I don't have an exact day yet, but getting closer. I have my endoscopy this Friday the 5th. Getting so excited I wish it was just over. Hopefully after my exercise learning class on the 8th maybe I'll get a date. Not sure when my Drs office does it. I'm in Ashland, ky. Dr Roderick Tompkins at KDMC

@@perk4756 depends on your insurance requirements unless you are self pay. after I completed the required BCBS Fed stuff I got approval letter in the mail and was in surgery within the next 30 days. I had to schedule a pre-surgery appointment. I opted to wait one week as well.

hello i am also expecting an august surgery. My last appointment with the dietician will be around the first week of august so I am hoping to have an August date for surgery. Still do not have a set date yet. two more appointments with dietician and a psyc eval left before info is submitted to insurance and i see the surgeon. Highest weight is 294 and current weight is 286, Goal weight would be 160.

Hi team (hopefully!) August!

I'm hoping for August, I see my Surgeon on Wednesday and IF I get approved by him we will set a date there and then his PA has indicated August is a possibility, however there is still hoops to jump through such as insurance after that (mine have a 10 day turn around of decision and only fund 40% but I need that or no go and i also have to get hold of the rest of the money from Savings overseas) and also a couple of Dietatition appointments etc.

I am so freaking nervous about 1) being accepted and approved by surgeon - then if that's ok 2 ) the horrible weight for the insurance company to approve or not :|

not sure my nerves can stand the waits! (I'm on the borderline for criteria) Anyway I just have to keep on hoping it will happen for me and I can be an August Sleever with all!

All the best for everyone's journeys!

I am scheduled for Surgery on August 7. I have completed all necessary requirements and met with the nutritionist, psych. Had an EGD and CAT scan. Purchased some protein shakes from Bariatric Eating Web site. I chose a whey protein drink that is strawberries & white chocolate. It was really good. 20 g protein and sugar 3g per serving They have several other products that I would like to try. Price may be a little more than others but worth it if it tastes good. Trying to think ahead for the 2 week pre op diet that my surgeon has already given me. I live in Tampa, Fl. My surgeon will be Dr. Michael Murr at Tampa General.
