So finally got my date and it is May 11th. Are there any other May sleevers out there who want to join me in this journey?

I also invite the veterans to join and guide us May sleevers through the process.

May 9th. [emoji1]

I'm May 8th... Up here in Canada.

Wow... today is the 11th and I go for my pre op testing. My surgery is exactly one month away. It is starting to feel real.

We can be surgery buddies

I would like that

May 9th for me...

I just got Approved and my surgery date is May 2nd. YAYYYY! I go Thursday for a 2 hour nutrition class then next Wednesday for my pre-op testing at the hospital. Can anyone tell me what this testing consists of? I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet this Sunday.

For me I had to get blood drawn, xray and an ekg. I also had to follow up with my PC Dr. And go over my current medications. Prior to all of the I had to get a GI test

I am here at my pre op appt right now. I will let you know what all they do.

It was blood drawn, urine sample and a chest X-ray for me. I had already done an ekg in my previous appt.

I'm May 2 as well! I start liquid diet Monday morning... I haven't had my pre-op yet either. That's 4/26 for me.

This is so exciting.

I got my call from the insurance on Friday, and today I talked with my surgeons office. Scheduled surgery is May 4th. Only have a liquid diet for the night before but I'm choosing to do a few extra days. I'm so bummed I didn't get in towards the end of April but happy it was approved nonetheless. [emoji847]

Well, I'm having the sleeve done on May 1! I was originally scheduled in November 2016 but had to cancel last minute due to complications from diabetes. Hey, so I'm in a Facebook group for November 2016 sleevers and just stayed in it to see how everyone was progressing. Might be nice if we made a May 2017 Sleevers group on Facebook? I didn't see any when I searched so far. Just a thought.

That's a great suggestion Nicoteolis. Would you want to create a group? I would love to join.
