Anyone looking at an August surgery date?

My last appointment for my supervised weight loss will be at the end of July so I'm looking at a sleeve date in August and would love to find some others that will be sleeved around that time as well. I think it would be awesome to keep track of each other via Facebook and have a mini support group!

    My husband and I are both getting the sleeve, my surgeon said they have to be a month apart (because of our 2 yr old) so my husband is getting his in July and mine will most likely be august but we won't be talking dates until our next apt on June 17th

    I'm required to do 3 months pre-op. Third visit is in early July. My docs office says 4 weeks to get approvals and final clearances, so I'm looking at August. I can't do early August, as we have a pre-planned vacation visiting colleges with our daughter who is a rising high school senior in the first week of August. So, probably toward the end of the month (I hope.)

    Moving forward in my process. At this point, my bloodwork, chest x-ray and upper GI (wow that stuff is nasty) are complete. My primary is writing her letter. I'm scheduled for psych on June 24. Only have to schedule pulmonary (I'll see my own asthma doc for that) and cardio. I have to do a support group meeting - probably this month. I want to be ready to roll for July's meeting with my surgeon to put all the paperwork through. Since my first meeting with my surgeon, I'm down 8 pounds and changing habits. I'm nervous and excited. And starting to think about all the clothes I might be able to wear in the next year or so!

    I'm hoping for an early August date. I have to do 3 months' supervised so it depends on if I have to have the 4th appointment or not before insurance is filed. And apparently whether or not the doctors cancel/reschedule my appointments to throw off the plan. (grrrr) I have a break between semesters for my graduate program in August, if I have it after the 22nd I'll have to deal with school research and writing during my first week post-op, which I am hoping to avoid.

    I was told yesterday that I should have an August date. I still have psyc evaluation, EGD, letter from PCP, nicotine test and Cardiac clearance. It seems like quite a bit to do but the office is confident so I'm just going by the schedule.

    I will probably be in September. I had to get insurance approval before I could start the process. Then I had to go to an all day group session. I had my blood work done, met with the surgeon and found out I have lost 17 of the 10 pounds they wanted me to lose prior to surgery. In other words: I'm ahead of the game there. Tomorrow I meet with the exercise physiologist, and I have my psych eval August 18 and medical clearance August 28. After that appointment I meet with the surgeon again and get my official date. Was hoping for August but looks like I'll be in September.

    I'm shooting for August. My last weight check is early August and my surgeons office seems to get you in pretty quick. My insurance has a few day turn around on authorizations so really really hoping for August.
