Where are all the February surgeries?

I have a surgery date for early February. I was hoping for January but my surgeons OR schedule for January is full.

So, who is with me in the February surgery corner??

Oh and I am having a sleeve...started my pre op diet on January 1st and will continue it until surgery.

      I was told by the Bariatric Advocate to start looking for a day that I want in February while the insurance is being processed. I am thinking Feb 15

    Well Nurse Leonora I think I'm going to be a February sleever. I am waiting on my insurance to approve me. I dont think it will be an issue as i have several co-morid conditions. I will let you know! i don't know exactly when/if they have submitted it but I will be calling the insurance company later today to check.

    I will probably be early February. Should have been this month, but my husband will be out of the country. Understandably, he wants to be here when it's done. I'd love to find a sleeve buddy! (when I'm given my date, that is)

    I'm 2/1 and putting myself on a liquid diet. Surgeon didn't require one but he did ask me to lose about 16 pounds if I could so I'm doing that. :)

    I'm scheduled for Feb 1. Preop starts Jan 25. Excited and nervous all at the same time. I don't have much support at home, so I'm hoping to find a local support group in S Florida
