Oh my goodness! Yesterday, my August 24th surgery is now set in stone! I'm so excited!

Lucky you!! Congrats! I haven't gotten a surgery date as of yet, but I'm hoping for the end of August/beginning of September. I still have like 3 more visits with my doctors office. I am hoping that I can get a date by the end of this month or sometime in July as I have completed all the requirements for surgery except the 6 months of visits and a chest xray and ekg ( I'd have to wait until close to surgery to get those last two).

August 1st over here! So excited and ready! Been working on getting surgery going since November of 2015, so 9 months start-to-finish process for moi.

August 2nd is surgery date. Getting more and more excited but a little nervous too.

My liquid diet starts 7/17 with a big colon cleanse 7/31 before 8/1 surgery. Am I nuts that I'm excited for this because that means surgery is imminent? LOL. I'm so ready to do this!

8/3 here. getting nervous.

Just scheduled mine for August 15th. Really anxious, but I know it's the best decision for me. I'm glad I have the opportunity to do this and my insurance is covering it.

My last appt is August 5 so I think mine is going to be late August early September fingers cross????????

My last appointment is 7/29 - I'm crossing my fingers that I can get a mid August date!

Hi all. I think I will be on the schedule in August. Yesterday I met with the dietician (for 5th time) and psych (for 2nd time) and they said they were going to review my case and try to submit to insurance. Today I received a copy of the letter they sent to the insurance. Now I'll be holding my breath for approval! I think I could probably schedule in July if they approve right off, but its such a busy month, I think it would be better to wait to the beginning of August. Heck, I made first contact with the surgeon's office in November, what's waiting a few more weeks?

It is all feeling very real now though and I'm getting quite excited!

My last appt is July 12. I'm really hoping for an early August sleeve date!

I had an appointment with my surgeon today and they are submitting to my insurance for an early August surgery date (TBD), I'm hoping for a quick approval but the surgeon thinks they might try to fight it because my BMI is a 39, but because I'm a band to sleeve revision (after a slip and band failure) he's confident it will be approved! Now the waiting game begins!

I am scheduled for August but having serious doubts if I want to get it. I went through the lapband and will be getting it out in July. I cannot imagine a summer of 2 surgeries.
