Hi I'm a 34 yr old mom of two young kids and my surgery is scheduled for August 2017! Im excited and super nervous at the same time. Just wanted to see if anyone else was getting surgery in August too?

Yes! My surgery date is August 4th! I'm 26 and a single mother of one! I'm excited and nervous as well! I've just been doing a lot of research and trying to prepare as best I can! Good luck!

Me too! I'm getting my lapband out the end of June. I will then have the gastric sleeve surgery, the end of August. I'm so excited!!!

Mine is August 7th, I'm super excited and nervous. My last nutrition appointment is next month, I'm praying my insurance accepts it. Then my sleeve is a go !!

What insurance do you guys have? My last nutrition appointment is mid July, and then I am assuming I can see if my surgery will be approved. I have high mark. Do you know if the doctor will check for approval or should I call?

Your doctor should check but you should call, I have blue cross blue shield so like united healthcare! My last appointment is July 11th.

My last nutritionist appointment will be in July. I'm hoping that the approval process with my insurance isn't that long, so I can get it done in August

Im 69 and my surgery is scheduled for Aug 2. Getting anxious to be beyond the surgery.

I have highmark also. I kind of went backwards so I'm just waiting on my Dr to send letter of clearance to my surgeon. I'm hoping i can have my surgery next month.

Kamjmm25: Ive been working out when I can at a gym, 3-4 times a week. And I'm avoiding bread, pasta and rice. I leave to go on a 10-day cruise later this week, so that will really be the test with all that great food.

The food on the cruise gets me every time. Good luck.

I struggle with eating too much. I have been doing really good breakfast and lunch then I eat too much at dinner. Then after kids are in bed I struggle. I have lost 12 lbs so far, but it's definitely tough. I would totally over eat on a cruise. Lol

I am having surgery August 16th. I am a single mom of 8 and my youngest has special needs. I do struggle with anxiety about having this done and not being there for a few days for them; however, I keep reminding myself this will allow me the opportunity to become a better mom for them, a healthier mom. So many emotions.
