If anyone is having surgery in September let me know would love to have someone who I can chat with along the way that is having the surgery around the same time as I am. SEPTEMBER 2015

I am still waiting for approval from insurance, but my "tentative" surgery date is 9/29--

It seems so far away! If my insurance comes back fast with approval the scheduler said she could try and bump the surgery up to a sooner date....

Common Highmark BCBS ????????????

I was just approved this morning. September 29 is the big day

Surgery is scheduled for September 8th! Band to Bypass for me.

Surgery is September 8th. Would love to chat with others around the same time! Add me as a friend if you want????

Just 26 more days for me. Sept 23nd. I can't believe it's less then a month away.

Hi surgery scheduled for October 12th

Two weeks to go! Can hardly wait. I'm going to start my pre-op diet on Tuesday.

hi is this your 1st time for weight loss surgery?

@@superslim yes this is my first time, and hopefully my last! I decided on the "gold standard", so I don't know what I would do after this if it didn't work. *shudder* I'm not even going to think about it.

Your going for a bypass right?, this is my 3rd surgery, first was gastric band and achieved goal weight, but after a few years had problems so I went for a revision to a gastric sleeve, felt hunger from start, almost back to starting weight now, so now mini gastric bypass scheduled In October, I wish someone had told me from the beginning, goodluck

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Yeah, I decided on gastric bypass from the beginning, it was my doctor's recommendation since I have such a high BMI. Good luck on your revision surgery, I'm sending good vibes your way that this is the last time you have to deal with it.

My surgery will be in the next couple of weeks. I've already done most of the hard work. Now I just have a few more things to do and waiting on the exact date of my surgery. I'm excited!!

September 23 for my bypass! Would love to mutually support others in September. My facebook name is choosehope Memphis. Good luck everyone!

September 4th here, going to Mexico with Dr Zavalza, pre-op diet is going well. I start full liquids(including shakes) on Tuesday.
