance approved me and I'm set for June 11th. However I'm freaking out a little bit because now it's like HOLY CRAP it's REALLY HAPPENING!

Any other June Sleevers around? Any words of encouragement or advice?

What is the pre op process.

Getting sleeved on June 11th! Excited and scared????????

What is the pre op process.

It is different for every doctor. Some require a liquid diet for a period of time. My doctor requires 30-40 carb a day for two weeks prior. Your surgeon will let you know what they prefer. Also, your doctor may require additional testing. That will vary from situation to situation. It will depend on what medical issues you have going on.

June 29 is mine day very excited ????

I'm wondering the same thing. I've told only immediate family. I'm apprehensive about telling people. I feel like this is very personal. But on the other hand, it will also be very noticeable. Not quite sure how to handle questions from people.

I thought about this a lot myself, but then I thought, if someone actually asked me flat-out, that would really be quite rude of them, and quite frankly, I would tell them so ! Of course, there are many that will be thinking it. They just won't come out and say it. I think the answer is, you are not obligated to answer or explain anything to anyone, unless you so choose

Awesome my surgery is June 10th so excited for you and me and everyone getting it done soon!!! Good luck to you !

Just got the insurance letter in the mail. Everything is a go.

My date is June 9th. I'm trying not to panic but praying instead. Finishing up things at school for sub and anxious to get the journey started. Preop tomorrow! I've been working on this over a year so it's time.

I'm June 23rd! Scared, but ready. I keep looking at my 3 year old daughter and know it's the right thing to do.

Good luck everyone. @@musicmom60 I started my diet 2 week early. I am replacing one meal with a rtd meal. Next week I will do two meal replacment drinks and a meal. Then it's all liquid till surgery. I'm trying to get my body and mind used to the new me. Lol. So far it's okay. @ her1981 I know what you mean my kids are older but I need to be around for their kids.

I have my pre op tomorrow

I have my pre op tomorrow

Me, too! Liquids only on Monday, and surgery on Tuesday. Guess I'll get some groceries on the weekend, just to be sure I've got what I need for the next week or so.

T- 6days t surgery and counting, still feeling positive and strong, it was a big boost not to cheat when I went to my Dr.s office Tuesday for my last pre op visit and I weighed in at 349, I started this journey at 388 and started to "practice diet" in March, Dr said I will be at between 328-333 on my surgery date, yesterday I took a few hours to get my "buyers remorse" out of the way, seriously! I sat down and questioned the surgery, pain, and diet, then I got up and proceeded with my day, hopefully I've covered everything!

June 30 - 26 days and counting...I am both excited and nervous.
