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.

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

I would join too, that would be great!

I would join too!

Saw the pulmonologist yesterday and he gave my clearance. I have a mild form of sleep apnea that he is sure will go away once I lose some weight. I have my pre surgical testing scheduled for Monday morning which I see going smoothly and getting the thumbs up there as well. My final clearance is with my PCP which is scheduled for the 19th and I see that going well too. Then the fun 2 week liquid diet would begin on 4/25. Getting so close and super excited!

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.

How are you doing with your diabetes now?

My surgeons office just called me and said that my potassium level came high in my blood work and if it stays high they will need to postpone my surgery. I have never been diagnosed with high potassium levels and they want me to go to my primary and recheck my levels. Anyone else went through this?

Mine is May 9 can't wait!!! Good luck

That is incredible is There any way to decrease the levels.

May 8th for me [emoji28]

I have been reading but really nothing you can do. I am going for a retest tomorrow at my endo's office. I am hoping it was just a mistake.

I hope so to as well. Waiting so long and get excited. Know that feeling it sucks.

Thank you! Pray for me, surgery aside having high potassium levels can be life threatening [emoji19].

I am also scheduled for May 11th!

I am also scheduled for May 11th!

Let's hope you and I go in together. I am going back for my blood work today to retest for potassium. Wish me luck.
