Hi! I just started my journey and I am looking forward to chatting with those of you who are on a similar time-frame as myself. My insurance is Cigna so they require a 3 month supervised diet, psych eval and sign off from my primary (which I am worried about, I haven't seen him in 5 years so what if he wont sign off? should I find someone new? suggestions?)

I am aiming for an early September surgery date, my Dr. said it is doable! I am excited and nervous.

I have learned so much already from reading about everyone else's experience it has really helped to calm me down.

I feel like I am obsessed with this and it's all I can think about. I have probably watched 200 youtube videos so far. LOL

Any tips, tricks or advice is welcome and appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

I just found this "September Sleevers" thread and I'll be here every day following everyone's journey. I'm very nervous so this will hopefully calm me down. Thx!

Me too!

Welcome!

I'll be getting a band to sleeve revision on Sept 11 in Tijuana with Dr. Altamirano. I'm so excited!

Surgery date is September 24...

Hi all! I'm new here. I'm expecting to hear from my doctor today with my date. It's either September 1 or September 8. Yay! Thanks for all the posts and encouraging words.

I am scheduled for Sept 2nd! I am a previous bander (had it removed).

I'm also scheduled for the 3rd, so excited. I'm on pure liquid diet and I have cheated once, feel bad but getting back on track.

sept 28 is my surgery

So has anyone started their liquid diet yet??? If so how's it going???

No problem at all with the liquid diet. Over two months ago, I switched to 2-3 Premier Protein shakes a day, and one smallish protein meal. So, going to liquid diet has meant dropping the protein meal and increasing the shakes -- something I did last week before I had a surgery date. In another two days, I go to clear liquids -- Syntrax Nectar and broth and stuff.

I am honestly much more stressed about the milk of magnesia they want me to have than the liquid diet.

hard to believe since I first posted here that I am 6 days away from the "big" day! liquid diet in full effect!

getting super excited!

All of you have been great and I can't wait to see you all on the other side!

You go girl!

I'm a Sept 1 person, so yes, yes, on my liquid diet. :-)

I just got my date today, i'm scheduled for September 21 I have been on a three month supervised diet and lost about 9 pounds. I start my liquid diet 9/7. I'm so excited but I am also so nervous!
