I am tentatively scheduled for March 7th.

I have had my initial consult, 1st visit with nutritionist, hospital seminar (required at my hospital), 1st cardiologist appt done, psych eval done, 1st gastro appt done. I still have to do my stress test and echocardiogram, endoscopy, pulmonologist appt (this coming week) and 1 more nutritionst appt. Insurance approval hasn't been given yet either, but my Doc sees no problems since I meet the qualifications.

Looking for people to share this journey with...

I have my blood work on Feb 9th and my last meeting with the surgeon on Feb 12th, then start the pre-op diet on the 16th

March 18th!

We are all gonna rock this together Glad you got a date scheduled Canada. I have to go in and do one more blood test on the 17th and start my pre-op diet the 24th and have a meeting with the surgeon on March 2nd. I feel like it is all going to go very quickly after the 17th. Good luck on the endoscopy and the sleep test. I am really glad to know someone will be going through this at the same time and if yall want someone to talk to just send me a message.

I have question I met with my doc today I'm lookin at first week or so of march for surgery n I asked nurse practinor I seen today about pre op diet n she said no I don't have to I though everyone had to so your liver will shrink ?

I don't really have one either. Just supposed to eat better now - protein shakes 1x a day if I want. All liquid the day before. That's it though.

I finished my stuff to be submitted for approval on Friday. Scheduler called me today and said it takes about two weeks to get results from the psych eval then submit but that i should be looking at the end of March for surgery but she can't schedule until approval.

My surgery is scheduled for March 8. I'm going through the read everything I possibly can phase, and my husband thinks I'm "obsessing." I'm starting to get nervous and as silly as it sounds, it still doesn't seem real. When I have my normal "if I ever lose weight..." thoughts and realize it's not if, but when. It's hard to wrap my mind around it.

I'd really like to know what people are doing now to prepare. I haven't started any major changes and feel guilty for not doing so yet.

I'm scheduled March 4th in Mexico

March 2, can not wait. I have started to mix in protien shakes in place of 2 meals. The nutritionist hasn't said to do it yet but I want to ease myself into it so I'm not miserable when I'm on all liquid.

Hi

My first post here... I have been in a preop program since October. My last insurance required visit with the surgeon is tomorrow , I've completed everything else. I'm hoping to get a surgery date for March. Insurance submittal is next. Good luck to us!!!

Do any of you want to start a Facebook page for March Sleevers? I would be glad to try. If so send me your email addresses in private message and we can try it.

What I'm doing to prepare is obsessing over it. Lol.

But seriously, I'm trying to do some shopping for pre and post op needs now as I'm soon off to Hawaii for 2 weeks and then start my pre op dirt as soon as I get home. I'm nervous but excited!

I'm scheduled for March 21. I was rescheduled from Feb 1 because I fell and fractured my heel bone and ruptured my achilles tendon. I'm now having surgery for my foot on Monday.

March 2, am very anxious and nervous

Hi Amy the date for my sleeve surgery is March 7th too. I can't wait to have it done. Having mine done in San Diego. I hope all goes great for you.
