I haven't got my surgery date but I'm estimating that mid July is when it will be. Congratulations on getting your surgery date! I can't wait to get that call. We can be wls sisters if you are looking for a wls buddy.

Thank you! Sure, always a good thing to be connected especially when we will have surgery around the same time. Let me know when you get the date. Any day now for you. Thats great

My last appointment is on May 30th so I hope to have my surgery end of June when I take two weeks off for my birthday. I doubt that will happen so I'm guessing some time in August. Congrats!

Cool. I don't know when I'll find out I just know i needed three visits with the dietitian and my 3rd appointment is June so surgery should be mid July. Have u completed all your test and nutrition visits? When did you start the process?

I completed all my testing. My last appointment with nutritionist is this month. I started in November I had a couple of health issues that needed to be addressed so I had lots of testing and doctor appointments. It has been a very long road for me. I had two doctors that were very negative about me having gastric bypass so I replaced them both with doctors that both are so very happy for me and very supportive!

My surgery date is July 19th. I stilk have the cardiac exam and the sleep apnea test and then its just the pre-op stuff. I am anxious and cant wait to have my surgery. I know that this is not the body I am meant to have. Congratulations to you on the next chapter of your life! I look forward to seeing your progress [emoji123][emoji123]

Cardiac exam is quick & easy. I noticed that with heart specialist they may have a full schedule so its good to schedule the cardiac appointment as soon as possible but if you have already scheduled it make sure you go to it. The reason why I am saying this is because they fill up quick and when I rescheduled it took me another 3 weeks to get in. So try to avoid rescheduling so you can get that clearance. I also had to go through an extra exam with my heart specialist so that caused another delay. The sleep study was ok for me they woke me up throughout the night so that wasnt the best sleep. I have moderate apnea and I am on a full mask cpap. If you do have sleep apnea they will order a c pap machine before your surgery. Insurance pays for it but you have to use it or they will stop paying for it. Before I got mine my nurse told me you have to have the cpap machine before your surgery& also bring it with you for the hospital stay post op. I finally got my machine and it so very helpful. Like I stated in an earlier post. This is a process and at times it will go fast and then go slow but still in all it brings you closer to your surgery date. Just keep working on getting all your pre op finished and keep the smile on your face. Youre almost there. Happy face
