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 am scheduled for March 3rd. I am so excited. I spend tons of time on this site trying to read up and understand all I can.

March 10 here. 41 days and counting!

Hi! I'm Vanesa in NJ. My surgery is scheduled for March 21. I had a lapband, it was removed December 21, 2015. Find me on Facebook njeducator74@yahoo.com

Vanessa I live in NJ top! What hospital are you having your surgery at? I will be at CentraState in Freehold.

I am scheduled for March 1st. Excited, nervous, and ready, or I guess over the wait!

I am a March 7th too! Consult-check, psych appt-check, no endoscopy needed, so I just have my preop appt & consent visit. Yay! Are you rdy to start the liquid diet in a couple of weeks?

March 28th in mexico for me

I only have to do liquids the day before my surgery so I escape the 2 week liquid diet I have been doing 2 protein shakes a day for a few weeks already (mon-fri) and will probably just do it all 7 days those last 2 weeks.

Oh good for you! Do you have kids? Married? I have a 4,7 & 9 yr old. My hubby & I aren't sure if were going to tell them & if we do, how we are...thank God, that's my main concern @ this point & time.

I am married and have 2 kids - 6 and 9. We just told them last night because my 9 year old has been asking about why I am seeing so many doctors. He was starting to get nervous that there was something wrong with me - and I had planned on telling him anyway (although I would have rather waited until insurance approval went through first). I just told them that Mommy was going to a lot of doctors so that I can make sure I'm healthy enough for surgery. The surgery is going to help me lose weight and be healthier. We then explained that I will be sore for a little while, and that I will be eating differently for a while - but that the results will be worth it.

I do like that if we decide. Aren't you so excited about being so much more active w/them?

Also, I've been YouTube addicted w/hearing stories & seeing peoples progress. I think I'll def do a progression slideshow to contribute back but not sure of a vlog yet. My husband plans on having it shortly after so we have a lot going on.

Im scheduled for March 28th!

My surgery is scheduled for March 16th AT UCLA. I've had my Psych evaluation, my blood work and an EKG done, plus a few classes at the hospital. Really excited about it! I've lost 13 pounds on my own so far with a 1200 calorie diet. It would be nice to have a FB page for March Sleevers

I'm scheduled for March 15th. Scared but excited!
